2987124 - SSO enabled but link errors as invalid or requires credentials

When you click a hyperlink (to Enable Now Manager) in a Microsoft Office document, you may experience the following behavior before you can open the page that you requested:

• You are redirected to a logon page or an error page
• You are prompted for authentication information.

Typically, this behavior occurs when the following conditions are true:

• You open the Office document in edit mode outside the Web browser.
• The Web site in the hyperlink uses a Single Sign-On (SSO) authentication system that relies on HTTP session cookies for client identification.

Even if you have already provided user credentials, you are prompted to provide the user credentials again.

Example Error : “You have followed an invalid link. If you have bookmarked this link, please replace it with your application URL “. :

 Note: The hyperlink does work if you type it directly in the browser or in the Open box of the Run dialog box.

• Accessing Manager URL from hyperlink in 3rd party software, typically a Microsoft Office product.
