Sharepoint 2010 - Can not open documents for editing when opened from a link.
The document opens with following : (Server read-only – this document was opened from a server in read-only mode. [Edit Document] )
When we click on edit document we get the following error: (A problem occurred while connecting to the server. If the problem continues, contact your administrator.)
If we open the same document by browsing to the document within Sharepoint, we are able to check the document out, open it for editing, save the document back and check it in.
Here is our current environment.
Client: Windows 7 sp1, office 2010 pro plus sp1, Client PC is fully patched through 6/29/2013.
WFE server: windows 2008 R2 64 bit, sp1, Sharepoint 2010 sp1 cu April 2013. WFE server is fully patched.
Backend (SQL server) Windows 2008 64 bit sp1, SQL 2008 R2, Backup server is fully patched
Domain Controller, Windows 2008 R2 Sp1, fully patched functioning clean.
We have the servers cloned, wrapped in a software firewall sandbox.
More information: We wanted to make our site accessible on the internet and we did so using SSL. Our staff was having issues with links and shortcuts referencing internal server names over HTTP. In order to reduce confusion we removed all http (port 80) access to our Sharepoint site.
We do not have WebDav installed as a feature in IIS anywhere.
Internet Options-Connections-LAN settings-Automatically detect Settings – unchecked.
Internet Options-Security-User authentication-automatically logon as the current user-checked (on several tabs)
The server has been added to the trusted sites.
The shortcut to our site is formatted like this: https://host.domain.com/....../document.docx
The path to the document is less than 80 characters.
Added my SP server in AuthForwardServerList to the registry
We get the same results both internally and externally
My guess… it has something to do with the way we implemented SSL only. Everything else seems to work just fine. We need this fixed so that we can get workflows implemented.
