I have some XLS and ODT files on a Windows AD server (CIFS share). When openning the XLS files using KIO (Konq or Krusader with smb://) OpenOffice pops up and asks for a Win domain password (which I give) and everything opens as expected. When I do the same for the ODT file I get get an OpenWith popup from KDE. If I navigate to Calc it works. When copying the file to the local drive it works as expected; so the file associations is fine. Whats going on?
Manne ps. is there is way to tell OpenOffice to get my Win domain password from KDE or Kerberos or where-ever. Very annoying to have to type it in about 20 times a day.
You can configure the Windows ID and password in "Personal Settings". Click on Interent & Network > Local Network Browser.
Thats how I always do it (they must really add a check box for using the system user and passwd). But the problem is OO dont use it.

Manne, I second GT's (not Grant's) suggestion that you mount the drive instead of accessing it dynamically. I would also suggest you use a batch file to do it (saves typing and you call create a convenient alias in .bashrc) Here is an example of a script that can mount multiple shares and your credentials are contained in a separate file for safe keeping. Just change the variable as needed: #!/bin/bash ## check_root if [[ $UID != "0" ]]; then echo -e "\n\n\tThis program must be run as 'root', you with UID=$UID won't do.\n" exit 1 fi ## define variables and mount share 1 SERVER="//zion" OPTS=$(cat /home/david/bin/mntops_dcr) SHARE="/config" MPOINT="/mnt/zion-cfg" if mount | grep -q "on ${MPOINT} type"; then echo "${MPOINT} already mounted" else if [[ ! -d ${MPOINT} ]]; then mkdir -p ${MPOINT} >/dev/null 2>&1 fi mount.cifs ${SERVER}${SHARE} ${MPOINT} ${OPTS} fi ## define and mount share 2 SHARE="/david" MPOINT="/mnt/zion-david" if mount | grep -q "on ${MPOINT} type"; then echo "${MPOINT} already mounted" else if [[ ! -d ${MPOINT} ]]; then mkdir -p ${MPOINT} >/dev/null 2>&1 fi mount.cifs ${SERVER}${SHARE} ${MPOINT} ${OPTS} fi exit 0 Your credential file "mntops_dcr" would contain: -o username=david,uid=1000,password=xxxyyyzzz -- David C.
