Description: When trying to open files from a SharePoint share mounted to Windows File manager as an UNC path (http://our-SP/Shared documents/foo.docx) LO started to pop up an authentication prompt. Pressing OK without entering credentials opens the file correctly, and selecting “Use system credentials” opens it correctly too. Earlier versions just opened the file without this window. Steps to Reproduce: Try to open files from a SharePoint share mounted to Windows File manager as an UNC path. Actual Results: Authentication request is shown, but does not do much. Expected Results: No auth request Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: Bibisected using bibisect-win64-6.4 to: URL: https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=20b1e6440aacab043753e93be4499e939a80b05b author Mike Kaganski <mike.kaganski@collabora.com> 2019-01-09 10:54:10 +0300 committer Mike Kaganski <mike.kaganski@collabora.com> 2019-06-28 08:33:46 +0200 summary: tdf#126121: WebDAV redirection detection

Yes, that's expected ... because after that commit, LibreOffice detects the redirection, and uses WebDAV (and not Windows redirector that hides details from the software, and uses connection already established at system level). I don't know how to use the system logon here (and actually doubt it's possible at all) ... so I don't think I could solve this problem (without reverting that). Do you have a suggestion?
I just noticed that setting the key org.openoffice.Office.Common/Passwords/TrySystemCredentialsFirst to true makes this annoying popup go away and file opening to "just work" like it used to. Maybe the same magic behind that could be used? Maybe setting this key to true by default can be a viable option too (although it could have security implications... I'm not sure about that).
Mike, you've asked fo a solution. Is comment 4 helpful?

I'm not sure about that). That looks promising. I can't check that ATM; I suppose your team could explore that? I would be glad to review the patch - please CC me. Thanks!
let's move it to NEW meanwhile
Hi, I tested with every version higher than 6.3.6.2 and the problem's still present. Even 7.1.0.1 the last I tested. How can it be it has changed behavior from 6.3 to 6.4 ? Regards.
