The proxy pop messages still occurring as per the below.

Background Information The client in question has only just started supporting Macs internally.

The Problem Amongst other applications, the client was deploying Microsofts Office for Mac 2016 suite using a site-license for all Macs.

Once they did, a window as per the below, was shown to the end user: If the user entered their Proxy username and password the application would load and run fine, but the same message would appear (along with the delay) the next time one of the core three applications are launched.

If the user dismissed the window by using the red X button, another 4-5 windows would appear, one at a time.

This procession of popup windows would repeat another 2-3 times depending on what options users selected within the application (e.g.

New, Open etc). After working the issue with the client, we found that the Office application in question was correctly using the Kerberised authentication initially, but almost immediately fell back to an authentication request, and prompted the user for these details.

The client reached out to Microsoft support who confirmed that this was the correct resolution to the issue.

Additional Information Since my own journey of discovery, Paul Bowden (Microsoft Software Engineer for Office for Mac iOS) on the MacAdmins Slack instance (goes by the handle pbowden in the microsoft-office channel) posted a PDF called Network Requests in Office 2016 for Mac.

This details a number of URLs that the Office for Mac 2016 apps reach out to and why.

Additionally, it also provides details on ways to reduce the network requests and traffic.

I have yet to test these in the same restrictive environment as I found at the specific clients site, but I imagine it would certainly help reduce the URLs listed above, and the requirement to allow them through unauthenticated.

Summary There you go, hopefully thatll give other Mac Admins a helping hand with trying to use Microsoft Office 2016 in a locked down environment.

As always, if you have any questions, queries or comments, let us know below and Ill try to respond to and delve into as many as I can.

Shame. Shame. Shame.

Respond Dan Hodge 4 years ago Hi Darren, Great article, and great share, this appears to have changed with the release of Sierra and possibly an update from MS.

The template window does not open anymore, but you get a message at the end There is a problem with your account.

Dan Respond Darren Wallace 4 years ago Hi Dan, Thanks for the update.

Ive yet to have to go back to this so Ive not tested it with Sierra yet.

It sounds like there are more URLs that need to be whitelisted.

I would suggest working with your proxy administrator to see what ports the client is being blocked from (should be visible in the Proxy logs) and whitelisting them.

Good luck Darren Respond Leave a Reply Cancel reply Your email address will not be published.
