We still have this issue. Here is our scenario:
User is logged on through SSO into BI Launchpad. Analysis Office Workbook is published on the Launchpad. When opening up the workbook, the system opens Analysis (Excel) but prompts for logon to Business Objects. Unfortunately, with our set up, users don't have a direct password into Business Objects because they are authenticated in SAP using certificates.
So how do we get rid of the second logon screen into Analysis of Office (since the user is already authenticated when logged on to BI Launchpad)? Any help would be much appreciated.
