APAR status
Closed as fixed if next.
Error description
Executing a report in one of the possible Microsoft Office formats (CSV or Excel), results in a windows authentication prompt on Open. This happens when a webserver is configured (with or without SSO configuration). When a network trace is performed, one can see a request from User-agent "Microsoft Office Protocol Discovery" which is answered with HTTP 401 Unauthorized.
Local fix
A URL Rewrite can be performed based on the User-agent, to answer with HTTP 204, instead of HTTP 401.
