Windows Security Login Screen Instead of Office 365 Login Screen When Trying to Login to SharePoint Online Site Using SharePoint Designer 2013 Problem and Solution
Hello friends, today I will talk to you about an error that happens to me from time to time and you do not know how to solve it when it happens to you.
There is no one who does not know how to develop SharePoint, the SharePoint designer tool, which is one of the sine qua non of SharePoint projects. Although it has made patches on its latest version, SharePoint 2013, it has not released a new version. At this stage, we can use this tool in the online version of SharePoint, which came into our lives later.
At this point, if your SharePoint site’s address ends as “.sharepoint.com”, that is, if you are logging into the SharePoint online system, it opens the Office 365 login screen or if it is another address, that is, if you are going to login to the SharePoint prem version, the windows security popup screen opens and allows you to login.
But sometimes when you try to log in to some sharepoint online addresses even though you are connected to other sites, it may ask you to log in by opening the windows security popup login screen instead of the Office 365 login screen.
As you can see in the image above, even though my address is sharepoint.com and the system I connect to is sharepoint online address, it opens the windows security screen for me. If you write the e-mail address and password on the online side here, it will not work because there are different environment login screens.
To solve this problem, you need to make a small adjustment on your computer, namely the machine with sharepoint designer installed. For this setting, we first open “regedit”. Then we come to the following path.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Common\Identity
In this position, we create a value by right-clicking on the page and selecting “DWORD (32-bit) Value” from “New”.
We call this variable “EnableADAL” and set its value to “1”. After we make this change and complete our registration, we close the regedit registry.
If our sharepoint designer application is open in the background, we must close it and open it again after the above setting is completed.
After completing the above steps without any problems, restart your designer application and try to log in to your site, and you will see Office 365 login screen, not windows security login screen.
In this way, you can connect to your site without any problems and do your work.
