The following browser settings are recommended to allow the browser to automatically log in to SharePoint and potentially Jive, relieving the user of having to ever enter a username or password for SharePoint or Jive. These settings are not required, but they do help users with SharePoint web applications or Jive installations that use Windows Integrated Authentication (for example, NTLM or Kerberos) for authenticating to SharePoint or Jive. Jive does not require Windows Integrated Authentication, but if it does use it, then these settings can reduce the steps it takes for a user to log in.
Note: Instead of performing these operations manually, you can use policy management software
to have the browser settings propagated to users' machines. For example, Active Directory
can use group policies to configure the settings for IE browsers for everyone in the organization.
