3CX Prompting for Outlook Credentials on Logon

[Jord]

Hi,

I have a client using 3CX.
He's running windows 10, is on Office 365 and using Office 2016.
Every time his computer starts up, I believe 3CX prompts for his Outlook credentials.
His Outlook starts manually, so it is not outlook calling for them.

Has anyone encountered this before and know of a way to stop it prompting?

Thanks

Hi @Jord,

I don't think it's 3CX, we don't do that. Can you share a screenshot to confirm?

Thanks.

It just looks like the prompt attached.
When I put in the credentials, 3CX starts up.

That's a Windows message, you're trying to access a network resource. That's not 3CX fault, it's related to your network environment.

I get that it's a Windows message, but he is the only person on the network getting this error, and he's also the only one who has outlook syncing his contacts through 3CX.
If I can rule 3CX out that's great, I just need to figure out what exactly is asking for it, and 3CX seemed pretty likely.

Try uninstalling the 3CX client to confirm if it's related to it or not. I think this user has a PST or address book file in Outlook, in a network resource, and that's why Outlook asks for permissions. The add-ins we provide are only to communicate locally with the 3CX client installed in the same PC, so it doesn't make sense at all that the Windows message is related to 3CX...
