RTC Links in MS Excel 2013 don't work, any work-around?
RTC 6.0.1
MS Excel 2013 I am creating hyperlinks in Excel to RTC work items. If I click on the link, I get the following message: Invalid path to authentication servlet.: / If I copy the url and paste it into the web browser it works. I have tested with links to other applications and all of them work, but not RTC links. Do you know if this is a known issue? Any work-around available? Thank you! Isabel |

Hi Isabel, thanks to the link you share with me, I found below solution, and I am posting her for others reference:
Hyperlinks from Office to Internet Explorer or to another Web browserIf this issue occurs when you click hyperlinks in Office documents that either directly open HTML Web content or are redirected to HTML content, client users can avoid the problem by enabling a registry key to send the hyperlink navigation to the browser instead of directly binding to the hyperlink from Office. For more information, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:Note Regardless of the version of Office that you have installed, add the registry key in the exact location that is specified in Microsoft Knowledge Base article 218153. When you use this registry setting, the HLINK component that is used by Office opens the hyperlink in the default Web browser. This registry setting affects all HLINK clients, not just Office. Therefore, use this registry key carefully. |

Dashboards and work items are no longer publicly available, so some links may be invalid. We now provide similar information through other means. Learn more here.

Are you sure "links to other applications" also require login and still work?
hi Donald,
Yes, I tested Mural between others.
