Sign Into Your SharePoint 2013 Site As A Different User

03/15/201604/25/2016 Jared Meredith

If you have SharePoint configued to use NTLM with Integrated Windows Authentication (IWA) then it can be tricky to come into your portal as someone other than yourself. There is a cool way to force SharePoint to present a login prompt to check your credentials again. This is very useful especially when you are trying to test with other accounts.

The trick is to append:

 
/_layouts/15/closeConnection.aspx?loginasanotheruser=true

to your site collection URL. So if our URL was “http://yoursharepointsite” then the example would be:

 
http://yoursharepointsite/_layouts/15/closeConnection.aspx?loginasanotheruser=true

Hope this helps, questions are welcome.
