Cannot logon with credentials obtained from Secure Store Provider

Problem Description:

I'm using SPD 2010 to connect to an external SQL database hosted on a different server. External data source type selection is SQL Server. I then filled up the connection properties, choose "Connect with Impersonated Windows Identity" and Secure Store Application Id. But SPD 2010 returns this error: Cannot logon with credentials obtained from Secure Store Provider

Error message:

Cannot logon with credentials obtained from Secure Store Provider

We need to set up your Secure Store service application on the server, and add a Target Application. This is an arbitrary name you assign to the set of credential mappings that you will set up in the Secure Store but getting the same error.

Troubleshooting done:

1)   I made sure that the credentials that i set in the secure store have at least db_reader access to the database.

2)   Also ensured the user making the request is a part of members group for the target application.

3)   Chekced the ULS logs and did not find anything relevant.

4)   Suspecting that there is some sort of firewall or VPN issue but, I am not sure how to proceed?

5)   Tried with different account rather than system account to ensure it reflects the same set of results.

6)   Referred the following articles again n again to make sure everything set up correctly but did not yield any results!

Not able to open office documents from SharePoint

Let me describe the problem in details-

-I can open the documents from my desktop

-I can save the documents to desktop by means of SharePoint site

-But if i tried opening documents from the SharePoint site directly then I can’t open it and getting filename error message box.

-Tried opening the document in Mozilla Firefox and it works fine.

-Tried opening the document in Google chrome and it works fine.

-Now it’s clear that the problem is with the IE only. Let me tell you that I am not using 64-bit IE but using 32-bit version only!

-Tried clearing the cache and cookies in IE but same problem.

-Tried adding the site in trusted zone but same problem.

-Checked with other office documents like MS Excel, PowerPoint but same    problem.

Finally I have applied the following resolution:

1)   Run one of the Office 2010 application

2)   Click on File menu, and select Options.

3)   In the “Options” dialog, select Trust Center in the left pane.

4)   Click on Trust Center Settings in the right pane.

5)   Select Protected View in the left pane of “Trust Center” dialog.

6)   Disable any of all of the protected view options as below by uncheck the check boxes:

·         Enable Protected View for files that fail validation

·         Enable Protected View for files originating from the Internet

·         Enable Protected View for files located in potentially unsafe locations

·         Enable Protected View for Outlook attachments
