When connecting to
Microsoft Dynamics CRM from Console application C# was getting an error message
“ID3242: The security token could not be authenticated or authorized”?
I recently had this issue
when connecting to Microsoft Dynamics CRM configured with Active Directory Federation Services(ADFS).
My C# Code is simplified using
Microsoft.Xrm.Tooling.Connector.dll
String connectionString = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings[1].ConnectionString;
CrmServiceClient conn = new CrmServiceClient(connectionString);
// Cast the proxy client to the
IOrganizationService interface.
_orgService = (IOrganizationService)conn.OrganizationWebProxyClient
!= null ?
(IOrganizationService)conn.OrganizationWebProxyClient : (IOrganizationService)conn.OrganizationServiceProxy;
Guid orgId = ((WhoAmIResponse)_orgService.Execute(new WhoAmIRequest())).UserId;
My App.config Settings were
<add
name="Server=CrmServerAddress,
organization=CrmOrg, user=CrmAdminUser"
connectionString= "Url=https://crmserveraddress/crmorg;
Domain=myDomain
Username=CrmAdminUser;
Password=*********;
authtype=IFD"/>
I
could still access Dynamics CRM through the browser just fine but not
from my console application.
To
resolve the issue it was a very simple change. It seems that with the upgrade
of ADFS it has now required the UPN (user principal name /
Another
option that worked was to use the Down-Level logon name (Domain\username)
myDomain\CrmAdminUser
If
you receive such an error while trying to connect Dynamic CRM from console C#
application or anything else that consumes the Dynamics CRM services, change
user name and maybe you’ll be back up and running a little quicker.
I
hope this helps!
Thanks.
