Hello all! I'm trying to connect to my Dynamics CRM Online 2015 server using the Quickstart VS project from microsoft in the SDK: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=44567 ... Here's the tutorial I'm using: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg334689.aspx ... And here's my issue: I put my credentials in the app.config file and uncommented the connection string I put it in, but I'm getting the error, "The username is not provided. Specify username in ClientCredentials." However, I need someone to tell me EXACTLY where I need to enter the credentials in ClientCredentials, as I'm 100% new to this and can't find where I put them in to save my life. Here's the code I have in the app.config file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
<connectionStrings>

<add name="Server=CRM Online, organization=contoso, user=someone"
connectionString="Url=triseum.crm.dynamics.com; Username=laadams@triseum.onmicrosoft.com; Password=mypasswordwashere"/>

</connectionStrings>
<startup>
<supportedRuntime version="v4.0" sku=".NETFramework,Version=v4.5.2" />
</startup>

Connecting to CRM Online you would use:



<add name="Server=CRM Online, organization=contoso, user=someone"

connectionString="Url=triseum.crm.dynamics.com; Username=laadams@triseum.onmicrosoft.com; Password=mypasswordwashere"/>

Hello,

Everything looks fine. Do you have Identity Foundation installed - http://blog.xrm.com/index.php/2012/10/quick-tip-enable-windows-identity-foundation-windows-8/

Thanks for your help! So, now I'm able to put in my username and password, but I can't quite get it to work. It's telling me the following:

Enter a CRM server name and port [crm.dynamics.com]: crm.dynamics.com

Is this organization provisioned in Microsoft Office 365 (y/n) [y]: [y]

Enter Microsoft account: laadams@triseum.onmicrosoft.com

Enter Password: **********

An unsecured or incorrectly secured fault was received from the other party. See

You need to provide CRM credentials in “Credentials.xml” file which is located in your machine at below path:

C:\Users\<YourMachineUserName>\AppData\Roaming\CrmServer\Credentials.xml

If “Credentials.xml” file is already there then delete it.

If the file is not present then create new xml file using below data and with named as “Credentials.xml”. And provide your CRM credentials in the file.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<Configurations>

<Configuration>

    <ServerAddress>crm.dynamics.com</ServerAddress>

    <OrganizationName>YourOrganizationName</OrganizationName>

    <DiscoveryUri>https://disco.crm.dynamics.com/XRMServices/2011/Discovery.svc</DiscoveryUri>

    <OrganizationUri>https://YourOrganizationName.crm.dynamics.com/XRMServices/2011/Organization.svc</OrganizationUri>

    <HomeRealmUri>

    </HomeRealmUri>

    <Credentials>

      <UserName>Your CRM User Name</UserName>

    </Credentials>

    <EndpointType>OnlineFederation</EndpointType>

    <UserPrincipalName>

    </UserPrincipalName>

</Configuration>

</Configurations>

Now run the your application.

When console window is prompted to “Specify the saved server configuration number (1-{0}) [{0}]” then enter 1.

Hope this will help.

Thanks,

Sam

I got it working but today changed my windows password and it all broke again. very messy.

In all the sample Microsoft SDK apps I have had to add

using System.Net;

ServicePointManager.SecurityProtocol = SecurityProtocolType.Tls12;

Back to the original problem, which I had as well, it would be a great addition to the samples to console write that the C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\CrmServer\Credentials.xml did not exist, and/or prompt for the missing information.
