Dynamics 2017 Web Client

Posted on by Rumwood 5

Hi All

This might be a quick fix for someone who's done it before.

We have a Dynamics Nav 2017 middle tier server, running the required services for our Windows clients to connect to.

I've been trying to create a Web Client server, so have commissioned a new Server 2016 with IIS etc and done the installation.

From the server itself, logged on as a NAV user, the web client opens 100% and I can browse through the pages.

When connecting to the web client url from elsewhere on the same subnet, the page shows the logo and then "An error has occurred . . .".

The Application Event Viewer shows :-

Error accessing Website Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2017 Web Client
Raw Url: /Link_62/WebClient/list.aspx?spa=1&dc=0&inapp=false
Url: gclfweb02:8080/.../list.aspx
Type: Microsoft.Dynamics.Nav.Types.NavServerNotFoundException
Message: A server was not found at "net.tcp://gclfnav01:8046/Link_62/Service".
Either the URL is incorrect or the server is currently not available.

My question is - why, when I connect from a browser external to the web server, does the system add "\Service" to the url ?

I suspect this is why it's not working ?

Any ideas would be greatly received.

Thank you

    Hello,

    With external you mean outside the corporate network? Or just for a client machine that is hosted inside the corparate network. We recommend to use modern authentication when connecting from outside the corporate network, e.g. via Azure AD authentication.

    There are a few articles that must be followed very precisely:

    docs.microsoft.com/.../provision-server-account

    There is a Dynamics NAV article that needs to be followed as well very precisely and this article does apply to Dynamics 365 Business Central as well:

    docs.microsoft.com/.../walkthrough--installing-the-microsoft-dynamics-nav-web-server-components-on-three-computers

    Thanks.

    Hi Marco

    No, by "external" I mean anything on the same subnet as the server which hosts the IIS and Web Client software. I suspect you have mis-read my post ?

    Using a browser on the same server as the IIS and Web Client, we connect to NAV 100%.

    Using a browser on any other computer, on the same subnet as the server, we get the error posted above.

    Thank you

    Hello,

    Then the link to the articles apply 100%. It is such a common question to Microsoft support.

    Thanks.
