    Hi,

    If you want to develop extension then you use your username & password (same as you login into BC). If you want to connect to API/web Services then you have to create Web Resource key on User Setup page and use it as a password (Basic authentication). Just be aware that the the last authentication method is deprecated and will be replaced by OAuth next year.

    Hello,

    On NST you can set authentication type to NavUserPassword, Windows and Azure AD (AccessControlService). There may be a few others to select from, but these are the ones that are relevant.

    If you set NavUserPassword on NST, you can choose UserPassword. If you choose AccessControlService, you can select AAD in VS Code. Idem for Windows.

    Thanks.

    Hello,

    To top Marco's reply

    This authentication - NAVUserPassword is managed by Business Central Server.

    And to configure it , have a look to this blog -

    Hope this helps :)
