Can't setup Security Groups

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by NWard 9

Hello

I'm trying to setup and test security groups in BC.  

I setup a AAD security group and added 1 member and 1 owner.

when I try and create the group in BC I get the following error when I enter the AAD Security Group Name.

"Validation Results

An error occurred while querying for external license information. For error details check the inner exception."

Can anybody advise on what needs to be done to resolve this?

Thanks

Nick

    Hi Nick, i get the same error.

    i did test it out in BC 22.0 and could connect with security groups in AAD.

    But after upgrading to BC 22.1 i get that message.

    Are you on 22.1 as well?

    Hi, in the latest BC22.1, this becomes a lookup page and no input is required. I suspect that upgrading to BC22.1 will resolve this issue.

    Today it works using the 3 dots,

    Thursday to Saturday gave an error when pressing the 3 dots. Cant remember exactly what it said, but something like it could not find our Azure Directory, which is kind of funny since i could login :)

    Thanks ZHU!
