Posted on by IamImran

Hi everyone,

I am working on an Android app which needs to connect with Microsoft Dynamics 365 and Dataverse. I want to make sure that connection is secure and data stays safe. But I’m not very sure how authentication works or what’s the best way to do it. I’m also using Capcut app for creating related video content.

Can anyone guide me on how to connect the app properly? Like what methods to use for login and data security? Also if there are any tools or tips that can make this easier, please let me know.

Thanks a lot.

Hi Jamil 👋

Great question!

To securely connect your Android app to Microsoft Dynamics 365 and Dataverse, here are some recommended steps:

✅ Use Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) for authentication.
This is the most secure and scalable method. You can register your app in Azure AD and use OAuth 2.0 to authenticate users and obtain access tokens.

✅ Leverage Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD B2C) if you're targeting external users.
It allows you to manage identities and provide secure access to your app.

✅ Use Microsoft Power Platform connectors or Dataverse Web API for data access.
Make sure to use HTTPS and validate tokens on every request.

🔐 Security Tips:

Always use access tokens with proper scopes.

Avoid storing credentials locally.

Use certificate pinning and secure storage for sensitive data.

Monitor and log access for auditing.

📚 Microsoft Learn and the official documentation for Dataverse Web API and Azure AD authentication are great starting points.

Hope this helps!
