RE: NAV 2017 connection to Dynamics 365 (CRM) just stopped working
Hello,
To verify the connection, you can build the connection yourself via this tool:
https://www.xrmtoolbox.com/
It is a bit of a puzzle when you do this for the first time, but after a while you should be able to figure it out. If the connection works from there, it is an issue with Dynamics 365 BC / Dynamics NAV. if XRM Toolbox connection is not able to connect either, it is an issue with CRM. Note that not all older releases of Dynamics NAV have added support for OAUTH(2) yet.
The link Andrew shared will indeed happen but does not explain why connection stopped working for an existing CRM tenant.
The way to ensure you can use OAUTH / OAUTH2 is to upgrade to later release of Dynamics 365 BC. OAUTH will also be added for older Dynamics NAV releases, but it requires you to ensure you are running latest CU so that you can easily move to the one that will have the supported added. I do not believe it is yet there, but we are working on it.
Thanks.
