Does NAV use WS-Trust?

Posted on by Robert50 212

I've received an email from O365 about the depreciation of WS-Trust.  Does NAV 2017 use WS-Trust for the Dynamics sync integration?  I'm trying to figure out where we've utilized WS-Trust so I can alert the developers.  Thanks

Microsoft Dynamics 365: WS-Trust authentication protocol for connecting to Dataverse is deprecated

Please forward this information to your teams/partners who are still using WS-Trust Authentication Protocol to connect to Dataverse, as WS-Trust will be shutdown starting April 4th, 2022. This will cause disruptions in services using WS-Trust Authentication Protocol.

As previously communicated on February 04, 2020, effective April 04, 2022, Microsoft Dataverse will be retiring the WS-Trust authentication protocol that is used by custom clients to connect to Microsoft Dataverse

This change affects applications that utilize Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk.Client.OrganizationServiceProxy and Microsoft.Xrm.Tooling.Connector.CrmServiceClient classes for the authentication type of "Office365".

How does this affect me?
On April 04, 2022, this authentication protocol will be retired for all new and existing environments within a tenant. Applications that connect to Microsoft Dataverse using the WS-Trust authentication protocol will no longer connect to Microsoft Dataverse after this retirement.

Our telemetry has identified that one or more of your applications is currently utilizing the WS-Trust authentication protocol to connect to Microsoft Dataverse and will be impacted by this change.

    It looks like the correct answer is Yes.  Earlier version of NAV Integration use WS-Trust to connect to D365.  Here's the Article on how to switch to OAuth.  community.dynamics.com/.../how-to-enable-oauth-authentication-in-dynamics-365-integration-for-dynamics-nav-and-dynamics-365-business-central

    No, this is only for Dataverse integration. This change only impacts client applications that connect to the Microsoft Dataverse, not legacy applications.
