Using the Web API without AD FS in on-premise environment

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 10

I think I have come to the conclusion that Microsoft has made it impossible to use any REST API calls without AD FS or an on-cloud instance of Dynamics 365, but I figured better to ask first.  I find it frustrating that Microsoft continues to ensure their tools are the most difficult to develop against :-)

Assuming I have to use an on-cloud instance or on-premise with AD FS, is there a way I can gain access to a cloud instance of Dynamics 365 for development purposes? 

My company is broadly using Microsoft 365 for our Office / email solutions, but internally we abandoned Dynamics CRM for these extreme complications, opting for easier to work with solutions. That said, I now have a customer opportunity to build an integration against Dynamics 365 ERP, and I am recalling all the reasons why I was happy to drop that solution for our own purposes :-)

Sorry for my ignorance,

Rod

    I am trying to write a Java application to exchange some information with Dynamics. At this stage I am simply trying to have the Java application authenticate against Dynamics.
