Hello All,

I have a On-Premise setup of Microsoft Dynamics 365.

I am able to call restful API from plugin/workflow activity when it is not registered under sandbox mode.

The moment, I register it under sandbox, I am getting an error.

I have done following things for the same

Restful API is exposed over https
While calling the API from plugin/workflow activity, I am using web address that requires DNS name resolution
Anonymous authentication is supported by Restful API.

I have tried all possible ways. Can you suggest me any other solution. Any workaround at least?

Any help would be much appreciated !!!

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Sachin

Sachin,

There are few reasons why your code doesn't work. What is the port it is available on? If it's not 443 - you should enable it. Check this post - docs.microsoft.com/.../gg334752(v=crm.8)

If the port is 443 you should check Firewall Settings on your server.

Hello Andrew,

Thank you for the quick response. The Restful API is available on ports 443. I can call this api using normal standard .Net Console application.

Below is the sample code which I am writing in the Plugin

ServicePointManager.ServerCertificateValidationCallback = (sender, cert, chain, sslPolicyErrors) => true;
var webClient = new WebClient();
webClient.Headers[HttpRequestHeader.ContentType] = "application/json";
var serviceUrl = "">www.*******.com/.../";

// upload the data using Post mehtod
string response = webClient.DownloadString(serviceUrl);
return response;

Can you let me know about where I am making the mistake. Also the plugin is running in Sandbox mode.

Regards,

Sachin

Sachin,

As I mentioned you should check Firewall Settings on your server. Alternatively try to use "No Isolation" when you register the plugin because you're using On-Prem so you have this option there.

Hello Andrew,

Yes with "No Isolation" mode it works fine. But I want to make it work in Sandbox mode.

Sachin,

What error do you get when you run your plugin in isolation?

You may want to try removing the following line of code:

ServicePointManager.ServerCertificateValidationCallback = (sender, cert, chain, sslPolicyErrors) => true;

Use of certificates is not supported in sandbox service. Additionally, you might prefer using the HttpClient class for consuming RESTful APIs.
