CRM Connection String for Azure AD B2B Accounts

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Christoph Keller

Hi there,

we have a few environments where we are invited as users by Azure AD B2B connect (See [1] and [2]). We have no troubles to access the crm instances in the browser. However, we currently find no working connection string to connect to such an environment, without using a local user for the login. We more or less tried all combinations for the username (our local one or the invited user upn in form of username_localdomain#EXT#@customer.onmicrosoft.com).

Does anyone have a working example for this scenario or some other helpful hints? This article https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/customer-engagement/developer/xrm-tooling/use-connection-strings-xrm-tooling-connect does not contain any further helpful insights.

Regards,

Christoph

    Just received the confirmation. Guest user scenario (Azure AD B2B) is not supported by the SDK.

    Hi there,

    I have the same issue. The guest users can access via Browser but not with a connection string (for example XrmToolBox).

    Regards,

    This is the actual UPN of the user. Connecting with a native user of this tenant is not an issue, but this is not the question. I need to connect with my invited user.

    just thinking out of the box....did you try a different user without special chars ('#')
