The security token service metadata document could not be parsed

Posted on by Rose Duley 780

I am back again and trying this integration again !! - We have Dynamics CRM 2016 and SharePoint 2016 - both on-premise.  I am trying to integrate the two by following this article: - https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn949332.aspx.  My CRM is an IFD deployment with ADFS and WAP. 

I am stuck on the following command New-SPTrustedSecurityTokenIssuer –Name "crm" –IsTrustBroker:$false –MetadataEndpoint https://MyCrmServerhostname/XrmServices/2015/metadataendpoint.svc/json?orgName=MyOrganizationName which gives the error as follows:

New-SPTrustedSecurityTokenIssuer : The security token service metadata document could not be parsed.
At line:1 char:1
+ New-SPTrustedSecurityTokenIssuer -Name "crm" -IsTrustBroker:$false -M ...
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : InvalidData: (Microsoft.Share...rityTokenIssuer:SPCmdletNewTrustedSecurityTokenIssuer) [
   New-SPTrustedSecurityTokenIssuer], InvalidOperationException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell.SPCmdletNewTrustedSecurityTokenIssuer

If I enter the MetadataEndpoint in IE it asks if I want to save or open json.json. 

I have exhausted Google to find a solution.  Can anyone help me here - I am now desparate!!

    "Where was the Options screen to disable IFD that you referenced?"

    Hi Rajkumar  -  It wasn't as daunting as I thought it would be!!  I was relieved to see that there was a "Disable" option to turn off Claims and IFD  and my settings were not lost!  So all went well.  THANKS so much for getting back to me and assisting here!!

    Just for others following the same article as I did - note that I had to use GET-SPauthenticationRealm -SerivceContext sharepointsite.contoso.com/.../crm to get realm ID for SharePoint site.  Going into Site settings did not work for me.

    Is this the only way?  UNDO IFD? That is scary!  Do you guys know what hassles were had doing the IFD?  Is there no Microsoft update that will fix this?
