(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Community Member

Hi, 

I am trying to configure the server-based authentication between CRM2016 On Premise and SharePoint 2016 On Premise.  

I've run all the commands in this technet article: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn949332.aspx 

Unfortunately i always getting a Invalid SharePoint absolute URL.

And this is the error msg i have in my CRM server events viewer : 

The Web Service plug-in failed in OrganizationId: 7c45934a-e269-42e3-be98-af9c367af9cc; SdkMessageProcessingStepId: e0bdf6d6-0b83-4aba-838f-f7b4a31afd72; EntityName: sharepointdocument; Stage: 30; MessageName: ValidateSharePointSite; AssemblyName: Microsoft.Crm.Extensibility.InternalOperationPlugin, Microsoft.Crm.ObjectModel, Version=8.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35; ClassName: Microsoft.Crm.Extensibility.InternalOperationPlugin; Exception: Unhandled Exception: System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation.

    Hi,

    Have you found a solution for that problem?
    I still have this problem in my CRM. The two servers (Sharepoint and CRM) have the same date/time and I used the same guide you used.
    Does anybody have a solution?

    Best regards.

    Hi Frantz

    You might want to consider a 3rd party CTI connector for that. One that I know of is Tenfold, they can integrate MS Dynamics. With their integration service you get features such as click to dial, call pop up, advanced analytics and a few more. You can check them out on the link below.

    I Solved By changing the user that runs the pool of CRM applications site. First it was Network Service.

    Hi Laura, did you change the Identity to a Service Account ?

    Now on my CRM the Identity that's running the AppPool is a service account ie: domain\CRMSvc.

    Did you give this user access to the SharePoint Sites ?

    Best regards.

    Any update on this? Hitting the same bug.

  • Joe Woltering Profile Picture
    Joe Woltering 12,163 on at

    ***UPDATE***: Disregard; I found this note on the TechNet page for configuring Server-Side Auth:

    1. If you get errors in the event log saying:

    "An error occurred while parsing EntityName. Line 7, position 171."

    It is due to the service account of the application not having access to the private key. After running the Powershell script, you need to manually add read access to the file created here by the script:

    C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA\MachineKeys

    I was unable to find a way of determining which file I simply looked at the modifed timestamp and saw which one had the time for when I ran the config script.

    technet.microsoft.com/.../dn949332.aspx

    I assume that means the Service Pool Account for the App Management Service on SP. I just gave Everyone - Read to the certs that were created (which I am sure is not best practice, but it works.)
