BIDS - Unable to connect to data source from VS 2012

Posted on by 30

Guys,

I have an error when I tried to connect CRM 2015 online instance from VS2012. I have already installed Data Tool for VS2012 and CRM extension. Then when I create a new report wizard data source at VS2012, I choose MS Dynamic CRM Fetch as Type source. Connection string is: https://orgname.crm.dynamics.com; organization unique name; (I tried both with ";" and without ";" at the end of connection string). Set Credentials to "Use this user name and password" with my office 365 username and password.

Then I click Next, it says "Unable to connect to data source 'DataSource1'.The connection to server "https://orgname.crm.dynamics.com/XRMServices/2011/Discovery.svc" could not be established. Make sure that the connection string and credentials are correct, and try again."

Followed as per below link:

Anyone can give me some advice? or what should I check in my settings or configurations? 

Thanks in advance,

Vijay

    Hello,

    I'm facing the same problem. I've tried different connection strings but nothing worked. Did you find a solution and if you did could you please share it?

    Regards,
