GP and AD FS Authentication

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Andrew Cliff 125

I've heard that it's not possible to use AD FS authentication with the GP desktop client, although you can use it with the web client, possibly with a 3rd party app (such as Fast Path).

Is there any documentation that clarifies this?

Thanks.

    Andrew,  There is an interesting article discussing this.

    That is interesting. Do you know if these caveats apply to GP 2015?

    Andrew I would caution you on this posting - while coming from a source that is beyond reproach - it is dated - written in 2009,  I am not sure even David M knew what was coming for / with or in GP2015 and the Web Client

    Do some more research first before you make any decisions on this matter.

    I dont mark this as a suggested answer as it does not answer the question, but addresses other matters

    I don't think the document specifically says it.  However, here's some text from the What's New help file that specifies the web client:

    Identity management

    The identity management enhancement enables you to log into your Microsoft Dynamics GP Web Client user account with your organizational account (Azure Active Directory (AD) account). This alleviates the need to log in separately to access your network, SQL Server database and Microsoft Dynamics GP, relying instead on a single secure log in to deliver access to your GP workspace.
