AX 2012 OData with HTTPS

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Community Member

I am working on a proof of concept to show Dynamics AX 2012 data in Salesforce using OData.  I have setup a Dynamics AX 2012 demo environment in Azure using Microsoft Lifecycle Services - technet.microsoft.com/.../dn741581.aspx

I am able to access data through the OData URL - server.domain/.../ODataQueryService and was able to verify through Excel.

When working with Salesforce, only https is supported as a username/password is passed to the OData connection.  I have had a very difficult time finding information on how to update the OData service in Dynamics to use https.

Any information on how to setup this configuration is appreciated.

    Do you have any AX-specific problem, or do you need to know how to set up HTTPS in general?

    The need is specific to the Dynamics AX OData Service.  I setup HTTPS for the website without any issue.

    The WCF configuration for OData service is stored in Ax32Serv.exe.config (in AX server bin directory). I assume you could configure it to use HTTP transport security as usual.

    Can we dive into the details, as this is where it breaks down for me? I can find a lot of general articles on creating a WCF service and then enabling HTTPS.  However, the combination of settings specified in the articles does not produce a working OData service with AX.

    Are you saying that you don't know how to configure any WCF service for HTTPS, or that you can do it with other services but it doesn't work with the OData service in AX? In either case, what exactly happens? E.g. what kind of error messages do you get? Just knowing that it doesn't work is not enough for suggestion a solution.

    I don't know if this setup will work, but I don't see so far why it shouldn't and we definitely can try it.

    I have continued to work on this and hit upon the correct setup.  

    In addition to the configuration changes in the .config file (security mode change to transport, httpsGetEnabled and httpsGetURL setup in behaviors and address change to https in the endpoint address) a URL reservation had to be updated to https for port 8101 using netsh.  The SSL cert must be bound to the port as well, but I already had this step in place.  

    The URL reservation was the last remaining item that kept the service from working on https.  The OData service now works on HTTPs
