GP Web Services SQL Authorization Store

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 267

Hello,

When I install Web Services, I have been using the SQL Authorization store by default. A recent post on the GP support blog is stating that Active Directory authorization store is now the recommended method, in order to be compatible with TLS 1.2. https://community.dynamics.com/gp/b/dynamicsgp/posts/microsoft-dynamics-gp-upgrade---upgrading-microsoft-dynamics-web-services  I have a couple of questions in regards to this:

  • The only impact I have seen with having TLS 1.0 disabled is that the installer is not able to communicate with SQL to create the security database. You can temporarily enable TLS 1.0, run the installer, and once Web services is installed, you can disable TLS 1.0. Are there any other features/functions with web services that require TLS 1.0 to be enabled?
  • When TLS 1.0 is retired, does that mean that you cannot enable it at all, even if you use a tool such as IISCrypto?
  • If we start using Active Directory for the security store, is there any recommended routine maintenance (such as a backup)?

Thank you!

Kayla

    Actually, we've seen where having TLS 1.0 disabled on the server that Web Services is installed onto, not only affects the installation, but will cause the Web Services not to function correctly, i.e. when you go into the Dynamics Security Console, it doesn't fully work, even though the endpoint URLs may still render in the browser window.

    Thus, in the new GP 18.3 Fall 2020 release, Web Services has been changed as per the blog you mentioned where Active Directory for the authorization store is now the recommendation.

    Thanks
