Hi, my project is using the CrmServiceClient class from Microsoft.Xrm.Tooling.Connector. The way I'm using it (by requirement) is with connection string (e.g. CrmServiceClient("AuthType=AD;Url=http://contoso:8080/Test; Domain=CONTOSO; Username=jsmith; Password=passcode")).

I'm currently able to connect to CRM Online, On-Premise, etc. with this method except when I need to set the Home Realm Uri parameter. There is an On-Premise CRM 365 which requires Home Realm Uri to retrieve the connection, when I put the rest of the parameters and the HomeRealmUri in it I'm unable to connect (with the message from CrmServiceClient.LastCrmError being "Unable to login to Dynamics Crm").

I tested using other method to see if I had incorrect information but this approach actually worked to connect to the same CRM successfully:

OrganizationServiceProxy service = new OrganizationServiceProxy(new Uri("https://contoso.crm.dynamics.com/XRMServices/2011/Organization.svc"), new Uri("https://server-1.server.com/adfs/services/trust/mex"), credentials, null);

My current connection string looks like this:

Server=https://contoso.crm.dynamics.com/contoso;Domain=contoso;UserName=contoso\\admin;Password=passcode;HomeRealmUri=server-1.server.com/.../mex;AuthType=IFD

I've tried different sets of parameters (removing the domain from username, adding ports to the server uri, changing auth type to AD, etc.) to no avail. I've searched a lot in the web too but haven't been able to find any information about a successful connection using homerealmuri with connection string apart from Microsoft documentation.

I'd like to know if somebody has a suggestion on what could be wrong in this situation or if at least someone has worked with home realm uri with CrmClientService(connectionstring) to give me some sense of direction.

Thanks,
