How to connect to Azure function which is configured for Azure Active Directory authentication from Dynamics CRM

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by ansrikanth 3,115

I have created an Azure function. With no authentication configured, I'm able to create a webhook for this function in Dynamics CRM (using Plugin registration tool) and call the function. but now, I need to enable the Authentication and use AAD auth. This is failing because the CRM is not able to authenticate with Azure functions. Is it possible to integrate Azure Functions(AAD Authenticated) with Dynamics CRM?

All the places, I'm getting the other way around - like Authenticating Azure Function with CRM by registering it as App. In my case, it should be the other way around.

    No... Not really.. the post mentions how to connect to CRM from Azure function with out providing creds. But in my case, I have to call this function from CRM (using Webhooks created in plugin registration tool).

    Thank you

    Hi,

    We hope you have followed the below steps to create a webhook in D365 using plug in registration tool.
    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/customer-engagement/developer/use-webhooks#invoke-a-webhook-from-a-plugin-or-workflow-activity

    Once this is done, copy the service endpoint ID.
    1. Select webhook from the plugin registration tool.
    2. Copy ID from the properties window at the bottom.

    You can invoke this webhook from your plugin or custom workflow using IServiceEndpointNotificationService.

    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/customer-engagement/developer/sample-azure-aware-custom-plugin

    Note: Sending a data from CRM to azure function does not require any AD based authentication. It's a REST API request.

    If the Azure function is having AD Based authentication, then it is not possible to invoke from CRM (either through code or webhook message). It gives 401 - forbidden response. This is exactly what I'm looking for www.youtube.com/watch but in this example Marc showed on using with Custom Connector in my case I should use Dynamics CRM. Unfortunately, I don't know how to register Dynamics CMR as an App.
