Nav 2018 authentication with Azure Cloud Users

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by derekr

Hello,

I am trying to authenticate our Azure Cloud-only users with our Nav 2018 instance. We have the app set up in Azure. I create the user and add their email into the authentication email portion of the Office 365 Authentication section. I also add the app ID but it does not take the app id. it gives me the error that external clients cannot use this client.

Thanks,

Derek

    Hello,

    That field is for SaaS environments only. It is not needed for OnPrem. You need to add the AppId and WS Federation Metadata location and Client Federation Metadata into the customsettings.config file.

    Note that all these setting should match very precisely.

    Thanks.

    Hi Zhu,

    Everything is set up in Azure with the enterprise apps according to the documentation. Not sure what else to look at.

    Hi Marco,

    I had all of the settings correct. I am not sure what else is missing.

    Here is a screenshot of the error.

    Hello,

    The AcsUri must be correct as well in the clientusersettings.config file.

    Thanks.

    Hello,

    Feel free to raise it via your partner or CSP. Usually this is related to configuration challenges.

    Thanks.
