Hi Team, We are working in Dynamic Ax 2012 R3 environment. We need to implement token authentication when we got the request from third party application.

We hosted our ax environment on azure virtual machine. There is wcf service project that is the entry point and hosting on IIS.

For wcf project we need to set the authentication code as any user should authentication prior hit this service.

we are maintaining user identity on azure active directory. And wcf service is on premise.

Please suggest any solution if we can achieve it.

Thanks

Ashok Kumar

AX 2012 was designed using Windows authentication from Active directory. The only way to achieve what you want is to use some middleware web service that accepts the request using AAD authentication and calls the AX service directly or via IIS using Windows authentication.

Hi Gunjan,

Thanks for your Reply.

As this one is quite old approach as ACS is not supported by Microsoft. And we are maintaining user identity on Azure AD. We are not using ADFS to maintain identity of users.

Hi Ashok,

Have taken a look at hosting AX web services on Windows Azure service bus? You can check this link if this is what you are looking for.
