Authentication for Web Service Integrations Without Azure Client ID

Posted on by RFgenCT

Hello, this is about an arbitrary console application or .NET program,

I am looking for guidance on integrating with a cloud based BC environment (Specifically testing against the free demo environment Microsoft provides). I cannot get the basic authentication in HTTP request headers to work (failed credentials response), but I am reading this feature is being deprecated, so maybe I should not pursue basic authentication.

I read an alternative solution in this forum post, but I cannot create an Azure client ID and secret for the demo environment, right? I would need to be an Azure tenant admin for this environment, but I only have access to the environment URL, and various web service endpoint URLs.

Basically, can I integrate with the demo environment as is? Or do you have any examples of a complete HTTP request object including Content Type and Authorization values?

Thanks,

Hello,

Does it work with Postman for testing purposes?

Postman does not seem to work. Expecting to see the API list from this HTTP GET.

URL = businesscentral.dynamics.com/<mycompany.com>

Username = My login name (all lowercase of email before the @<mycompany.com>)

Password = Web Service Authentication Key

By the way I've switched to an Azure hosted VM for my environment. Still no luck with the authentication.

Hello,

It seems to work for me (still) with basic authentication:

Listing all endpoints:

api.businesscentral.dynamics.com/.../

Or

https://api.businesscentral.dynamics.com/v2.0/yourdomain.onmicrosoft.com/Production/api/v1.0/

Hope it helps.

Thanks.
