Cannot connect Microsoft Dynamics 365 Developer Toolkit to CRM

Posted on by JamesNWarner 35

Hi all,

I've installed the Dynamics 365 Developer Toolkit extension into Visual Studio 2017.

I'm now trying to connect to our On-premises CRM, but the extension keeps erroring at me.

I provide the server URL using 'discover.***.net' and I provide a username and password. (Screenshot below)

This, in turn, provides me with a list of organizations. I select the organization I would like, and click 'Login'. (Screenshot below)

Screen-Shot-2018_2D00_04_2D00_16-at-15.57.10.png

In doing so, I receive an error. Looking at the log, there appears to be a bug.

Microsoft.Xrm.Tooling.Connector.CrmServiceClient Verbose: 16 :    ==>DiscoveryServer indicated organization service location = https://raspberry2016.***.net/XRMServices/2011/Organization.svc

Microsoft.Xrm.Tooling.Connector.CrmServiceClient Information: 8 :    ==>Organization Service URI is = https://discover.***.net/XRMServices/2011/Organization.svc

Microsoft.Xrm.Tooling.Connector.CrmServiceClient Information: 8 :    ==>ConnectAndInitCrmOrgService - Initializing Organization Service Object

Microsoft.Xrm.Tooling.Connector.CrmServiceClient Information: 8 :    ==>ConnectAndInitCrmOrgService - Requesting connection to Org with CRM Version: 8.1.1.1005

Microsoft.Xrm.Tooling.Connector.CrmServiceClient Information: 8 :    ==>ConnectAndInitCrmOrgService - Using ISerivceManagement

Microsoft.Xrm.Tooling.Connector.CrmServiceClient Verbose: 16 :    ==>ConnectAndInitCrmOrgService - attempting to connect to CRM server @ https://discover.***.net/XRMServices/2011/Organization.svc

Microsoft.Xrm.Tooling.Connector.CrmServiceClient Error: 2 :    ==>Source : System.ServiceModel

The log shows that it recognizes the correct organization service from the discovery server (https://raspberry2016.***.net/XRMServices/2011/Organization.svc) but then uses the wrong one to try and connect (https://discover.***.net/XRMServices/2011/Organization.svc).

Does anyone have a solution for this?

Thanks,

James

    Hi,

    Do you have IFD enabled? If yes, then you need to select the Authentication Source as IFD.

    Hope this helps.

    Hi Ravi,

    To be honest, I'm not sure if I have it enabled or not. Do you know how I could check?

    In any case, the tool fails whether the 'Authentication Source' is set to 'IFD' or 'Active Directory'.

    Thanks,

    James

    Hi James,

    To rule out the issue with developer toolkit, can you try connecting to plugin registration tool and see if this works? You can download the sdk here: www.microsoft.com/.../details.aspx

    Once downloaded, you can see the plugin registration tool under sdk>> tools>> plugin registration.

    The credential you are providing are the ones which you use to access crm organization?

    Hi Ravi,

    I have the exact same issue with the plugin registration tool included in the Dynamics 365 SDK. However if I use the plugin registration tool from the Dynamics 2011 SDK, I can connect.

    I'm not too sure if that information is helpful or not.

    Thanks,

    James

    So 2011 PLT working fine but not the latest one. This is strange.

    Are you using the same value (server, org, credential) in both 2011 & latest?

    Hi Ravi,

    CRM 2011 Plugin Registration Tools asks me for a 'Label', 'Discovery URL' and 'User Name'. I then connect and it asks for a password, which I provide. I then see all my organizations and I can register plugins with them.

    The CRM 365 Plugin Registration Tool asks me for much more information. When I enter the same to the best of my ability (see screenshot in the original post), I cannot connect.

    Thanks,

    James

    Any ideas for this issue? I have the same problem.

    I have two organisations on same server. One uses IFD and i reach app through port 444, and another is accessible through 5555. I can not connect Dynamics 365 Developer Toolkit on any of these databases no matter what kind of Authentication Source I am using.

    When I enter wrong parameters, I receive an error (it works as it should). Otherwise it turns me back on connecting screen every time.
