Certificate Error when trying to Configure SSS on CRM on-premises for Exchange Online

Posted on by 45

I'm using this article learn.microsoft.com/.../mt703269(v=crm.8) for configuring CRM on-premise server based authentication a.k.a SSS (Server Side Sync) to Exchange Online.

Under the section: Set up server-based authentication, Step 2 the first part of the command works fine.

Command:

$CertificateScriptWithCommand = “.\CertificateReconfiguration.ps1 -certificateFile c:\cert.pfx -password mypasswordhere -updateCrm -certificateType S2STokenIssuer -serviceAccount domain\serviceaccount -storeFindType FindBySubjectDistinguishedName”

It's the second part that fails with the error.

Command: Invoke-Expression -command $CertificateScriptWithCommand
Error:

D:\Program Files\Microsoft Dynamics CRM\tools\CertificateReconfiguration.ps1 : Cannot bind argument to parameter 'password' because it is an empty string.

Any ideas on what I need to investigate to resolve this problem would be greatly appreciated...thanks

I tried various things I found online such as:

- granting service account access to certificate private key
- granting service account local security policies for log on as a service and log on as a batch job
- granting service account local administrator on CRM server

    I figured it out and got passed this one.  Turns out within the script itself I noticed it was using the character of "$" in front of the entries for password, etc. so I replaced the command that I ran in PowerShell to use the $ character and also added quotes for the password such as 'passwordhere' instead of just the password and that was based on other observations, so not sure if that in addition helped solve this but it's solved none the less.
