Authentication method for Web based Mobile Apps using Dynamics AX Custom Services?

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Mike Land 900

Hello, I have build an ASP.NET MVC 5 based Responsive Application with HTML5, Bootstrap and jQuery so it should run in many kind of devices. Application runs in IIS and uses AX's Custom Services. But what comes to Authentication against AX 2012 I don't quite know what technique would be best. Application is still a Web Application so should it still used Authentication methods that ordinary Web Applications do? I think maybe.

Can anyone suggest me some Authentications methods to this Web Application vs. AX Custom Service case? Like to hear from your experiences,

Best Regards,

Michael

    Hi Mike, you can use on summary:

    - Concept of trusted intermediary (create claims user into AX )

    - add Claims user created and other Domain user into Ax custom service  by Inbound port Form, button Trusted Intermediary users.

    - Into Web.Confi file you need to add claim user.

    <client>

         <endpoint address="net.tcp://InstanceName:8201/DynamicsAx/Services/CustomService" binding="netTcpBinding" bindingConfiguration="NetTcpBinding_ServiceName" contract="InvernegReference.ServiceName" name="NetTcpBinding_ServiceName">

           <identity>

             <userPrincipalName value="ClaimUserName@DomainComapany.com" />

           </identity>

         </endpoint>

       </client>

    - Setup IIS pool application authentication properties and link the DOMAIN USER added into Trusted Intermediary users

    In this way I can work with my web mobile app and AX 2012 R2.

    Hi,

    I think the authentication method to choose depends if your web users have accounts in Active Directory or not. Probably you will have to implement claims based authentication (like the SharePoint based AX Enterprise Portal is using)

    p.s.

    Sorry, Martin is absolutely right, if you are asking how to authenticate against the WCF service (AX Custom Service) then forget my post :)

    BR,

    Are you talking about authenticating the web server or individual users using your application?
