I have received this mail for the third time this year and I have no idea what is the meaning of it. I dont know if our organization uses this ACS or if yes, how we use it, and I dont know how to fix it by making the necessary changes! If anyone could help on this I would very much appreciate it!
Here is the email received from Microsoft:
Action Required – Time-sensitive: Important Information About Your Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online Service |
To: Burim Syla For organization: fondenmdrehjlpenkommunikations (https://fondenmdrehjlpenkommunikations.crm4.dynamics.com) |
| We have detected an issue on your CRM online instance that we need your help to resolve. Action is required before August 15, 2018 to ensure your current CRM client component(s) that are installed in your environment using ACS for authentication will continue to run as expected. Description of the issue: Our internal monitoring and telemetry systems have determined there are client components authenticating to your Dynamics CRM service using Access Control Service (ACS). Mitigation steps must be taken before August 15, 2018 to ensure your connected components currently using ACS for authentication will continue to function as expected without failures. We highly recommend you to take action prior to this date. Please review each scenario given in the “Action to be taken” section and take appropriate action to update to a later version of the Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk.dll which does not rely on ACS authentication. What is ACS? Windows Azure AppFabric Access Control Service (ACS) is a way to provide identity and access control to web applications and services while integrating with standards-based identity providers. Risk of not taking action: Post August 15, 2018, any client component that are authenticating using ACS will start failing to connect. This impact is only to the client components. The Dynamics CRM Online service will continue to function. Please check the Action to be taken section to know the list of client components. Action to be taken: Based on our telemetry, we identified that one or more of your client components are still accessing ACS for authentication. Please review each scenario and see if you are using any of them. If so, please perform the appropriate mitigation steps given.
For additional information see the video for more detail or refer to the blog post. Please contact the Dynamics 365 Customer Experience Team with any questions or help needed to resolve the issue at *** Email address is removed for privacy ***. Note: If you have developed Plugins, Custom Reports, or ISV applications imported as solutions to run in CRM online server they are not impacted with ACS as they run in CRM Server Context.

Thank you in advance !

I have the same question (0)Hi Burim,
Did you check my response here? https://community.dynamics.com/crm/f/117/t/288233
You need to find out the registered endpoint and then see if these are in use or not. Sometime just by the name of the endpoints you can work out what functionality it is invloced in and if you are still using the functionality or not.
In my case it was related to some third party solution which I was not using so I deleted the endpoints.
Hope this helps.
