Dynamics 365 Outlook app For Dynamics 365 OnPremise

Hi All

How to integrate Dynamics 365 Outlook app For Dynamics 365 On Premise system?

Is there any step by step manual available?

Is it possible id d365 is not IFD enabled?

Minimum Requirements

Dynamics 365 with IFD
Dynamics 365 Update 2.2
Minimum ADFS 3.x due to OAuth endpoint
Minimum Exchange 2016 or 2013 with Cumulative Update 14 or greater
Office 2016 (recommended) although Office 2013 also works fine

CRM Exchange Setup

Connect Dynamics 365 (on-premises) to Exchange Server (on-premises) | Microsoft Docs

CRM OAuth Configuration
The Dynamics Outlook requires OAuth configuration, on the CRM server execute the following PowerShell commands:

$ClaimsSettings = Get-CrmSetting -SettingType OAuthClaimsSettings
$ClaimsSettings.Enabled = $true
Set-CrmSetting -Setting $ClaimsSettings

ADFS Configuration
We need to ensure the Outlook App ID is registered with ADFS to allow OAuth authentication to succeed.

First we need to retrieve the Outlook APP ID from CRM, you can access this information on the Settings Menu > Dynamics 365 App for Outlook

you will see the following screen:

Run the following command on the ADFS server:

Add-AdfsClient -ClientId YOUR_ID -Name "Dynamics CRM Outlook Client" -RedirectUri my_CRM_domain/.../code_auth.aspx

ADFS 4.x (windows server 2016)
If you are using ADFS with Windows server 2016, in addition to the above steps, you also need to grant permissions to the Outlook App, please run the following command in powershell:

Please note the domain used here, is the IFD authentication CRM URL, usually named authcrm.domain

Grant-AdfsApplicationPermission -ClientRoleIdentifier YOUR_APP_ID -ServerRoleIdentifier "authcrm.domain.com” -ScopeNames openid

ADFS Authentication Providers
Forms based authentication is required to be enabled on the intranet zone. Open the ADFS management wizard.

Click Authentication Policies > Primary Authentication > Global Settings > Authentication Methods > Edit.

Click Forms Authentication on the Intranet zone.
