AX 2012 on Azure and Web APP integration

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Community Member

Currently, we have an AX2012 R3 environment that uses a service that communicates with a web app. In the future, we are going to be hosting both AX on an Azure VM, and the web app on Azure as well. Is it necessary to host the service on the IIS? I assume so since it will need to be accessed from an external domain.

I have followed the below article https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg731848.aspx and managed to host the service on IIS. On my local machine, I can access the environment without any problems. However, when I get to connect from a different machine, I get a server error in the browser. Additionally, I have also tried adding the WSDL as a service reference in visual studio, and I am promted for a username and password. Unfortunately, the credentials I provide are incorrect (and I have always used the same credentials), so I cannot add the reference.

Any ideas on how to solve this and a suggested way forward?

    It's not necessarily related to where you applications are deployed, such as if some are in Azure. With proper setup (VPN, AD), you could still use net.tcp and Windows authentication.

    But "it will need to be accessed from an external domain" likely changes the question. Can you tell us more about your setup, such as if there is any trust between those domains and if not, how do you intend to handle authentication (if you mean AD domains)?

    In regards to authentication, we are currently using a proxy user and windows authentication. If this is possible to setup up with a VPN connection, I think that would be easier to implement. If you have any articles or blog posts that are related that would be of great help.

    Thanks,

    You can find probably thousand articles "related to" these topics, but that's too vague question to be helpful. You'll have to think of the specific problem you need help with.

    Maybe Integrate your app with an Azure Virtual Network is something you'll be looking for.
