Dynamics 365 Plugin Registration Tool gives permission error - dynamics-crm

When I try to connect to Dynamics 365 CRM with the Plugin Registration Tool I get the following permission error:
"You don't have permission to access any of the organizations in the
Microsoft Common Data Service region that you specified. If you're not
sure which region your organization resides in, choose "Don't know"
for the CDS region and try again. Otherwise check with your CDS
administrator. Parameter name: EMEA"
I have the System Administrator role
I can sign-in to the web interface and work with no issues
I'm sure of our region, tried to login with and without it ("Don't know" option)
Also tried with an application password as our organization uses multi factor authentication
Using the latest version of the tool on Nuget (9.0.0.9506 in the about dialog)
I can connect to my trial server the same way
We had a user who was able to connect with the same user roles set
This seems machine and account independent. Other users including the organization creator are getting the same error
We are directly connected to the internet, no proxies
One solution I've read suggested cleaning the cache files which don't appear on my system. And we get the same error on clean installations.

Solved by leaving the "Show Advanced" checkbox unchecked and not entering User ID / Password. Then a second dialog opens for credentials and 2FA authentication which just works.
You don't need an application password, as you'll be asked for MFA in the next step.
I don't know how our old teammate was able to sign in with the "Show Advanced" option selected. He was getting the same dialog and continue.

Why can't I login to gitlab on visual studio after signing up with email?

I just created a GitLab account, I signed up by using the "Using google" option, and it just prompted me for my gmail credentials. The email in question is a company email I was given by my administrators.
When I wanted to use these credentials in Visual Studio, it asked me with this screen for my credentials:
I entered my company email and its password, but I received this error from Visual Studio:
Fetching from origin
Remote: HTTP Basic: Access denied
Error encountered while fetching: Git failed with a fatal error.
Authentication failed for 'https://gitlab.com/xxxxxxx/xxxxx/xxxxxxx.git/
I wanted to make sure the credentials were properly set, so I went to gitlab page and signed out. When trying to sign in, same thing happens. I am allowed to sign in to gitlab if I use "Using google" option, but not via email + password.
Is this a problem?, do you know any workaround I could use to sing into my gitlab account within Visual Studio?
When you created your account, it's bound to your google credentials. You can see it's connected by clicking on your profile icon in the upper right corner and clicking "Preferences > Account". Under Social Sign-in, you'll see that the google button now shows "Disconnect Google". When you do this, GitLab does not assign you a username by default (honestly, it may now, but it didn't when I created my account several years ago). However, you can change your username on that same "Preferences > Account" page under the "Change username" heading, so go ahead and assign yourself one if you don't have one there. If you already have one, go ahead and take note of that.
Once you have your username, you can likely authenticate using an access token instead of a password. Create an access token under "Preferences > Access Token" and assign the privileges you want depending on what you are going to do with VS.
If you really want to use a password instead (or if the VS plugin doesn't work with an access token), you can set a password under "Preferences > Password", and use that instead.
Hopefully this helps!

Use this token as password for you enter to the form what you seen.

Unable to add hotmail/outlook user in Visual Studio Team Services

I am trying to add user having Hotmail account but team foundation showing following error.
Can anybody please tell me that how can I add another user in VSTS?
No identities found.
Depends on how your account was set up. If it's Microsoft Account based (LiveID/Outlook.com/Hotmail), then you need to navigate to the account level users hub first.
https://{{account}}.visualstudio.com/_admin/_users
If your account is Azure Active Directory backed, then you need to import these users into Azure Active Directory first, then add them at the account level before being able to add them to a security group.

Dynamics 365 unexpected error

When creating a case I get the below error.
Access Error The system could not log you on. This could be because
your user record or the business unit you belong to has been disabled
in Microsoft Dynamics 365. If you contact support, please provide the
technical details.
This occurred shortly after deleting the CRM Admin user and creating a new CRM Admin user in the Office 365 users screen.
The more technical message is
The user with
SystemUserId=bb51ba1c-66e8-4dc1-82ca-cb64e25f3ff9 in
OrganizationContext=7e061672-3a31-4588-9770-9f94711c7f09 is
disabledDetail.
The error message is saying that the user with that ID is disabled so the first thing to do would be to open that record and check which user it is.
To do that, use the URL below but replace the xx's and the yourregion part of the url (I've already added your user id).
https://xxxxxxxx.yourregion.dynamics.com/main.aspx?etc=8&extraqs=&histKey=952109180&id={bb51ba1c-66e8-4dc1-82ca-cb64e25f3ff9}&newWindow=true&pagetype=entityrecord
You will then need to enable that user or resolve problems from there.
I would also check that you don't have any plugins or workflows which have been setup to run as that user when creating a case.

How to log off in the dynamic crm

I log in the dynamic CRM and I want to use a another account to log in again. How to log off the CRM system?? I have cleaned the cookies and it doesn't work.How to do it?
If you are using CRM Online, you can use the "Sign Out" link in upper right hand corner of the page.
If you are running On Premise you will have to take a few extra steps as CRM is looking for your Active Directory credentials. An easy way would be to change the security settings in Internet Explorer so that you are prompted to enter credentials.
Security Settings -> Local Intranet -> Custom Level - Uncheck Automatic login with current username and password
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/892666
For those using Safari for OSX login to Dynamics CRM on Premise, if you didn't use Keychain to store password for this site, you will clear the connection when you turn off Safari.
But if you use Keychain to store, you need to use Keychain Access and manually remove password related to Dynamics CRM. Then turn off your browser. You authentication cookie will be killed. When you reopen Safari and browse Dynamics CRM, if will prompt and ask for password again.

Magento + PayPal Sandbox

So, recently PayPal switched from sandbox.paypal to developer.paypal interface. It is still in beta mode, so it's not working perfectly, and on the other hand sandbox is practically disabled, you can not register nor login with old credentials.
So, when trying to make a test system in Magento, I create one seller account and one buyer account in new developer.paypal interface, but when I try to make a purchase it keeps showing me the wrong login/pass error (I enter the seller account e-mail and password).
Before all this I remember I had to be logged in the sandbox.paypal with my main sandbox account for this to work, but now login to sandbox is not possible any more, and login to developer doesn't help.
Anyone had similar issues? I tried anywhere to find any clue for solution, but no luck, and I don't waiting for PayPal to complete their test environment is an option.
I haven't had the same issue however have you imported your old accounts? That way you can use the same test email addresses and passwords as before.
Log into https://developer.paypal.com
Click Applications
Click Sandbox accounts
Click "Import data"
Enter your email address and password for the old developer account.
All settings for the prior accounts should be imported as well. Sandbox.paypal.com is still accessible too, you do need to be logged into your developer account to access it which is the same condition as before.
If you continue receiving a password error trying resetting the password to the accounts by following the steps below:
Log into https://developer.paypal.com
Click Applications
Click Sandbox accounts
Expand the account in question
Click "Profile"
Click "Change Password"
Lastly, you'll also want to delete all developer.paypal.com cookies and cache before using the beta environment. If you do not, you'll see the error message below:
"This Sandbox email address is not available. Please enter another email address."
Let me know if you continue to receive errors.
