am trying to create a console application that connects to CRM 2016 (On Prem) using the 2016 SDK.
The below code fails. The conn.LastCrmError has the following details and the orgService is null.
Unable to Login to Dynamics CRMOrganizationWebProxyClient is null OrganizationServiceProxy is null OrganizationWebProxyClient is null OrganizationServiceProxy is null.
var connectionString = #"Url=http://xxxx/xxxx/; Username=xxxx; Password=xxxx;";
CrmServiceClient conn = new CrmServiceClient(connectionString);
IOrganizationService orgService = conn.OrganizationWebProxyClient != null ? (IOrganizationService)conn.OrganizationWebProxyClient : (IOrganizationService)conn.OrganizationServiceProxy;
The connection works when running old code, below, using the 2015 SDK
var connectionString = #"Url=http://wxxxxx/xxxx/; Username=xxxxx; Password=xxxxx;";
IOrganizationService orgService2 = new OrganizationService(CrmConnection.Parse(connectionString));
var results = orgService2.Execute(new WhoAmIRequest());
Any suggestions on how to resolve this?

This exception in most cases is thrown when you can't connect to CRM instance. Are you sure your connection string is ok? Here are connections strings described. Maybe lack of 'domain' attribute is the problem?

MS support resolution, by add this line in the code before you connect to CRM.
ServicePointManager.SecurityProtocol = (SecurityProtocolType)3072;
//need to add ref. System.Net dll
or
ServicePointManager.SecurityProtocol = SecurityProtocolType.Tls12;
You are missing the AuthType in the connection string:
AuthType=AD;

I have some integration code that intends to use the Organization Service via the CRM SDK.
On one environment, creating an IServiceManagement<IOrganizationService>:
IServiceManagement<IOrganizationService> orgServiceManagement = ServiceConfigurationFactory.CreateManagement<IOrganizationService>(new Uri("dynamics uri")));
and then authenticating with service account credentials:
AuthenticationCredentials authCredentials = new AuthenticationCredentials();
authCredentials.ClientCredentials.UserName.UserName = _config.GetValue<string>("Dynamics:Username");
authCredentials.ClientCredentials.UserName.Password = _config.GetValue<string>("Dynamics:Password");
AuthenticationCredentials tokenCredentials = orgServiceManagement.Authenticate(authCredentials);
works fine.
On another Dynamics environment, the call to GetServiceManagement fails with the following error message:
System.InvalidOperationException
HResult=0x80131509

POSTing to this URL in PostMan yields the HTML for a browser login page, which explains the failure; this isn't what the ServiceConfigurationFactory expects. The scenario is not user-interactive, so this would never make sense, there is no browser and no user able to interact with it.
What do I have to change in Dynamics CRM Online to stop it doing this, and make it just work normally?
Do you instantiate your OrganizationServiceProxy depending on the AuthenticationProviderType right after the lines of code you have posted? Like this
var orgServiceManagement = ServiceConfigurationFactory.CreateManagement<IOrganizationService>(new Uri(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["CrmUrlService"]));
var authCredentials = new AuthenticationCredentials();
authCredentials.ClientCredentials.UserName.UserName = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["CrmUserName"];
authCredentials.ClientCredentials.UserName.Password = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["CrmPassword"];
var tokenCredentials = orgServiceManagement.Authenticate(authCredentials);
IOrganizationService _service;
switch (orgServiceManagement.AuthenticationType)
{
case AuthenticationProviderType.ActiveDirectory:
_service = new OrganizationServiceProxy(orgServiceManagement, tokenCredentials.ClientCredentials);
break;
default:
_service = new OrganizationServiceProxy(orgServiceManagement, tokenCredentials.SecurityTokenResponse);
break;
}
Even if this solves your problem, I recommend that you use CrmServiceClient instead. This class can be found in Microsoft.Xrm.Tooling.Connector dll. It is the go to authentication class when building Windows client applications that connect to Microsoft Dynamics 365. More information on this can be found here
Here is an example on how to initialize CrmServiceClient when connecting to Dynamics 365 online using Office 365:
var myConnectionString = "Url=https://[YourOrganization].crm4.dynamics.com;Username=[YourUser];Password=[YourPassword];AuthType=Office365;";
var crmClient = new CrmServiceClient(myConnectionString);
//Do your stuff
var response = crmClient.Execute(new WhoAmIRequest());
If you need other authentication methods in Dynamics Online check how to build your connection string here.
For on-premises check how to build your connection string here.
I've got the following code to connect to Dynamics 365 Online organization. It throws a null reference exception on orgService.Execute(new WhoAmIRequest()); and error log is below the code. I've tried this on two machines with different console apps. I've tried both the 8.2 and 8.0 SDK DLLs. If I rewrite this using CrmConnection with the 7.x SDK DLLs everything works fine. I can browse to the organization using the same credentials (cut & pasted to be sure there is not a typo.)
The connection string format is taken from the example at https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/mt608573.aspx:
Named account using Office 365
<add name="MyCRMServer"
-connectionString="AuthType=Office365;Username=jsmith#contoso.onmicrosoft.com;
Password=passcode;Url=https://contoso.crm.dynamics.com"/>
The basic code.
var connectionString = #"Url=https://ORGNAME.crm.dynamics.com; Username=username#ORGNAME.onmicrosoft.com; Password=43JF##$j##Ha; Authype=Office365;";
var client = new CrmServiceClient(connectionString);
var orgService = (IOrganizationService)client.OrganizationWebProxyClient ?? client.OrganizationServiceProxy;
orgService.Execute(new WhoAmIRequest());

As per latest Microsoft recommendation we are not supposed to use “AuthType=Office365”.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/developer/common-data-service/authenticate-office365-deprecation
We can use Application Account (Client ID & Secret Key) to generate Token & access Dynamics CRM Organization Service. But if you want to use User ID & PWD then Use (AuthType = OAuth)
Sample Code :
string connectionString = "AuthType = OAuth; Url = 'https://*****.crm.dynamics.com'; Username = '*******'; Password = '*******'; AppId = 51f81489-12ee-4a9e-aaae-a2591f45987d; RedirectUri = app://58145B91-0C36-4500-8554-080854F2AC97;LoginPrompt=Never";
ServicePointManager.SecurityProtocol = SecurityProtocolType.Tls12;
CrmServiceClient crmServiceClient = new CrmServiceClient(connectionString);
WhoAmIResponse whoAmIResponse = crmServiceClient.Execute(new WhoAmIRequest()) as WhoAmIResponse;
Note : While trying to use this from Azure Function I got below errors :
ERROR REQUESTING Token FROM THE Authentication contextNeed a non-empty authority
One or more errors occurred. => An error occurred while sending the request. => The underlying connection was closed: An unexpected error occurred on a send. => Unable to read data from the transport connection: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host. => An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote hostERROR REQUESTING Token FROM THE Authentication context
CurrentAccessToken = 'crmServiceClient.CurrentAccessToken' threw an exception of type 'System.NullReferenceException'
Easily you can resolve these using just one additional line : ServicePointManager.SecurityProtocol = SecurityProtocolType.Tls12;

Have you tried passing the parameters directly to the CrmServiceClient instead of the connection string?
I can connect successfully to Dynamics365 by using this following method
public CrmServiceClient(string crmUserId, SecureString crmPassword, string crmRegion, string orgName, bool useUniqueInstance = false, bool useSsl = false, OrganizationDetail orgDetail = null, bool isOffice365 = false);
And here's how I applied
var pwd = ConvertToSecureString("userpassword");
CrmServiceClient client = new CrmServiceClient("user#mail.com", pwd, "NorthAmerica", "orgname", isOffice365: true);
And here's the method to convert the password to secure string
private System.Security.SecureString ConvertToSecureString(string password)
{
if (password == null)
throw new ArgumentNullException("missing pwd");
var securePassword = new System.Security.SecureString();
foreach (char c in password)
securePassword.AppendChar(c);
securePassword.MakeReadOnly();
return securePassword;
}
I was getting error
Unable to login to Dynamics CRM, Error was :
Data[0] = "The provided uri did not return any Service Endpoints!
I received this error when attempting to connect to Dynamics using a connection string with AuthType=ClientSecret. Previously I was connecting successfully using username and password with a connection string of the form
"Url={dynamicsConnectionString};Username={username};Password={password};AuthType=Office365;"
The connection string was changed to have the form
"AuthType=ClientSecret;RequireNewInstance=false;Url={CrmDynamicsPrivatePrimaryConnection};ClientId={CrmDynamicsPrivateClientId};ClientSecret={CrmDynamicsPrivateClientSecret};LoginPrompt=Never;"
The error occurred because I was using an outdated version of Microsoft.CrmSdk.XrmTooling.CoreAssembly. I was using version 9.0.2.27, and according to a web report, version 9.1.0.13 is needed for connecting with ClientSecret. I updated to version 9.1.0.68 using NuGet, and the Dynamics connection worked.
I was struggling on fixing this issue because everything I did except installing higher version (On MS docs also They didn't mentioned this) of Microsoft.CrmSdk.XrmTooling.CoreAssembly since lower version of this dll doesn't support ClientSecret authentiation.
I'm doing a bit of a technical investigation into the ExecuteTransactionRequest. It's not something I've ever used before so I knocked up a very quick experiment just to see how it works. However, when sending off the request the OrganizationService is throwing back a FaultException (below). What I believe is happening is that my version of CRM doesn't support that OrganizationRequest. Although I'm pretty sure I have the right assemblies and version.
Can anyone please shed some light on what I'm missing?
CRM Deployment Version: 7.0.1.129
Organization Version: 7.0.2.53
Microsoft.Xrm Assembly Version: 7.0.0.0 (Also happened with 8.0.0.0)

Update
Quick look at your code, looked like it was because of the CreateRequest not being added to the collection. After your comments and double checking the crm organization version, you are on CRM 2015 (not on update 1). ExecuteTransactionRequest is only supported by CRM 2015 update 1 (version 7.1.XXX) and up (version 8.0.XXX) organizations. So unfortunately, your query won't work until at least the 2015 update is applied to the organization.
You did not add your create request to the ExecuteTransactionRequest - Requests collection. An empty request collection is causing the exceptions most likely.
ExecuteTransactionRequest transactionRequest = new ExecuteTransactionRequest()
{
ReturnResponses = true,
Requests = new OrganizationRequestCollection()
};
Entity newContact = new Entity("contact");
newContact["firstname"] = "Stack";
newContact["lastname"] = "Overflow";
CreateRequest createRequest = new CreateRequest()
{
Target = newContact
};
transactionRequest.Requests.Add(createRequest); //missing
ExecuteTransactionResponse transactionResponse = (ExecuteTransactionResponse)orgService.Execute(transactionRequest);
I am trying to create a web from (web application) in Visual Studio 2012 to push data into CRM 2015 online. It keep saying Metadata Contains A Reference That Cannot Be Resolved, when the program tried to call OrgService.
Before that, I create a windows form to do so, it works fine. It can connect to CRM 2015 online and create a new entity record successfully. But when I move the code to Web Application. I does not work.
Code:
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
ClientCredentials cre = new ClientCredentials();
cre.UserName.UserName = "MyEmailAddress";
cre.UserName.Password = "Password";
Uri serviceUri = new Uri("https://QA.crm.dynamics.com/XRMServices/2011/Organization.svc");
OrganizationServiceProxy proxy = new OrganizationServiceProxy(serviceUri, null, cre, null);//Error occurs here!!!!!!
proxy.EnableProxyTypes();
IOrganizationService service = (IOrganizationService)proxy;
Entity contact = new Entity("contact");
contact["firstname"] = Convert.ToString(firstname.Text);
contact["lastname"] = Convert.ToString(lastname.Text);
contact["emailaddress1"] = Convert.ToString(email.Text);
contact["mobilephone"] = Convert.ToString(phone.Text);
proxy.Create(contact);
}
Error occurs at:
OrganizationServiceProxy proxy = new OrganizationServiceProxy(serviceUri, null, cre, null);
Is there anyone know what is going on here? I appreciate your help.
Thanks.
Try to use following code for initialization of service proxy:
IServiceManagement<IOrganizationService> orgServiceManagement =
ServiceConfigurationFactory.CreateManagement<IOrganizationService>(new Uri("https://democrm.api.crm5.dynamics.com/XRMServices/2011/Organization.svc"));
AuthenticationCredentials authCredentials = new AuthenticationCredentials();
authCredentials.ClientCredentials.UserName.UserName = _userName;
authCredentials.ClientCredentials.UserName.Password = _password;
AuthenticationCredentials tokenCredentials = orgServiceManagement.Authenticate(authCredentials);
IOrganizationService organizationProxy = new OrganizationServiceProxy(orgServiceManagement, tokenCredentials.SecurityTokenResponse);
I am running this code (with names and security details obscured). When I do, I get 401 unauthorised. The credentials are that of the user on the hosted server. Is this possible against an IFD system?
var token = new CrmAuthenticationToken();
token.AuthenticationType = 0;
token.OrganizationName = "myorganisation";
CrmService service = new CrmService();
service.Url = "https://myorganisation.dynamicsgateway.com/mscrmservices/2007/crmservice.asmx";
service.CrmAuthenticationTokenValue = token;
service.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("bob.smith", "Password", "HOSTEDCRM");
var request = new RetrieveMultipleRequest();
request.Query = new QueryExpression
{
ColumnSet = new ColumnSet(new string[] { "name" }),
EntityName = "account"
};
var response = service.Execute(request);
I assume this code is outside of the CRM Website? In that case you'll want to add a reference to the discovery service as Mercure points out above. You'll want to execute a RetrieveCrmTicketRequest against the discovery service to get a ticket good for connecting to the Crm Services.
In your CRM Authentication Token you'll want to set the authentication type to 2 (IFD). Then set the CrmTicket property on the token to the ticket you got from your RetrieveCrmTicketResponse.
I also set the URL based on that response, but you could continue to hard code it.
You will want to continue to set the Credentials on the service.
I use a single user to connect to CRM and cache that ticket (an expiration date is in the response from the discovery service). That way I can bypass the discovery service on future requests. There is an error code to look for to go after the ticket again, but I don't have it off hand.
Yes, it's possible, you are only missing a little pieces, the CrmAuthenticationToken.ExtractCrmAuthenticationToken.
