CRM 2013: Outlook CRM Client Authentication error

Some users might go crazy configuring the CRM Outlook Client for CRM Online getting the following error:

Error connecting to URL: https://company.crm4.dynamics.com/XRMServices/2011/Discovery.svc Exception: Microsoft.Crm.CrmException: Logon failed because credentials are invalid ---> Microsoft.Crm.Passport.IdCrl.IdCrlException: LogonIdentityExWithUI()
   bei Microsoft.Crm.Passport.IdCrl.FederationLogOnManager.LogonPassport(String policy, String partner, LOGON_FLAG logonFlag)
   bei Microsoft.Crm.Passport.IdCrl.FederationLogOnManager.Logon(String userName, String password, String partner, String policy, String& memberName)
   bei Microsoft.Crm.Outlook.ClientAuth.PassportAuthProvider`1.SignIn()
   --- Ende der internen Ausnahmestapelüberwachung ---
   bei Microsoft.Crm.Outlook.ClientAuth.ClientAuthProvidersFactory`1.RetrieveUserCredentialsAndSignIn(Uri endPoint, Credential credentials, Form parentWindow, Boolean retryOnError, IClientOrganizationContext context)
   bei Microsoft.Crm.Outlook.ClientAuth.ClientAuthProvidersFactory`1.SignIn(Uri endPoint, Credential credentials, AuthUIMode uiMode, IClientOrganizationContext context, Form parentWindow, Boolean retryOnError)
   bei Microsoft.Crm.Application.Outlook.Config.DeploymentsInfo.DeploymentInfo.LoadOrganizations(AuthUIMode uiMode, Form parentWindow, Credential credentials)



When the users tries to use the CRM Outlook Client configuration wizard in order to setup his organization and enters the URL of the CRM Online instance directly in the Server-URL field in the config wizard (e.g. https://company.crm4.dynamics.com) he will most likely get the error you can see above.

The error here is that the users needs to select the Server-Url drop down and choose CRM Online from there. After doing so the authentication may be successfull now.

Yet Another Address Autocomplete PCF Control–powered by Bing

In this blog post I will not go into detail in how to install all the pre-requisites that are required to build and run PCF controls. My goal was to build a new PCF control and get into coding of PCF controls as fast as possible. Here are a few links to articles that will help you installing the pre-requisites (Microsoft PowerApps CLI)  https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/developer/component-framework/get-powerapps-cli Other good references to get into this topic: https://toddbaginski.com/blog/how-to-create-a-powerapps-pcf-control/ https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/developer/component-framework/create-custom-controls-using-pcf I looked through the Guido Preite’s https://pcf.gallery/ which will help you find appropriate use cases / examples for your own needs. It did not take very long to find a simple example to start with: Andrew Butenko's https://pcf.gallery/address-autocomplete/ A few moments later I had the idea to create yet another address autocomplete...

Regarding SPFieldMultiLineText (Add HTML/URL content to a field) programmatically

I recently tried so set some HTML content in a SharePoint list column of type SPFieldMultiLineText. My first approach was this piece of code: SPFieldMultiLineText field = item.Fields.GetFieldByInternalName( "Associated Documents" ) as SPFieldMultiLineText; StringBuilder docList = new StringBuilder(); docList.Append( " " ); foreach (DataRow docRow in addDocs) { DataRow[] parent = dr.Table.DataSet.Tables[0].Select( "DOK_ID=" + docRow[ "DOK_MGD_ID" ].ToString()); if (parent != null && parent.Length > 0) { docList.AppendFormat( " {1} " , parent[0][ "FilePath" ].ToString(), parent[0][ "Title" ].ToString()); } } if (docList.Length > 0) { // remove trailing tag docList.Remove(docList.Length-5, 5); } docList.Append( " " ); string newValue = docList.ToString(); item[field.Title] = newValue; What this code does is to get all associated documents to the main document and to add these docu...

XrmToolBox: AutoNumberUpdater - new StateCode filter

Mayank Pujara's AutoNumberUpdater plugin for the XrmToolBox is a great tool to add missing auto number values to an auto number field for an entity/table. In his blog you can find more details about the original version of his plugin: https://mayankp.wordpress.com/2021/12/09/xrmtoolbox-autonumberupdater-new-tool/ For my purposes I had to update accounts with missing account numbers, but in my use case this should only be done for those accounts that have the status value "Active".   As this plugin did not have this feature I quickly implemented it and Mayank merged my changes to his plugin source code. You can download the new version 1.2024.0.1 in the Tool Library of the XrmToolBox.
