This topic applies to customers who access Microsoft Dynamics 365 (online) through the Microsoft Online Services environment. There are multiple Microsoft Dynamics 365 (online) identity providers that must be accounted for when you develop an application that connects to the Organization or Discovery web services. These providers can be identified as managed domain, federated, and Microsoft account. This topic focuses on Microsoft Dynamics 365 (online) web service authentication with managed domain and federated identity providers, although the same classes and code shown here also work with all supported identity providers and Microsoft Dynamics 365 deployment types.

Use the simplified authentication classes

You can use the OrganizationServiceProxy and DiscoveryServiceProxy classes when authenticating with the web services. For more information about using these proxy classes see Authentication by using the client proxy classes.

Another authentication approach uses the CrmConnection class. With just a few lines of code, your application can authenticate with the web services and start calling web methods. For more information about the CrmConnection class, see Simplified connection to Microsoft Dynamics CRM. Sample code is available in the Sample: Simplified connection quick start using Microsoft Dynamics CRM topic.

CrmConnection connection = CrmConnection.Parse (connectionString);
using ( OrganizationService orgService = new OrganizationService(connection)) { }

Another authentication approach is to use the helper source code provided in the SDK. The ServerConnection helper class, shown in the Helper code: ServerConnection class topic, provides GetOrganizationProxy and GetProxy methods for authentication. If you look at the source code for ServerConnection, you will see that GetOrganizationProxy actually calls GetProxy.

using ( OrganizationServiceProxy orgServiceProxy = ServerConnection.GetOrganizationProxy(serverConfig) ) { }

You must create these organization or discovery service proxy objects in a using statement to correctly dispose of the service proxy, or call Dispose directly. For sample code that uses the GetOrganizationProxy helper code method, see Sample: Quick start for Microsoft Dynamics 365.

The complete list of authentication classes available in the Microsoft Dynamics 365 SDK is shown in the Authentication classes section.

Authenticate Microsoft account users with Office 365

Your application needs to support those Microsoft Dynamics 365 (online) users whose organization is transitioned from the Microsoft account identity provider to the Microsoft Online Services identity provider. In this scenario, users may provide their Microsoft account sign-in credentials when they authenticate with the Microsoft Online Services identity provider of Microsoft Dynamics 365 (online).

To do this, pass the populated credentials in the OrganizationServiceProxy constructor or the Authenticate method of the IServiceManagement class. The credential values are populated as follows:

AuthenticationCredentials.ClientCredentials = <Microsoft account sign-in credentials>
AuthenticationCredentials.SupportingCredentials.ClientCredentials = <device credentials>

You can obtain the device credentials by using one of the public methods, for example LoadOrRegister, in the DeviceIdManager helper code. For more information see Helper code: DeviceIdManager class.

If your code checks the identity provider type to determine how to authenticate, then additional code is required. See the GetCredentials method in the next section for sample code that supports transitioned Microsoft account users.

For more information about this transition, see Microsoft Dynamics 365 (online) Integration with Office 365.

Authentication deep dive

The previous discussion introduced two simple approaches that can be used to authenticate a user with the Microsoft Dynamics 365 web services. The following information shows how to authenticate a user by using the IServiceManagement<TService> class and includes the source code to the GetProxy method. To see the complete sample that contains the following examples, see Sample: Authenticate users with Microsoft Dynamics 365 web services. You will notice that authentication at this level takes a lot more code.

The following sample code demonstrates the classes and methods that you can use in your application to authenticate an Office 365/MOS user using the Microsoft Dynamics 365 (online) web services.


IServiceManagement<IOrganizationService> orgServiceManagement =
    ServiceConfigurationFactory.CreateManagement<IOrganizationService>(
    new Uri(organizationUri));

// Set the credentials.
AuthenticationCredentials credentials = GetCredentials(orgServiceManagement, endpointType);

// Get the organization service proxy.
using (OrganizationServiceProxy organizationProxy =
    GetProxy<IOrganizationService, OrganizationServiceProxy>(orgServiceManagement, credentials))
{
    // This statement is required to enable early-bound type support.
    organizationProxy.EnableProxyTypes();

    // Now make an SDK call with the organization service proxy.
    // Display information about the logged on user.
    Guid userid = ((WhoAmIResponse)organizationProxy.Execute(
        new WhoAmIRequest())).UserId;
    SystemUser systemUser = organizationProxy.Retrieve("systemuser", userid,
        new ColumnSet(new string[] { "firstname", "lastname" })).ToEntity<SystemUser>();
    Console.WriteLine("Logged on user is {0} {1}.",
        systemUser.FirstName, systemUser.LastName);
}


Dim orgServiceManagement As IServiceManagement(Of IOrganizationService) =
    ServiceConfigurationFactory.CreateManagement(Of IOrganizationService)(New Uri(organizationUri))

' Set the credentials.
Dim credentials As AuthenticationCredentials = GetCredentials(endpointType_renamed)

' Get the organization service proxy.
Using organizationProxy As OrganizationServiceProxy =
    GetProxy(Of IOrganizationService, OrganizationServiceProxy)(orgServiceManagement, credentials)
    ' This statement is required to enable early-bound type support.
    organizationProxy.EnableProxyTypes()

    ' Now make an SDK call with the organization service proxy.
    ' Display information about the logged on user.
    Dim userid As Guid = (CType(organizationProxy.Execute(New WhoAmIRequest()), 
                          WhoAmIResponse)).UserId
    Dim systemUser_renamed As SystemUser =
        organizationProxy.Retrieve("systemuser",
                                   userid,
                                   New ColumnSet(New String() {"firstname",
                                                               "lastname"})).ToEntity(Of SystemUser)()
    Console.WriteLine("Logged on user is {0} {1}.",
                      systemUser_renamed.FirstName, systemUser_renamed.LastName)
End Using

The code creates an IServiceManagement<TService> object for the Organization service. An object of type AuthenticationCredentials is used to contain the user’s sign-in credentials. The IServiceManagement object and user credentials are then passed to GetProxy to obtain the web service proxy reference.

private AuthenticationCredentials GetCredentials<TService>(IServiceManagement<TService> service, AuthenticationProviderType endpointType)
{
    AuthenticationCredentials authCredentials = new AuthenticationCredentials();

    switch (endpointType)
    {
        case AuthenticationProviderType.ActiveDirectory:
            authCredentials.ClientCredentials.Windows.ClientCredential =
                new System.Net.NetworkCredential(_userName,
                    _password,
                    _domain);
            break;
        case AuthenticationProviderType.LiveId:

            authCredentials.ClientCredentials.UserName.Password = _password;
            authCredentials.SupportingCredentials = new AuthenticationCredentials();
            authCredentials.SupportingCredentials.ClientCredentials =
                Microsoft.Crm.Services.Utility.DeviceIdManager.LoadOrRegisterDevice();
            break;
        default: // For Federated and OnlineFederated environments.                    
            authCredentials.ClientCredentials.UserName.UserName = _userName;
            authCredentials.ClientCredentials.UserName.Password = _password;
            // For OnlineFederated single-sign on, you could just use current UserPrincipalName instead of passing user name and password.
            // authCredentials.UserPrincipalName = UserPrincipal.Current.UserPrincipalName;  // Windows Kerberos

            // The service is configured for User Id authentication, but the user might provide Microsoft
            // account credentials. If so, the supporting credentials must contain the device credentials.
            if (endpointType == AuthenticationProviderType.OnlineFederation)
            {
                IdentityProvider provider = service.GetIdentityProvider(authCredentials.ClientCredentials.UserName.UserName);
                if (provider != null &amp;&amp; provider.IdentityProviderType == IdentityProviderType.LiveId)
                {
                    authCredentials.SupportingCredentials = new AuthenticationCredentials();
                    authCredentials.SupportingCredentials.ClientCredentials =
                        Microsoft.Crm.Services.Utility.DeviceIdManager.LoadOrRegisterDevice();
                }
            }

            break;
    }

    return authCredentials;
}

Private Function GetCredentials(ByVal endpointType As AuthenticationProviderType) As AuthenticationCredentials

    Dim authCredentials As New AuthenticationCredentials()
    Select Case endpointType
        Case AuthenticationProviderType.ActiveDirectory
                  authCredentials.ClientCredentials.Windows.ClientCredential =

            ' authCredentials.UserPrincipalName = UserPrincipal.Current.UserPrincipalName;  //Windows/Kerberos
    End Select

    Return authCredentials
End Function

The AuthenticationCredentials object is configured according to the subscribed identity for the signed-in user. Notice that user credentials for all types of identity providers are shown. The default case handles Microsoft Office 365/MOS managed domain, online users whose identities are federated in the cloud, and transitioned Microsoft account users. Now let’s take a look at what GetProxy actually does.


private TProxy GetProxy<TService, TProxy>(
    IServiceManagement<TService> serviceManagement,
    AuthenticationCredentials authCredentials)
    where TService : class
    where TProxy : ServiceProxy<TService>
{
    Type classType = typeof(TProxy);

    if (serviceManagement.AuthenticationType !=
        AuthenticationProviderType.ActiveDirectory)
    {
        AuthenticationCredentials tokenCredentials =
            serviceManagement.Authenticate(authCredentials);
        // Obtain discovery/organization service proxy for Federated, LiveId and OnlineFederated environments. 
        // Instantiate a new class of type using the 2 parameter constructor of type IServiceManagement and SecurityTokenResponse.
        return (TProxy)classType
            .GetConstructor(new Type[] { typeof(IServiceManagement<TService>), typeof(SecurityTokenResponse) })
            .Invoke(new object[] { serviceManagement, tokenCredentials.SecurityTokenResponse });
    }

    // Obtain discovery/organization service proxy for ActiveDirectory environment.
    // Instantiate a new class of type using the 2 parameter constructor of type IServiceManagement and ClientCredentials.
    return (TProxy)classType
        .GetConstructor(new Type[] { typeof(IServiceManagement<TService>), typeof(ClientCredentials) })
        .Invoke(new object[] { serviceManagement, authCredentials.ClientCredentials });
}


Private Function GetProxy(Of TService As Class,
                              TProxy As ServiceProxy(Of TService)) _
                          (ByVal serviceManagement As IServiceManagement(Of TService),
                           ByVal authCredentials As AuthenticationCredentials) As TProxy
    Dim classType As Type = GetType(TProxy)

    If serviceManagement.AuthenticationType <>
        AuthenticationProviderType.ActiveDirectory Then
        Dim tokenCredentials As AuthenticationCredentials =
            serviceManagement.Authenticate(authCredentials)
        ' Obtain discovery/organization service proxy for Federated, LiveId and OnlineFederated environments. 
        ' Instantiate a new class of type using the 2 parameter constructor of type IServiceManagement and SecurityTokenResponse.
        Return CType(classType _
        .GetConstructor(New Type() {GetType(IServiceManagement(Of TService)), GetType(SecurityTokenResponse)}) _
        .Invoke(New Object() {serviceManagement, tokenCredentials.SecurityTokenResponse}), TProxy)
    End If

    ' Obtain discovery/organization service proxy for ActiveDirectory environment.
    ' Instantiate a new class of type using the 2 parameter constructor of type IServiceManagement and ClientCredentials.
    Return CType(classType _
        .GetConstructor(New Type() {GetType(IServiceManagement(Of TService)), GetType(ClientCredentials)}) _
        .Invoke(New Object() {serviceManagement, authCredentials.ClientCredentials}), TProxy)
End Function

For all deployments other than on-premises (Active Directory, without claims), the Authenticate method is invoked and then the service proxy is instantiated. Notice that the authentication credentials returned from Authenticate contain the security token response that is used in the service proxy constructor. The generic GetProxy method shown previously can be used to obtain an object reference to either OrganizationServiceProxy or DiscoveryServiceProxy.
