Enable multi-factor authentication through OAuth

4. Ocak 2015 brsken Dynamics CRM (0)
In the newly redesigned Microsoft Dynamics CRM for Outlook Configuration Wizard, System Administrators can enable multi-factor authentication (MFA) through the OAuth 2.0 Framework. OAuth 2.0 is an open framework for authorization that lets users provide access tokens, instead of credentials, to access their data that is hosted by a given service provider (such as CRM). Using MFA can help make client authentication more secure, especially for mobile users. CRM Online and on-premises versions of Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2015 can take advantage of MFA; Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2015 on-premises requires at least Windows Server 2012 R2. CRM Online automatically uses OAuth.

If you have upgraded your authentication server to use OAuth prior to installing CRM 2015 for Outlook, CRM 2015 for Outlook will automatically check for and use OAuth for MFA. Users will see the OAuth sign-in form the first time they use CRM 2015 for Outlook.

If you upgrade your authentication server to use OAuth after rolling out CRM 2015 for Outlook, you have two options to set CRM 2015 for Outlook to use OAuth.

  1. Reconfigure CRM for Outlook on all computers. Run the Microsoft Dynamics CRM for Outlook Configuration Wizard and remove and re-add your organization.

    -- OR --

  2. Use Group Policy to update the following registration key:

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\MSCRMClient\{orgid}.

    Set AuthenticationProvider to 0

    After the registry change, CRM 2015 for Outlook will automatically check for and use OAuth for MFA.

  • Microsoft SQL Server 2012, Standard, 64-bit SP1
  • Microsoft SQL Server 2012, Developer, 64-bit SP1 (for non-production use only)

Software Component Prerequisites:
The following SQL Server components must be installed and running on the computer that is running SQL Server before you install Microsoft Dynamics CRM Server 2015:
  • SQL word breakers
This is only required for some Microsoft Dynamics CRM language editions. For more information about word breaker versions for languages supported by SQL Server see Configure and Manage Word Breakers and Stemmers for Search.
  • SQL Server Agent service
  • SQL Server full-text indexing 
The following components must be installed and running on the computer where Microsoft Dynamics CRM Server 2015 will be installed:
  • Services
    • Indexing Service 
    • To install this service, see the Windows Server documentation.
    • IIS Admin 
    • World Wide Web Publishing
  • Windows Data Access Components (MDAC) 
  • Microsoft ASP.NET (Must be registered, but does not have to be running.)

Verify Prerequisites:
  • Before you install Microsoft Dynamics CRM Server, you should understand the following:
  • Microsoft SQL Server can be, but is not required to be, installed on the same computer as Microsoft Dynamics CRM Server.
  • If Microsoft Dynamics CRM Server and Microsoft SQL Server are installed on different computers, both computers must be in the same Active Directory directory service domain.
  • Microsoft SQL Server can be installed by using either Windows Authentication or mixed-mode authentication. (Windows Authentication is recommended for increased security and Microsoft Dynamics CRM will use only Windows Authentication).
  • The service account that SQL Server uses to log on to the network must be either a domain user account (recommended) or one of the built-in system accounts supported by SQL Server (Network Service, Local Service, or Local System). Installation of Microsoft Dynamics CRM Server will fail if the SQL Server service account is the local administrator. Installation of Microsoft Dynamics CRM Server will fail if the SQL Server service account is the local administrator.
  • The SQL Server service must be started and can be configured to automatically start when the computer is started.
  • The Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services service must be started and configured to automatically start when the computer is started.
  • The SQL Server Agent service must be started. This service can be configured to automatically start when the computer is started.
  • Although it is optional, we recommend that you accept the SQL Server default settings for Collation Designator, Sort Order, and SQL Collation. Microsoft Dynamics CRM supports both case-sensitive and case-insensitive sort orders.
  • Microsoft Dynamics CRM Server Setup requires at least one network protocol to be enabled to authenticate by using SQL Server. By default, TCP/IP protocol is enabled when you install SQL Server. You can view network protocols in SQL Server Configuration Manager.

Reporting Requirements:
Microsoft Dynamics CRM Reporting Extensions Requirements
The Microsoft Dynamics CRM Reporting Extensions component has the following requirements:
  • You must complete Microsoft Dynamics CRM Server Setup before you run Microsoft Dynamics CRM Reporting Extensions Setup.
  • You can install and run Microsoft Dynamics CRM Reporting Extensions on only one instance of Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services on a computer.
  • The identity account running the instance of Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services where the Microsoft Dynamics CRM Reporting Extensions are running can’t be the local system or a virtual account. This is required for Microsoft Dynamics CRM reporting to work because the identity account must be added to the PrivReportingGroup Active Directory security group that is used by Microsoft Dynamics CRM.
  • Separate deployments of Microsoft Dynamics CRM cannot share one Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services server. However, a single deployment of Microsoft Dynamics CRM that has multiple organizations can use the same Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services server.
  • You must run the Microsoft Dynamics CRM Reporting Extensions Setup on a computer that has a supported version of Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services installed. More information: SQL Server Reporting Services
  • For smaller data sets and fewer users, you can use a single-server deployment or a multiple-server deployment. With larger datasets or more users, performance decreases quickly when complex reports are run. Use a multi-server deployment with one computer that is running SQL Server for Microsoft Dynamics CRM, and another server for Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services.
Microsoft Dynamics CRM Reporting Authoring Extension Requirements:
Microsoft Dynamics CRM Report Authoring Extension is required to author fetch-based reports by using SQL Server Data Tools.
You must install the Microsoft Dynamics CRM Report Authoring Extension on a PC that has the following software.
  • Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 or Microsoft Visual Studio 2010.
  • SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT) installed with either Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 or Microsoft Visual Studio 2010. More information: Install SQL Server Data Tools
  • For Microsoft Visual Studio 2012: You must download and install Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools - Business Intelligence for Visual Studio 2012. 
  • For Microsoft Visual Studio 2010: You must select and install the SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT) feature that is included with Microsoft SQL Server 2012 or Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Express on the computer that is running Visual Studio 2010. Download: Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Express
  • If your organization uses Microsoft Office 365, make sure that the computer on which the Microsoft Dynamics CRM Report Authoring Extension is installed also has the Microsoft Online Services Sign-in Assistant installed on it. If Microsoft Online Services Sign-in Assistant is already installed, check the registry key SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSOIdentityCRL and make sure that the TargetDir registry key in MSOIdentityCRL contains msoidcli.dll.

Top 5 features in Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2015

17. Kasım 2014 brsken Dynamics CRM (0)

The Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2015 release has many new and improved features, which presents great improvements in how we can utilize the platform better. The updates will enable marketers to plan and execute marketing campaigns better, track impact, and strengthen collaborations with the sales process.

Customers today have higher expectations from businesses and to meet these needs, it’s mandatory to collaborate and bring in solutions which will help to reduce the gap between divisions which work towards customer satisfaction.

Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2015 is set to release in Q4 2014 (December). And as we studied the new release, we realized there are a few features which will bring about a change, in the good sense, for all users.

Product Families

  • Suggestions: Cross – selling or up- selling requires related product linkages, or formation of product families. Opportunity and customer records can help sales professionals bring in better conversion/customer when products are correctly categorized
  • Bundling: Products can be bundled and offered as packages, for discounts and offers
  • Regional pricelist: Products can be bundled and offered as packages, based on regional requirements and assessments
  • Product properties: Increased number of parameters for a product. Though these can be achieved through customizations in Dynamics CRM 2013, product properties will give more flexibility in various in-house processes
  • Import/Export products: Configuration migration tool, introduced in Dynamics CRM 2013 has been improved to support product migrations in Dynamics CRM 2015

Guided Sales Process

  • Further improves the business processes introduced in Dynamics CRM 2013 to enable organization implement complex business processes
  • Conditional branching has brought about more specificity to business processes
  • As compared to the wizard in Dynamics CRM 2013, Dynamics CRM 2015 offers custom programming options bringing in the possibility of implementing complex business logics

Mobile Enhancements

  • Offline draft capabilities on mobile devices which are synced when the user is back online
  • All dashboards are available on tablets

Case Management

  • Different Service Level Agreements (SLAs) to bring in flexible support and service requirements
  • Pause and Resume SLAs to track time efficiently through system settings
  • Track and analyze each key metrics and individual SLA

Search

  • With the new release, search within Dynamics CRM 2015 will be simpler and will allow for the usage of asterisks as wildcard characters
  • Search is customizable and configurable. The search can be across multiple record types.
  • Search can be configured on specific fields of preferred entities, improving search performance

One of the smaller (for now), enhancement which has been brought in, is Cortana on Windows Phone 8.1 devices, using which, users will be able to talk to the customer relationship management suite. Setting up meetings/reminders, searching contacts, accounts or activities, creating new records, etc. will be a breeze using Cortana.

Introduction

This sample is a custom extension to the CrmSvcUtil.exe program that ships in the Dynamics CRM 2013 SDK. The purpose of this program is to generate C# or VB source code containing early-bound entity types and option set types from the metadata of your CRM server. This code can then be included in your mobile app projects. This enables you to make use of both out-of-box and any custom or customized entities in your code.

 

Building the Sample

To build the program, follow these steps.

  1. Obtain the CrmSvcUtil.exe program and the Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk.dll assembly from the Bin folder of the CRM 2013 SDK. You can download the SDK from http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics/crm/dn467921.aspx.
  2. Load the CrmSvcMobileUtil.sln solution file into Visual Studio 2013.
  3. Add references to CrmSvcUtil.exe and Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk.dll in the project.
  4. Press F6 to build the program.

 

Running the Program

For information on how to run the program, see the SDK topic: Create early bound entity classes with the code generation tool (CrmSvcUtil.exe).

 

Important Notes

    • The sample files are not intended to be used in a production environment. You should deploy this sample to a test environment and examine it for interaction or interference with other parts of the system.
    • This program was written by Kenichiro Nakamura at Microsoft.

      Introduction

      The Microsoft.Crm.Sdk.Mobile source code sample is a partial re-implementation of the Microsoft Dynamics CRM SDK classes written as a Portable Class Library to facilitate development of store apps for Windows 8.1 desktop, tablets, and phones. The code makes use of the SOAP and OData protocols to issue web service method calls. An organization web service proxy and most of the message response/request classes in the CRM SDK have been implemented. When writing apps that use this code, you don’t have to link to the CRM SDK assemblies to access the organization web service.

      This code can also be used when you develop apps using Xamarin. However, you must comment out the EnableProxyTypes method in Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk.Samples.cs when developing iOS or Android apps using Xamarin because that method contains code that is specific to Windows Store. An alternative is to comment out the relevant code as shown here.

       

      Copy code
      C#
      Edit|Remove
      public async Task EnableProxyTypes()
{
    List<TypeInfo> typeList = new List<TypeInfo>();
    //// Obtain folder of executing application.
    //var folder = Package.Current.InstalledLocation;
    //foreach (var file in await folder.GetFilesAsync())
    //{
    //    // Not only .dll but .exe also contains types.
    //    if (file.FileType == ".dll" || file.FileType == ".exe")
    //    {
    //        var assemblyName = new AssemblyName(file.DisplayName);
    //        var assembly = Assembly.Load(assemblyName);
    //        foreach (TypeInfo type in assembly.DefinedTypes)
    //        {
    //            // Store only CRM entities.
    //            if (type.BaseType == typeof(Entity))
    //                typeList.Add(type);
    //        }
    //    }
    //}
    typeList.Add(typeof(ActivityParty).GetTypeInfo());
    typeList.Add(typeof(SavedQuery).GetTypeInfo());
    typeList.Add(typeof(Privilege).GetTypeInfo());
    typeList.Add(typeof(SystemUser).GetTypeInfo());
    typeList.Add(typeof(Annotation).GetTypeInfo());
    typeList.Add(typeof(TimeZoneDefinition).GetTypeInfo());
    types = typeList.ToArray();
}
       

       

      Building the Sample

      Your development computer must have an internet connection to build the library as a NuGet package named Json.NET will be automatically downloaded during the build.

      To build the Microsoft.Crm.Sdk.Mobile.dll assembly, follow these steps.

      1. In Visual Studio 2013, with update 2 or later installed, load the Microsoft.Crm.Sdk.Mobile.sln file.
      2. Press F6.

       

      Description

      The Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2013 SDK (and earlier releases) support client and server side code development for Dynamics CRM. However, the SDK assemblies cannot be used to develop mobile and store applications as the Windows run-time (WinRT) is not supported. To provide support for mobile apps, including cross platform iOS and Android apps, the Dynamics CRM server now supports client access to the organization web service using industry standard protocols such as OAuth (for authentication), plus SOAP and OData for sending web service requests. The problem is that while these protocols are supported, they are difficult to use. The solution is to layer a framework on top of the protocols to make app programming easier. For developing mobile and store apps, you can use the Microsoft Azure Active Directory Library (ADAL) for authentication, and this sample helper code library for web service requests and early-bound type support. 


      What is included in the library

      This library contains the following key components:

       

        Web Service Proxy

      This library provides most methods that the OrganizationServiceProxy class in the CRM SDK does - Create, Update, Assign, Execute, and so on. The class supports early-bound development by providing an EnableProxyTypes method. SOAP implementations of these methods use the same name as are used in the CRM SDK while the OData-based methods have names that begin with “Rest” for example RestCreate.

       

        SDK classes and enumerations

      This library supports most common CRM SDK classes and enumerations. With the addition of early-bound type support, you can use Visual Studio IntelliSense when writing your apps.

       

        Organization web service messages

      This library includes request/response classes for over 200 messages. It covers both data operations, for example Create, and metadata operations, for example RetrieveMetadataChanges.

       

      What isn't included in the library

      Several functional areas that the library doesn’t cover are as follows:

      Authentication

      Since this sample code library targets multiple platforms, and each platform has its unique way to authenticate the user, the library doesn’t provide any authentication mechanism. You must obtain an OAuth access token and pass it to an OrganizationDataWebServiceProxy object to access the organization web service. It’s recommended that you use the Microsoft Azure Active Directory Authentication Library (ADAL) for identity authentication. This library is referenced in the CRM SDK documentation and sample code. There is an open source implementation of ADAL available for iOS and Android. There is a Windows 8.1 version available for the desktop, tablets, and phones.

      For more information on ADAL see http://www.cloudidentity.com/blog/2014/06/16/adal-for-windows-phone-8-1-deep-dive.

      A sample code file named CRMHelpers.cs is provided to demonstrate how to authenticate a universal app. The file is not included in the build of the library.

      DiscoveryService, DeploymentService, OrganizationServiceContext

      This library doesn’t provide support for the discovery or deployment web services. It also doesn’t support the OrganizationServiceContext class.

      How to write apps that use this library

      You can build Microsoft.Crm.Sdk.Mobile.dll using the supplied Visual Studio 2013 solution and add a reference for it in your app’s project or you can add the library’s C# sample code files to your project.

      In your app, add code to authenticate the user and obtain a security access token. The method used varies depending on platform as mentioned previously. Next, instantiate the OrganizationDataWebServiceProxy class.

      Copy code
      C#
      Edit|Remove
      OrganizationDataWebServiceProxy _proxy = new OrganizationDataWebServiceProxy();
       

      Set the access token and web server URL in the OrganizationDataWebServiceProxy object.

      Copy code
      C#
      Edit|Remove
      _proxy.ServiceUrl = "<your CRM server URL goes here>";
_proxy.AccessToken = "<access token>";
       

      Call EnableProxyTypes to use early-bound types and optionally assign a service time-out interval.

      Copy code
      C#
      Edit|Remove
      await _proxy.EnableProxyTypes();

_proxy.Timeout = 600;

      Send a message request to the web service by using an async/await pattern.

      Copy code
      C#
      Edit|Remove
      WhoAmIResponse whoAmIResponse = (WhoAmIResponse)await _proxy.Execute(new WhoAmIRequest());

// Retrieve User Info

SystemUser user = (SystemUser)await _proxy.Retrieve(SystemUser.EntityLogicalName, whoAmIResponse.UserId, new ColumnSet(true));
       

      How to update existing application code

      If you want to use existing application code that was written for the CRM SDK with this library, make the following code changes.

      1. Add the async keyword to methods.

      2. Add await before the call to a proxy method.

      3. When accessing the property of a web service response, do so as shown here.

       

      Original CRM SDK code

      Copy code
      C#
      Edit|Remove
      _proxy.RetrieveMultiple(new QueryExpression(“account”, new Columns(true)).Entities)
       

      Modified code

      Copy code
      C#
      Edit|Remove
      (await _proxy.RetrieveMultiple(new QueryExpression(“account”, new Columns(true))).Entities)
       

      Important notes

      • The sample files are not intended to be used in a production environment. You should deploy this sample to a test environment and examine it for interaction or interference with other parts of the system.
      • Before you deploy this sample to a production environment, make sure that you consider the existing customizations you may have implemented in Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2013.
      • This library was written by Kenichiro Nakamura at Microsoft.

      Source code for the CrmSvcMobileUtil program is provided in a separate sample. Use that program to generate any custom or customized entity types in your organization for inclusion in your application.

      Source Code Files

      • Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk.Utility.Samples.cs - This file implementes a utility class that provides methods used by the other code files. There is no equivalent for this functionality in the CRM 2013 SDK.

      22. Temmuz 2014 brsken Dynamics CRM (0)
      I would like to introduce a new CRM book which you can access ebook version from that website www.crm2013quickstart.com

      Discount: JulieYackCRMQuickStartEBook (20% off the ebook)

      The CRM 2013 Quick Start is a first look at Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2013 and all the new features that have been included. 

      In the CRM 2013 Quick Start you will find details that can help administrators, customizers (functional consultants) and developers; not to mention power business users wanting to know all the details the admin never tells them. If you run CRM in the cloud or sitting in a server room at your office the information is useful. 

      This book is targeted to someone who has some CRM prior experience. By that we simply don’t spend any time explaining the basics of Microsoft Dynamics CRM from a beginner’s point of view. That said, the information in this book would still be useful on your journey to become proficient. 

      Chapter 1 - Hello I’m CRM 2013

      Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2013 is a major release building on the strong foundation of CRM 2011. From the user experience to platform capabilities CRM 2013 has changes that are targeted for everyone as users, customizers, IT Pros, and developers. In this chapter we give you a 50,000 foot tour of what’s new.

      Chapter 2 – The User Experience

      Before you can build solutions in CRM 2013 you should learn how the new user experience works. In this chapter we will dive into the new experience and break down all the key changes so you are ready to start thinking about customizing it.

      Chapter 3 – Customizing CRM Forms

      The 2013 user experience requires rethinking how we customize forms. From the new layout options, new controls and even new form types we have a lot to talk about. We also can’t forget you might have CRM 2011 forms and want to know how to move them forward into this release.

      Chapter 4 – Security Model Changes

      Today’s global business challenges the traditional organization structure as people form dynamic teams to work on individual opportunities or other data in CRM. CRM 2013 addresses that with Access Teams which challenge past thinking of how to handle these types of needs. In this chapter we will explore the new feature and discuss how and when to use the different CRM security concepts.

      Chapter 5 – Building Business Processes

      To consistently bake good cookies people often times use their favorite recipe. The Business Process feature of CRM 2013 brings that to CRM allowing you to bake in a business process into the life cycle of a CRM record. In fact you can even blur the lines of multiple CRM entities and have a business process cross the entity boundaries reflecting more real-world business processes. In this chapter we look at the features and how to leverage them to improve user productivity and consistency.

      Chapter 6 – No Code Business Rules

      Portable Business Rules, or PBL for short, offer a declarative way to define business rules. This new feature represents the start of a journey to a common need of having simple rules like “This field is required”. In this chapter we will explore the capability of PBL and when to use it versus other concepts in CRM that can enforce business rules.

      Chapter 7 – Real Time Workflows

      Workflows offer an easy way to compose flexible business processes that can optionally include custom code created by a developer. Prior to CRM 2013 these had to run asynchronously in the background and never could happen in real time. This caused a lot of plug-ins to be built to handle the requirement. New in CRM 2013 is real time workflows that can allow processing of events real time. In this chapter we discuss when and how to use the new feature.

      Chapter 8 – Upgrading to CRM 2013

      Next, Next, Next…Done… If it was only that easy it would be an automated upgrade. In this chapter we explore what you should consider before you upgrade and how to prepare.

      Chapter 9 – Solutions going forward

      As the pace of CRM releases increases, understanding how to package and deploy solutions becomes increasingly important. In this chapter we will discuss changes to the Solution Framework and how to prepare for the bold new world of frequent CRM releases.

      Chapter 10 – Taking CRM on the Road

      There is no question Microsoft was behind in mobile applications for CRM but came back strong with the introduction of the new tablet application for IPad and Windows. Learn how this fits in with the customizations you are doing to CRM and limitations you should be aware of in this first generation release. This chapter will also cover Outlook enhancements and Server Sync that in many scenarios will free the deployment from having an E-mail router.

      Chapter 11 – Developers, Developers, and Developers

      This release doesn’t have huge new API changes but it does have a lot of small useful changes across the different parts of the developer features. In this chapter we will explore from oAuth authentication support to Custom Actions and all the little changes between them.
