I had a few questions about microsoft crm 2011 (on-premise deployment) connectivity through soap web services. It would be appreciated if someone could help out
- What are the different authentication methods to connect to microsoft CRM 2011 soap web services? I understand Active directory authentication is one way through which one can pass his domain credentials to authenticate. This would mean that the crm is configured with ADFS. We are planning to integrate CRM with our application to pull data from it. It would not be practical to accept the user's admin credentials and save it in our application. What are other authentication methods?
- What are the steps to authenticate a user on an on-premise installation? I tried the C# code sample and it seems to work but couldn't find a corresponding one for java. I followed the steps giving in java2crm sample of SDK but that one is for online deployment connectivity.
Kindly let me know your thoughts.
Regards,
Amit.
