IDX10205: Issuer validation failed for D365 Operations

While setting up a new VM for cutomer project, we came across an issue where we were not able to do the API calls and were receiving following message in the window event logs.

Clicking “Details” will give you something like below (Trimmed details – showing the relative error message)

IDX10205: Issuer validation failed. Issuer: ‘https://sts.windows.net/GUID-AAD#1/’. Did not match: validationParameters.ValidIssuer: ‘null’ or validationParameters.ValidIssuers: ‘https://XXXXXXXXXX.sandbox.ax.dynamics.com, 00000000-0000-0000-c0000-000000000000, microsoft.erp, https://sts.windows.net/GUID-AAD#2

The first thing to notice that GUIDs are different – these ids should be similar when request is being posted with bearer token. This lead us to check the “UserInfo” table in the onebox machine. However, that didn’t help – so we looked further.

Upon further investigation we found out that web.config file in J:\AosService\WebRoot that had the original domain name related to person who deployed the VM for D365 Operations.

The domain name was different than actual tenant, after making the both same we were able to post the requests through Postman and received successful response. 

The lesson learnt was that we should be deploying the VMs from their tenant’s account instead of partner’s account.

D365 -Publishing Entities (BYOD)

Microsoft released the Dynamics 365 on November 01, 2016. With that Microsoft also release the VM for the solution as well – you can download it from https://connect.microsoft.com/site1321/Downloads

(You need to be registered in the feedback program to download)

After setting it all up, I tried to publish the entities to external database. It all looked easy, but while trying to do faced some exceptions as it was not able to find assemblies to actually execute the publish commands.

Below is the first error received, the SMO assembly for SQL Server was not loaded.

Now to resolve this follow below steps:

1. You can find this and other related assemblies in the C:\AOSService\PackagesLocalDirectory\Bin folder for your local VM.
2. After locating the assembly – drag it to c:\windows\assembly folder on your local VM. It will register it in the GAC. Don’t get confused by the assembly version in the properties of it. It will correctly display as 13.100.0.0  in the GAC.
3. Restart the “Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Operations – Data Import/Export Framework Service” from windows services
4. Reset IIS from Command prompt running in Administrator mode
5. Refresh the Dynamics AX, and publish the entities again after selecting

When you will refresh the page – you will see “published” column indicating the successful operation.

The database chosen for this will have the Schema published for the selected entities. Please note the name of the columns will be different than what actually are in the actual AX tables. I am sure you can change them – but that’s for some next article.

Example: SalesTable.SalesId == SalesOrderHeaderEntityStaging.SalesOrderNumber … (In Staging)

Next, you can use “Export” framework to export data to this database. Will find some time soon to go through further details on it. In the mean time please see Microsoft wiki on the topic. It’s a great help.

70-480: Programming in HTML5 with JavaScript and CSS3 – Done

Hi,

Today, I took the 70-480: Programming in HTML5 with JavaScript and CSS3 – and cleared it. I thought it would be easy one, but it wasn’t – it had more than expected material coverage. As I can’t give specific details out, so I will make it short and general.

http://www.microsoft.com/learning/en/us/exam.aspx?ID=70-480

1. Study the Channel 9, Screencast from http://www.microsoftvirtualacademy.com/tracks/developing-html5-apps-jump-start
2. Study HTML5 from Pluralsight
3. JavaScript Inheritance, Anonymous methods
4. Structuring JavaScript Code
5. Exception Handling
6. Ajax – JQuery
7. Event Handling
8. Binding Events
9. CSS3, Padding
10. Positioning in CSS
11. Header, Aside, Semantics

I had very cool experience with the javascript, html and dhtml etc … so I got it through. But you should have some experience and had actually build some stuff with html/ html5/ javascript and jquery.

Having experience helps a lot.

Thanks,

Riz
