This topic describes how to authenticate to Dynamics Nav and configure any necessary connection properties in the Dynamics Nav connection connector.

Connection Configuration #

Each connection property available in the Dynamics Nav connector is explained below.

Connection Name #

The name of the connection to be created should be provided. This is the name that will display on the list of available connections.

URL #

Auth Scheme #

The scheme used for authentication.

Accepted entries are:

NTLM: Set this to use your Windows credentials to authenticate.

Basic: Set this to use HTTP Basic authentication.

Negotiate: If AuthScheme is set to Negotiate, the connector will negotiate an authentication mechanism with the server. Set AuthScheme to Negotiate to use Kerberos authentication.

Digest: Set this to use HTTP Digest authentication.

None: Indicates the service does not use authentication. I is not normally supported.

Company #

The company to submit queries against.

Example: ‘CRONUS Canada, Inc.’

This property is required if the Service Default Company has not been specified for the ServerInstance in question.

If blank, the connector will submit queries to the server and attempt to use the Service Default Company.

Example: “Cronus1”

Add Configuration: Additional properties can be added using this option as key-value pairs.

After entering all the details, click on the TEST button.

If the connection service identification and authentication details are provided correctly, a success message stating “connection available” is generated.

Click on the CREATE button to save the changes.

If the details are incorrect or the server is down, you will get a message “Connection unavailable”.
