Calling a custom web service which uses CrmService from within a plug-in.


Suppose we have a simple web service which uses CrmService to create contact records. Now we want to call this custom web service from within our plug-in.

On doing so, we might receive following errors

System.Net.WebException: The request failed with HTTP status 401: Unauthorized.

or

Microsoft.Crm.CrmException: No Microsoft Dynamics CRM user exists with the specified domain name and user ID

It could be because the credentials of the user are not getting passed from the plugin to the custom webservice.

Web.config settings for Custom Web Application in CRM 4


These are few of the configuration settings we need to consider while deploying our custom web application within ISV folder of CRM.

If we want the page to run under the context of the logged in user than we need to enable impersonation.

    <authentication mode="Windows"/>



    <identity impersonate="true"/>


 


If we are using view state or session state we need to enable them as well.


  <pages enableSessionState="true" enableViewState="true" >


 


CRM 4 implements http modules for multi-tenancy support. Here we need to remove these modules from being called for our custom web application.


<httpModules>



      <remove name ="CrmAuthentication"/>



      <remove name ="MapOrg"/>



</httpModules>

The key specified to compute a hash value is expired, only active keys are valid. Expired Key – CRM.


I got this error while opening CRM!!

Starting the Microsoft CRM Asynchronous Processing Service on the server solved the problem for me!!!

or if that doesn’t work try this

“C:\Program Files\Microsoft Dynamics CRM\Tools >Microsoft.Crm.Tools.WRPCKeyRenewal.exe /R”

Bye.
