Application User Form missing in Dynamics 365

Recently while trying to create a new application user, we could not find the application user form for the system user entity in the web application.

Within the maker portal, we can see the form available and enabled for everyone.

It was inside our classic administration settings; we saw it listed as Inactive Forms

Activating and publishing the solution fixed the issue.

Hope it helps..

Historical Data Migration – Created On and Modified On in Dynamics 365

Very insightful article by Debajit !

Just to summarize –

If we are using SDK method from external application to set values for created on, modified on – we can use overriddencreatedon for created on. Modified on will be ignored.

Setting values in Pre-Create Plugin – values specified for both created on and modified on will be set in the record.

CreatedOn, CreatedBy, ModifiedOn and ModfiedBy– All you need to know to maintain history during Data Migration in Dynamics 365

How to – Consume Dynamics 365 Web API using MSAL.NET

Sharing a sample code to consume Dynamics 365 Web API using MSAL.NET

Create a console application and add the following NuGet Package

Microsoft.Identity.Client

More on Microsoft identity platform

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/develop/

We are using ConfidentialClientApplicationBuilder create method.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-gb/azure/active-directory/develop/msal-net-initializing-client-applications

The sample code –

using Microsoft.Identity.Client;
using System;
using System.Net.Http;
using System.Net.Http.Headers;
using System.Threading.Tasks;

namespace CrmAppMSAL
{
class Program
{
static async Task Main(string[] args)
{

string clientId = "fc34502a-74db-4977-8c83-***********";
string secret = "5~mByJeQ8dDO2LZP_H_J2**********";
string[] scope = new string[] { "https://orgname.crm15.dynamics.com/.default" };
string webAPI = "https://[org].crm15.dynamics.com//api/data/v9.0/leads";
string authority = "https://login.microsoftonline.com/7bc93881-0733-48ab-baa1-ee3ed7717633";

var clientApp = ConfidentialClientApplicationBuilder.Create(clientId: clientId)
.WithClientSecret(clientSecret: secret)
.WithAuthority(new Uri(authority))
.Build();

try
{
AuthenticationResult authResult = await clientApp.AcquireTokenForClient(scope).ExecuteAsync();

var httpClient = new HttpClient();
httpClient.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add("OData-MaxVersion", "4.0");
httpClient.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add("OData-Version", "4.0");
httpClient.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Add(new MediaTypeWithQualityHeaderValue("application/json"));
httpClient.DefaultRequestHeaders.Authorization = new AuthenticationHeaderValue("Bearer", authResult.AccessToken);

httpClient.BaseAddress = new Uri(webAPI);

var response = httpClient.GetAsync("WhoAmI").Result;

if (response.IsSuccessStatusCode)
{
var userDetails = response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync().Result;
Console.WriteLine(userDetails);
Console.WriteLine(authResult.AccessToken);
Console.WriteLine(authResult.ExpiresOn);
Console.ReadLine();
}

}
catch (Exception ex)
{
string errorMessage = ex.Message;
}
}
}
}

Result –
