Hi,

Is there any way besides using default credential to connect to CRM?

You can change the security option for IE to prompt for a login when you run.
This is done in the advanced settings for the Interanet Zone. Another option is
to use the IP address instead of the DNS name.

Hello Matt,

Thank you for your help.

I actually have a slightly different problem. I try to connect to the CRM
system using the default credentials, as follows:


// BizUser proxy object
Microsoft.CRM.Proxy.BizUser oBizUser = new Microsoft.CRM.Proxy.BizUser ();
oBizUser.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
oBizUser.Url = strDir + "BizUser.srf";

Microsoft.CRM.Proxy.CUserAuth oUserAuth = oBizUser.WhoAmI();

The call to WhoAmI fails with HTTP 401 (Unauthorized access). This is
strange as I do have a user account on the machine.

There is another thing that is strange. When I go into IE and try to connect
to the CRM system, it asks me for the login information. I don't understand
why it does that. IIS is set up for integrated Windows authentication. I
never have this problem when I connect to Exchange Server using Outlook Web
Access.

I appreciate your help.

Sunny

Is your IE browser configured with a proxy server? If so, it may be
interfering with the automatic login to CRM.

The 2 issues could be related. Are you using a DNS name or an IP to access CRM?
If you are using an IP, then it assumes the machine is in the Internet zone and
you will most likely be prompted for credentials. You may need to add the
machine to your Local Intranet zone in IE. Does this same thing happen from
other client machines or just yours?

The 401 could be coming from the above issue or it could be a number of other
issues. Where is the code deployed? on the CRM erver or another machine? If
it's on a nother machine, try putting it on the CRM server. Web apps have
trouble passing the credentials through properly. Make sure your virtual
directory is configured to run with the same auth reqs as the CRM site. Also,
try passing in explicit creditisla vs default credentials to see if it's an
integrated security issue or not.
