My CRM 2011 tools are now Claim based authentication compatible

Everything is on the title Sourire

Please take time to rate my tools on codeplex if you like them and if you really like them, you can even make a donation (see Paypal button on your right)

Many thanks to Alex Fagundes and PowerObjects for providing me a Claim Based authentication organization on their servers. It helps me a lot for testing my tools.

I owe you one, Alex !

Hi. I used your CRM4 tools a lot. Great to see you are creating the same for 2011. I am struggling to get them to connect to our internal 2011 server when we have ADFS switched on. Do I need to do anything with the tools to make it happen? Include another dll in the folder?

Keep up the good work!

Hi LycraLout,

Currently, the Claim based authentication is supported only if the ADFS server used to authenticate the user is the one configured against the CRM server.

If not, then, you can't use my tools...

As I don't have such an environment, I can't add and test this feature to my tools

I've returned to your tools again after having no success connecting via the IFD option for on premise + ADFS. I can confirm that we only have one ADFS server so that must be the one configured against CRM.

I have, however, managed to connect your tools by not choosing to go via the connection wizard in the bottom left status bar. Instead, I configure the connection as I believe it should be, ignore the error message that is reported back, choose to Load Entities/Export Scripts from the application toolbar which invokes login box where I provide my password. I am then successfully connected.

This is a painless workaround for me as your tools make life easier anyhow, but I thought I should report that back to you.

Keep up the good work.

Good to know you have a work around...

Can you provide me the values that can't connect and the ones you specified directly in the connection settings file?

New XrmToolBox plugin : Import/Export NN relationships

Image
Two plugins in one day! wow! This one was, in fact, developed a couple of months ago. One of my colleague was using a solution from my fellow MVP Andrii Butenko which allows to import/export NN relationships in a silverlight web resource. This was nice but my colleague was using other attributes than primary key to do the mapping and Andrii’s solution does not support this. So he asked me to develop a XrmToolBox’s plugin that could do this. And, here it is! You can select entities and relationships and moreover, choose mapping attributes on both enitities. I only let text and number attributes selectable as other does not really make sense for mapping purposes. Then you can import or export NN relationships! Here is a preview As usual, this plugin, among other, is available with XrmToolBox on CodePlex

Searchable Propery Attribute Updater

Image
Hi, The previous post was not the last one... :) You can find in this post the first tool that will make your life easier: Just remember when you customer asked you to remove all these unused attributes form the attribute list of the advanced find form... You navigated through all attrbutes form to modify the Searchable property of each attributes for hours... (maybe am I exaggerating a bit...) The program I give you allows you to update all attributes in a single winform application! Yes it can be! Do not hesitate to give me your comments about this program if you think improvements can be done... Download:

Full featured CRM grid in HTML/JS

Image
In last December, I was asked to write a web resource to display a grid with CRM records. I was quite frustrated because I didn’t succeed to manage some grid features easily like fixed header with horizontal scrolling among others. I delivered a fixed table which was not so bad but absolutely not something that look like the application grid views. So I decided to work harder to find a way to do this CRM style grid view. After some works (almost two full days), I have succeeded to create a full featured CRM grid view by using only JavaScript. Here is a screenshot: And this is how I can create a grid view from only a div in a HTML page < html > < head > < title > Page de test </ title > < script src ="json2.js"></ script > < script src ="jquery.js"></ script > < script src ="XrmServiceToolKit.js"></ script > < script src ="sdk.metadata.js"></ script > ...
