Set up server-based authentication with Microsoft Dynamics 365 and Exchange Online

Follow the steps in the order provided to set up Dynamics 365 (on-premises) with Exchange Online.

Important

The steps described here must be completed in the order provided. If a task is not completed, such as a Windows PowerShell command that returns an error message, the issue must be resolved before you continue to the next command, task, or step.

Verify prerequisites

Before you configure Dynamics 365 (on-premises) and Exchange Online for server-based authentication, the following prerequisites must be met:

The Dynamics 365 (on-premises) deployment must already be configured and available through the Internet. More information: Configure IFD for Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement (on-premises)
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Hybrid Connector. The Microsoft Dynamics 365 Hybrid Connector is a free connector that lets you use server-based authentication with Microsoft Dynamics 365 (on-premises) and Exchange Online. More information: Microsoft Dynamics 365 Hybrid Connector
An x509 digital certificate issued by a trusted certificate authority that will be used to authenticate between Dynamics 365 (on-premises) and Exchange Online. If you are evaluating server-based authentication, you can use a self-signed certificate.
Verify that all servers that run the Asynchronous Processing Service have the certificate that is used for Server-to-Server authentication.
Verify that the account that runs the Asynchronous Processing Service has read access for the certificate.

The following software features are required to run the Windows PowerShell cmdlets described in this topic:

Configure server-based authentication

On the Microsoft Dynamics 365 Server where the deployment tools server role is running, start the Azure Active Directory Module for Windows PowerShell.
Prepare the certificate.
Change the directory to the location of the CertificateReconfiguration.ps1 file (by default it is C:Program FilesMicrosoft Dynamics CRMTool).

Update S2STenantId for the organization by running these commands, where OrganizationName is the unique name of the organization.

Error received during enable server-based authentication wizard

Error: Failed Authentication. This error can be returned when the certificate used for server-to-server authentication is missing or invalid. To resolve, update or install the certificate and try again.

Create an email server profile

Microsoft Exchange 365 Office

Go to Settings > Email Configuration > Email Server Profiles.
Select New > Exchange Online (Hybrid).
For an Exchange email server profile, specify the following details.

Fields	Description
Name	Specify a meaningful name for the profile.
Description	Type a short description about the objective of the email server profile.
Server Type	Pre-populated with Exchange Online (Hybrid).
Owner	Pre-populated with the name of the owner of the email server profile.
Use Default Tenant ID	If you've used the PowerShell commands above to set the Exchange Online tenant ID (recommended), select Yes to use that ID. If you set this to No, you must specify the Exchange Online tenant ID manually (not recommended!).
Exchange Online Tenant ID	If you've used the PowerShell commands above to set the Exchange Online tenant ID (recommended), the ID is pre-populated in this field.
Auto Discover Server Location	Pre-populated with the Exchange Online URL. Select Yes (recommended), if you want to use the auto discover service to determine the server location. If you set this to No, you must specify the email server location manually.
Incoming Server Location and Outgoing Server Location	If you select No in Auto Discover Server Location, enter a URL for Incoming Server Location and Outgoing Server Location.
Additional Settings
Process Email From	Select a date and time. Email received after the date and time will be processed by server-side synchronization for all mailboxes associated with this profile. If you set a value less than the current date, the change will be applied to all newly associated mailboxes and their earlier processed emails will be pulled.
Minimum Polling Intervals in Minutes
Row12	Type the minimum polling interval, in minutes, for mailboxes that are associated with this email server profile. The polling interval determines how often server-side synchronization polls your mailboxes for new email messages.
Move Failed Emails to Undeliverable Folder	To move the undelivered email to the Undeliverable folder, select Yes. If there’s an error in tracking email messages in Dynamics 365 as email activities, and if this option is set to Yes, the email message will be moved to the Undeliverable folder.

Select Save.
Select Test Connection and review the results. To diagnose issues, see the following section.

Troubleshoot the Exchange Online (Hybrid) profile connection

If you’ve run Test Connection and have issues with the Exchange Online (Hybrid) profile connection, use the information in the Test Connection dialog box to diagnose and fix the connection.

You can find information on recurring issues and other troubleshooting information in Blog: Test and Enable Mailboxes in Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2015 and Troubleshooting and monitoring server-side synchronization.

Configure default email processing and synchronization

Set server-side synchronization to be the default configuration method.

Go to Settings > Email Configuration > Email Configuration Settings.
Set the processing and synchronization fields as follows:

Server Profile: The profile you created in the above section.
Incoming Email: Server-Side Synchronization or Email Router
Outgoing Email: Server-Side Synchronization or Email Router
Appointments, Contacts, and Tasks: Server-Side Synchronization or Email Router

Note

If your users primarily use Dynamics 365 for Outlook on their desktop computers, Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Outlook might be a better choice.

If you leave the Email processing form unapproved user and queues at the default values (selected), you will need to approve emails and queues for user mailboxes as directed below in Approve Email.

Select OK.

Configure mailboxes

To set mailboxes to use the default profile, you must first set the Server Profile and the delivery method for email, appointments, contacts, and tasks.

No sleep app for mac. In addition to administrator permissions, you must have Read and Write privileges on the Mailbox entity to set the delivery method for the mailbox.

Select one of the following methods:

Edit mailboxes to set the profile and delivery methods

Go to Settings > Email Configuration > Mailboxes.
Select Active Mailboxes.
Select the mailboxes that you want to configure, and then select Edit.
In the Change Multiple Records form, under Synchronization Method, set Server Profile to the Exchange Server profile you created earlier.
Set Incoming and OutgoingEmail to Server-Side Synchronization or Email Router.
Set Appointments, Contacts, and Tasks to Server-Side Synchronization.

Note

If your users primarily use Dynamics 365 for Outlook on their desktop computers, Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Outlook might be a better choice.

Select Change.

Approve email

You need to approve each user mailbox or queue before that mailbox can process email.

Go to Settings > Email Configuration > Mailboxes.
Select Active Mailboxes.
Select the mailboxes that you want to approve, and then select More Commands (…) > Approve Email.
Select OK.

Microsoft Exchange 365 Outlook

Test configuration of mailboxes

Go to Settings > Email Configuration > Mailboxes.
Select Active Mailboxes.
Select the mailboxes you want to test, and then select Test & Enable Mailboxes.

This tests the incoming and outgoing email configuration of the selected mailboxes and enables them for email processing. If an error occurs in a mailbox, an alert is shown on the Alerts wall of the mailbox and the profile owner. Depending on the nature of the error, Microsoft Dynamics 365 tries to process the email again after some time or disables the mailbox for email processing.

The result of the email configuration test is displayed in the Incoming Email Status, Outgoing Email Status, and Appointments, Contacts, and Tasks Status fields of a mailbox record. An alert is also generated when the configuration is successfully completed for a mailbox. This alert is shown to the mailbox owner.

Tip

If you’re unable to synchronize contacts, appointments, and tasks for a mailbox, you may want to select the Sync items with Exchange from this Dynamics 365 org only, even if Exchange was set to sync with a different org check box. Read more about this check box.

Test email configuration for all mailboxes associated with an email server profile

Microsoft Exchange 365 Mail

Go to Settings > Email Configuration > Email Server Profiles.
Select the profile you created, and then select Test & Enable Mailboxes.

When you test the email configuration, an asynchronous job runs in the background. It may take a few minutes for the test to be completed. Microsoft Dynamics 365 tests the email configuration of all the mailboxes associated with the Exchange Server profile. For the mailboxes configured with server-side synchronization for synchronizing appointments, tasks, and contacts, it also checks to make sure they’re configured properly.
