Connection error OnlineFederation

[MikeGWright]

When creating a connection with the latest XRMToolBox to an online instance that uses federated AD or Azure AD (see "Known Issue" at https://github.com/MscrmTools/XrmToolBox/wiki/Connecting-to-a-Microsoft-Dynamics-CRM-deployment), the connection needs to use the unique org name instead of the named alias.

Everything connects fine this way, but the generated command line ends up using the named alias for the URL instead of the unique name, eg 'https://customernameDev.crm... instead of https://customername0.crm.... Copying the generated command line and updating the URL parameter to use the unique org name makes everything work.

Here is the stack trace that it kicks back:

Have you tried the lastest pre-release version?

[MikeGWright]

That's the one I used. I just downloaded again to verify and it's still throwing the same error.

[daryllabar]

And what version does it say it is?

[MikeGWright]

1.2016.2.23

[daryllabar]

I'm using the OrganizationServiceUrl from the mscrmtools2001.config. When I connect to my online environment, it looks like this:
https://orgGENERATEDVALUE.api.crm.dynamics.com/XRMServices/2011/Organization.svc

What does yours look like? Can you try editing your file?

[MikeGWright]

Editing the file did the trick. The 'OriginalUrl' had the generated org name, but the OrganizationServiceUrl had the alias name. I changed OrganizationServiceUrl and OrganizationDataServiceUrl in the file to match the generated org name and connected. Once it connected it reset the data service URL to the original name, but left ServiceUrl alone and everything worked like a charm.

Thanks very much both for the awesome tool and your prompt attention, both are very much appreciated!

No Problem. Glad we figured it out!
