About claims authentication
Microsoft Dynamics CRM Server 2011 and Microsoft Dynamics CRM Server 2013 use claimsbased authentication to authenticate internal users and to enable Internet access for external users not using VPN.
Claims-based authentication is built on Windows Identity Foundation (WIF), a framework for building claims-aware applications and security token service (STS) that is standards-based and interoperable. Interoperability is provided through reliance on industry standard protocols such as
WS-Federation, WS-Trust, and Security Assertion Markup Language 1.1 (SAML).This document uses Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS) as the identity provider.
In claims-based authentication, an identity provider that contains a security token service (STS) responds to authentication requests and issues SAML security tokens that include any number of claims about a user, such as a user name and groups the user belongs to. A relying party application receives the SAML token and uses the claims inside to decide whether to grant the client access to the requested resource. Claims-based authentication can be used to authenticate your organization's internal users, external users, and users from partner organizations.

Terminology
Term Definition
Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS) A component of Microsoft Windows Server that supports identity federation and Web single sign-on (SSO) for Web browser–based applications.
Attribute store
Claim
Claim rule
Claims-aware application
A database that stores identities and their associated attributes. For this document, Active
Directory Domain Services (AD DS) is the attribute store.
A statement that one subject makes about itself or another subject. For example, the statement can be about a name, identity, key, group, privilege, or capability. Claims have a security token service that issues them (such as AD
FS), and they are given one or more values.
A rule that is written in the claim rule language in AD FS that defines how to generate, transform, pass through, or filter claims.
A relying party software application that uses claims to manage identity and access for users.

Definition
In this document, Microsoft Dynamics CRM is the claims-aware application.
A Federation Service that issues claims for a particular transaction. In Microsoft Windows
Server claims-based authentication, AD FS issues claims to its users for the relying party - the Microsoft Dynamics CRM server.
A computer running Microsoft Windows Server that has been configured using the AD FS
Federation Server Configuration Wizard to act in the federation server role. A federation server issues tokens and serves as part of a
Federation Service.
A logical instance of a security token service such as AD FS.
A Web service that handles requests for trusted identity claims and issues SAML tokens. An identity provider uses a database called an attribute store to store and manage identities and their associated attributes. For this document, AD FS is the identity provider and
Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) is the attribute store.
An application that consumes claims to make authentication and authorization decisions. For example, the Microsoft Dynamics CRM server receives claims that determine whether users in a partner organization can access your
Microsoft Dynamics CRM data.
A trust object, in the AD FS snap-in, that is created to maintain the relationship with a
Federation Service or with an application that consumes claims from this Federation Service.
Authentication methods
The following authentication methods are supported by Microsoft Dynamics CRM Server:
Windows Authentication
8
Claims-based authentication: internal access
Claims-based authentication: external access
Claims-based authentication: internal and external access
Your choice of authentication method depends on your organization's design and deployment goals.
Authentication model
Windows Authentication
Claims-based authentication: internal access
Scenario
You can use Windows Authentication in
Microsoft Dynamics CRM Serverto authenticate clients using NTLM or Kerberos. Windows
Authentication is used in an intranet environment where all users are members of your Active Directory domain.
If you have a multiple domain environment where trust does not exist between the domains, or where some users exist in a different attribute store such as a partner organization, you can use claims-based authentication to handle internal user authentication.
Claims-based authentication: external access Accessing Microsoft Dynamics CRM data over the Internet through an Internet-facing deployment (IFD) is done with claims-based authentication.
Important
After deploying claims-based authentication, internal users can continue to use Windows
Authentication to access Microsoft Dynamics CRM data (for example, using http://crmserver/orgname).
Before deploying claims-based authentication in a production environment, first test your deployment settings in a test environment.

Deployment scenarios in this document
Windows authentication
You can use Windows Authentication in Microsoft Dynamics CRM Server to authenticate clients using NTLM or Kerberos. Windows Authentication is used in an intranet environment where all users are members of your Active Directory domain.
Windows Authentication using Kerberos flows as follows:
Claims-based authentication: internal access
If you have a multiple domain environment where trust does not exist between the domains, or where some users exist in a different attribute store such as a partner organization, you can use claims-based authentication to handle internal user authentication.
Claims authentication flows as follows:
10
1. The client sends a request to access the Microsoft Dynamics CRM website.
2. IIS refuses the connection with an HTTP 302 error message and redirects the user to the trusted claims provider (also known as the STS) for Microsoft Dynamics CRM (AD FS).
3. The client sends a request for a security token to AD FS.
4. AD FS returns an HTTP 401.1 error, indicating that the client must supply a Kerberos ticket.
5. The client sends a Kerberos authentication request to Active Directory.
6. Active Directory validates the client and sends a Kerberos ticket.
7. The client sends a request for a security token to AD FS and includes the Kerberos ticket.
Note
If the client already has a valid Kerberos ticket on the network, this ticket is sent to
AD FS in step 3 and steps 4 through 7 are skipped.
8. AD FS provides a security token containing claims for access to Microsoft Dynamics CRM data.
9. The client sends the security token containing claims obtained from AD FS to the Microsoft
Dynamics CRM server.
10. The Microsoft Dynamics CRM server decrypts and validates the security token and presents the user with the requested information.
Important
Microsoft Dynamics CRM security roles and profiles are respected. The security token containing claims only replaces the Kerberos ticket used with Windows
Authentication.
11
Claims-based authentication: external access
Accessing Microsoft Dynamics CRM data over the Internet through an Internet-facing deployment
(IFD) is now done with claims-based authentication.
The flow for claims with IFD access is largely unchanged from the flow described above for internal access. The major difference is that user authentication does not include a Kerberos ticket. When accessing AD FS, users are prompted for credentials on an AD FS logon page. If more than one claims provider (by default Active Directory is the sole claims provider) is trusted by AD FS, users are prompted to select a claims provider (called the home realm discovery process). Users then enter their credentials and the AD FS server validates these logon credentials with the selected attribute store, such as AD DS.
Deployment scenarios in this document
The placement of the AD FS security token service is an important decision when planning your claims-based authentication. You can use a single or multiple server scenario as described below. A multiple server scenario is recommended and is what is used in this document.
12
AD FS and Microsoft Dynamics CRM on the same server
AD FS and Microsoft Dynamics CRM on separate servers
A single-server deployment is suitable for small offices with a limited number of users. Because
AD FS must be installed in the default website, the URL used for claims-based access to
Microsoft Dynamics CRM will require a port number such as 444.
Note
For Windows Server 2012 R2, you do not need to create a separate website and use a new port.
Separating AD FS from Microsoft Dynamics
CRM on separate servers is the recommended deployment scenario.
You will especially want to use this scenario if you are deploying on Windows Server 2008 or
Windows Server 2012 (not R2) to allow AD FS to be the default website on its own server.
The second server for AD FS must have a public IP address and be an endpoint for external connections – unless you use an AD
FS proxy server.
Note
This document assumes you are installing on Windows Server 2012 R2 using a separate
AD FS server scenario – the recommended deployment. For Windows Server 2008 or
Windows Server 2012, you must append a port number to the URL in a single server installation.
13
Plan for claims-based authentication
The following section covers considerations to be made and actions to be taken prior to a claimsbased authentication deployment.

Deployment scenarios in this document
Implement claims-based authentication: internal access
Microsoft Dynamics CRM Server and AD FS conditions
Before you configure claims-based authentication, note the following conditions for the web components:
1. If you are installing Microsoft Dynamics CRM Server in a single server configuration, be aware that AD FS installs on the default website. Therefore, you must create a new website for Microsoft Dynamics CRM Server.
Note
This does not apply to Windows Server 2012 R2 as AD FS in Windows Server 2012
R2 is no longer dependent on IIS.
2. Before you enable claims-based authentication, Microsoft Dynamics CRM Server must be running on a website that has been configured to use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). Microsoft
Dynamics CRM Server Setup will not configure the website for SSL.
3. Microsoft Dynamics CRM Server be running on a website that has a single binding. Multiple
IIS bindings, such as a website with two HTTPS or two HTTP bindings, are not supported for running Microsoft Dynamics CRM Server.
4. When claims-based authentication is enabled, HTTPS must be used in your browser for both internal and external access to Microsoft Dynamics CRM Server.
Certificate selection and requirements
Certificate selection plays a critical role in securing communication between clients and Microsoft
Dynamics CRM Server when using claims authentication. You should have a solid understanding of digital certificates before implementing claims-based authentication.
The following references provide an introduction to certificates and public key infrastructure (PKI) technologies:
14
Application Security - Certificates
Certificate Requirements for Federation Servers
Certificates are required for the following in Microsoft Dynamics CRM Server claims-based authentication.
Claims encryption. Claims-based authentication requires a certificate to encrypt claims sent to the relying party. This certificate should be issued by a trusted certification authority (CA) and should be trusted by the computer where you are installing Microsoft Dynamics CRM
Server so it must be located in the local Personal store where the Configure Claims-Based
Authentication Wizard is running.
SSL (HTTPS) encryption. The certificate for SSL encryption should be valid for host names similar to org.contoso.com, auth.contoso.com, and dev.contoso.com. To satisfy this requirement you can use a single wildcard certificate (*.contoso.com), or a certificate that supports Subject Alternative Names, or individual certificates for each name. Individual certificates for each host name are only valid if you use different servers for each web server role. Multiple IIS bindings, such as a website with two HTTPS or two HTTP bindings, are not supported for running Microsoft Dynamics CRM Server.
Consider the following when selecting a certificate for your configuration.
Wildcard certificate (recommended). A wildcard certificate supports internal and external
access requirements for a single domain. For example, *.contoso.com certificate supports the externally accessed domains org1.contoso.com and org2.contoso.com as well as the internally accessed domain internalcrm.contoso.com. Because the external domain name must resolve for internal access, you cannot use the server name for internal access. If you wish, you can use separate Microsoft Dynamics CRM servers for internal and external claims access to allow the server name to be used for internal access.
Subject Alternative Name (SAN) certificate. Use a SAN certificate if you wish to use a different
address for your internal domain that does not match your external domain. For example, your internal domain is org.contoso.local and your external domain is org.contoso.com. Be aware that third-party certificate providers typically do not provide certificates for .local domains.
Self-signed certificate. A self-signed certificate should only be used for testing purposes and not
in a production deployment. If you use a self-signed certificate, it must be imported into the
Trusted Root Certification Authorities store of all Microsoft Dynamics CRM servers and client computers accessing Microsoft Dynamics CRM Server. For information on how to import a certificate, see Help in the Certificates Microsoft Management Console (MMC). See “Creating a self-signed wildcard certificate for a test deployment” below for information on creating a selfsigned wildcard certificate.
Certificate expiration Because there’s some pain and effort involved with updating a certificate,
consider purchasing a certificate with an extended expiration period – three or more years.
Important
If you use a certificate that is created by using a custom certificate request, the template that was used must be the Legacy key template. Custom certificate requests created by using the CNG key template are incompatible with Microsoft Dynamics CRM. For more
15
information about custom certificate request templates, see Create a Custom Certificate
Request .
The default website certificate for Windows Server 2008 and Windows
Server 2012.
Note
These steps apply to Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2012. They do not apply to Windows Server 2012 R2.
After you have obtained and installed a certificate, the certificate must be bound to the default website before you can use AD FS.
Bind an SSL certificate to the default website
1. Open IIS Manager.
2. In the Connections pane, expand the Sites node in the tree, and then click the Default
Web Site.
3. In the Actions pane, click Bindings.
4. In the Site Bindings dialog box, click Add.
5. Under Type, select https.
6. Under SSL certificate, select your SSL certificate and then click OK.
7. Click Close.
For more information about adding binding to a site, see Add or Edit Site Binding Dialog Box
The Microsoft Dynamics CRM Server website certificate
When enabling claims-based authentication, the Microsoft Dynamics CRM website must be accessible via HTTPS. You must bind your SSL certificate to the Microsoft Dynamics CRM website.
Bind an SSL certificate to the Microsoft Dynamics CRM Server website
1. Open IIS Manager.
2. In the Connections pane, expand the Sites node in the tree, and then click the Microsoft
Dynamics CRM website.
3. In the Actions pane, click Bindings.
4. In the Site Bindings dialog box, click Add.
5. Under Type, select https.
6. Under SSL certificate, select your SSL certificate.
7. Click Close.
See the section below DNS configuration to add a host record in DNS for internal access to
Microsoft Dynamics CRM Server (for example, internalcrm.contoso.com).
16
Regarding the AD FS token-signing certificate
AD FS servers use a token-signing certificate created by the AD FS Configuration Wizard to digitally sign all security tokens that they produce. By default, Microsoft Dynamics CRM Server does not check for the presence or validity of this certificate and does not use AD FS token
Creating a self-signed wildcard certificate for a test deployment
You can create a self-signed wildcard certificate using one of the following programs. The certificate created is not publicly trusted and should only be used for testing.
Makecert.exe
You can use Makecert.exe (Certificate Creation Tool) to generate a self-signed wildcard certificate for testing purposes. Makecert.exe is available in the Microsoft Windows Software
Development Kit for Windows Server 2008 and .NET Framework 3.5.
The following are the settings used for a wildcard certificate used to create test deployments for this document: makecert.exe -r -pe -n "CN=*.contoso.com" -b 01/01/2010 -e 01/01/2050 -eku
1.3.6.1.5.5.7.3.1 -ss my -sr localMachine -sky exchange -sp "Microsoft RSA SChannel
Cryptographic Provider" -sy 12
The self-signed certificate created with Makecert.exe is installed in the local computer’s Personal store and is not trusted. To set certificate trust, copy the self-signed certificate (for example
*.contoso.com) from the Personal store to the Trusted Root Certification Authorities store. For more information, see Help in the Certificates Microsoft Management Console (MMC).
Tip
Start a command prompt as an administrator before running makecert.exe.
For more information on Makecert.exe settings, see MakeCert .
SelfSSL
Download the IIS 6.0 Resource Kit and install the SelfSSL tool. For more information, see:
Configuring CCF to Use HTTPS (SSL) on IIS 6.0

DNS configuration
Before configuring Microsoft Dynamics CRM Server for claims-based authentication, you should configure your internal and public domain records so the various Microsoft Dynamics CRM Server
17
and AD FS endpoints resolve correctly. If you are setting up Microsoft Dynamics CRM Server in a test lab, you can configure internal records in the hosts file instead of DNS. Hosts use is not recommended for a production environment.
You will create DNS records for the following domain names:
Internal URL used to access Microsoft Dynamics (for example, internalcrm.contoso.local).
External URL used to access Microsoft Dynamics - Web Application Server domain (for example, orgname.contoso.com).
Microsoft Dynamics CRM Organization Web Service domain. Differs from the record used for external access if you have separate domains (for example, orgname.subdm.contoso.com).
Microsoft Dynamics CRM Discovery Web Service domain (for example, dev.contoso.com).
AD FS server (for example, sts1.contoso.com).
External IFD URL - Microsoft Dynamics CRM IFD federation endpoint (for example, auth.contoso.com). This record will be used by the AD FS server when retrieving the
Microsoft Dynamics CRM IFD federationmetadata.xml file.
Important
There are several names that cannot be used for host records, for example: support, help, and home. To view a complete list of reserved names, open the dbo.ReservedNames table in the MSCRM_CONFIG database on the Microsoft Dynamics
CRM server and review the names in the ReservedName column.
Example DNS Settings – AD FS and Microsoft Dynamics CRM on separate servers
The following are example DNS settings for a two-server deployment. Two public IP addresses are required for external access to Microsoft Dynamics CRM – one for the Microsoft Dynamics
CRM server and one for the AD FS server. Two internally hosted DNS zones are required: contoso.local and contoso.com.
Important
If you would rather not have a public connection for your AD FS server, you can use an
AD FS proxy server. You can use federation server proxies to provide intermediary services between an Internet client and a federation server that is behind a firewall (not published on the Internet) on your corporate network.
Microsoft Dynamics CRM server always needs to talk to the AD FS server but the
Internet client should talk to the AD FS proxy server. This can be achieved by pointing the sts.domain.com DNS record externally to the AD FS proxy server and internally to the
AD FS server. The DNS records example table below covers the AD FS proxy scenario.
For more information, see Deploying Federation Server Proxies .
The following table contains records configured in the Internal DNS Zone: contoso.local.

1. Open DNS Manager by clicking Start, pointing to Administrative Tools, and then clicking DNS.
2. In the console tree, right-click a DNS server, and then click New Zone to open the New
Zone Wizard.
3. Follow the instructions in the wizard to create a forward lookup zone of type: primary zone, secondary zone, or stub zone.
20
Firewall configuration
You must set your firewall to allow inbound traffic on the ports used for Microsoft Dynamics CRM
Server and AD FS. The default port for HTTPS (SSL) is 443.
Implement claims-based authentication: internal access
Enabling claims-based authentication for internal access to Microsoft Dynamics CRM Server data involves the following steps:
1. Deploy and configure AD FS.
2. Configure the Microsoft Dynamics CRM server for claims-based authentication.
3. Configure the AD FS server for claims-based authentication.
4. Test internal claims-based authentication.
Claims-based authentication is not a requirement for intranet Microsoft Dynamics CRM Server access. However, claims-based authentication is required for Microsoft Dynamics CRM IFD access.

Implement claims-based authentication: external access
Deploy and configure AD FS
A variety of identity providers can be used with Microsoft Dynamics CRM Server. This document uses Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS) for the security token service. For information on configuring identity federation deployment between AD FS and other identity providers, see:
AD FS 2.0 Step-by-Step and How To Guides .
Important
If you are deploying on Windows Server 2008 or Windows Server 2012, and you are installing AD FS on the same server as Microsoft Dynamics CRM, AD FS installs on the
21
default website. Before installing AD FS, you must create a new website for Microsoft
Dynamics CRM Server.
This does not apply to Windows Server 2012 R2 as AD FS in Windows Server 2012 R2 does not depend on IIS.
Deploy a federation server
For information on deploying an AD FS server, see AD FS Deployment .
Configure AD FS for Windows Server 2012 R2
To configure AD FS as a stand-alone federation server for Microsoft Dynamics CRM Server claims authentication, do the following:
1. Open the Windows Server 2012 R2 Add Roles and Features Wizard and add the Active
Directory Federation Services server role.
2. Proceed through the wizard. Click Configure the federation service on this server.
3. On the Welcome page in the Active Directory Federation Services Configuration Wizard, choose an option for a federation server, and then click Next.
4. Proceed through the wizard. On the Specify Service Properties page, select your SSL certificate, enter a Federation Service Name, and then enter a Federation Service Display
Name.
Note
You only add the federation service name if you are using a wildcard certificate for the AD FS website.
If you install AD FS and Microsoft Dynamics CRM Server on the same server, do not use the same URL for the Federation Service name and internal claims access to
Microsoft Dynamics CRM Server. For example, if you use sts1.contoso.com for the
Federation Service name, do not use https://sts1.contoso.com for internal Microsoft
Dynamics CRM data access.
22
5. Proceed through and complete the Active Directory Federation Services Configuration
Wizard. Close the Add Roles and Features Wizard.
6. If you have not created a host record in DNS for the federation server name you specified in
Step 4 previously, do so now.
For more information, see Configure a Federation Server .
Verifying AD FS installation
Use the following steps to verify the AD FS installation:
1. On the AD FS server, open Internet Explorer.
2. Browse to the URL of the federation metadata. For example, https://sts1.contoso.com/federationmetadata/2007-06/federationmetadata.xml
You may need to turn on Compatibility View in Internet Explorer.
3. Verify that no certificate-related warnings appear. If necessary, check your certificate and
DNS settings.

Implement claims-based authentication: internal access
Configure the Microsoft Dynamics CRM Server for claims-based authentication
After you have installed AD FS, you need to set the Microsoft Dynamics CRM Server binding type and root domains before you enable claims-based authentication.
Set Microsoft Dynamics CRM Server binding to HTTPS and configure the root domain web addresses
1. On the Microsoft Dynamics CRM server, start the Deployment Manager.
2. In the Actions pane, click Properties.
3. Click the Web Address tab.
4. Under Binding Type, select HTTPS.
5. Verify that the web addresses are valid for your SSL certificate and the SSL port bound to the Microsoft Dynamics CRM website. Because you are configuring Microsoft
Dynamics CRM Server to use claims authentication for internal access, use the host name for the root domain web addresses.
24
For example, for a *.contoso.com wildcard certificate, you would use internalcrm.contoso.com for the web addresses.
If you install AD FS and Microsoft Dynamics CRM Server on separate servers, do not specify port 443 for the Web Application Server, Organization Web Service, or Discovery
Web Service.
6. Click OK.
Warning
If CRM for Outlook clients were configured using the old binding values, these clients will need to be configured with the new values.
The CRMAppPool account and the Microsoft Dynamics CRM encryption certificate
The certificate you specify in the Configure Claims-Based Authentication Wizard is used by AD
FS to encrypt security tokens issued to the Microsoft Dynamics CRM Server client. The
25
CRMAppPool account of each Microsoft Dynamics CRM web application must have read permission to the private key of the encryption certificate.
1. On the Microsoft Dynamics CRM server, create a Microsoft Management Console (MMC) with the Certificates snap-in console that targets the Local computer certificate store.
2. In the console tree, expand the Certificates (Local Computer) node, expand the Personal store, and then click Certificates.
3. In the details pane, right-click the encryption certificate specified in the Configure Claims-
Based Authentication Wizard, point to All Tasks, and then click Manage Private Keys.
4. Click Add, (or select the Network Service account if that is the account you used during
Setup) add the CRMAppPool account, and then grant Read permissions.
Note
You can use IIS Manager to determine what account was used during setup for the
CRMAppPool account. In the Connections pane, click Application Pools, and then check the Identity value for CRMAppPool.
5. Click OK.
Configuring claims-based authentication using the Configure Claims-
Based Authentication Wizard
Run the Configure Claims-Based Authentication Wizard to enable claims authentication on your
Microsoft Dynamics CRM Server.
26
1. On the Microsoft Dynamics CRM server, start the Deployment Manager.
2. In the Deployment Manager console tree, right-click Microsoft Dynamics CRM, and then click Configure Claims-Based Authentication.
3. Review the contents of the page, and then click Next.
4. On the Specify the security token service page, enter the federation metadata URL, such as https://sts1.contoso.com/federationmetadata/2007-06/federationmetadata.xml.
This data is typically located on the website where Active Directory Federation Services is running. To verify the correct URL, open an Internet browser and view the federation metadata URL. Verify that no certificate-related warnings appear.
5. Click Next.
6. On the Specify the encryption certificate page, specify the encryption certificate in one of two ways:
In the Certificate box, type the complete common name (CN) of the certificate by using the format CN=certificate_subject_name.
Under Certificate, click Select, and then select a certificate.
This certificate is used by AD FS to encrypt authentication security tokens that are issued to the Microsoft Dynamics CRM client.
Note
The Microsoft Dynamics CRM service account must have Read permissions for the private key of the encryption certificate. For more information, see “The
CRMAppPool account and the Microsoft Dynamics CRM encryption certificate” above.
7. Click Next.

Register the AD FS server as a service principal name (SPN)
A service principal name, also known as an SPN, is a name that uniquely identifies an instance of a service. Ensuring that the correct SPNs are set becomes important when applications such as
Microsoft Dynamics CRM, Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services, and Microsoft SQL Server are split onto multiple servers. When these applications are split across servers, the users' credentials must be passed from one server to another. This process, known as Kerberos delegation, allows a service to impersonate your credentials to another server.
For more information on SPNs, see: Configuring service principal names (SPNs)
Register the AD FS server as a service principal name (SPN)
1. Rerun the Configure Claims-Based Authentication Wizard and advance to the Specify
the security token service page. Note the AD FS server in the Federation metadata
URL (for example, sts1.contoso.com).
2. Open a command prompt.
3. Type the following commands: (replace your data in the example command below)
c:\>setspn -s http/sts1.contoso.com contoso\crmserver$
Important
If you’ve deployed AD FS on a second server, replace crmserver$ with
adfsserver$ in the above sample command. Adfsserver is the name of the
server running AD FS.
c:\>iisreset

Test internal claims-based authentication
You should now be able to access Microsoft Dynamics CRM Server internally using claims authentication. Browse to the internal Microsoft Dynamics CRM webpage (for example, https://internalcrm.contoso.com).
You will be required to log on several times to the Microsoft Dynamics CRM webpage.
Subsequent visits to the Microsoft Dynamics CRM website will only require one log on. In the browser, notice that the AD FS URL is loaded and then directed back to the Microsoft Dynamics
CRM server.
34
Troubleshooting
If the Microsoft Dynamics CRM website does not display, at a command prompt, run the iisreset command, and then try browsing to the Microsoft Dynamics CRM website again.
Try adding the following sites to your Trusted sites in your browser:
https://sts1.contoso.com – change to what use in DNS
https://internalcrm.contoso.com – change to what you use in DNS

3. Click Next.
4. On the Make Microsoft Dynamics CRM available to users who connect through the
Internet page, type the domains for the specified Microsoft Dynamics CRM Server roles,
and then click Next.
Important
Specify domains, not servers.
If your deployment is on a single server or on servers that are in the same domain, the Web Application Server domain and Organization Web Service domain will be identical.
The Discovery Web Service domain must be a resolvable host name and not a root domain. For example: dev.contoso.com.
The Discovery Web Service domain must not match an organization's Fully Qualified
Domain Name (FQDN). For example, the Discovery Web Service domain should not be: orgname.contoso.com.
The domains must be valid for the SSL certificate's common name or names.
The domains must be set to resolve correctly in DNS to your Microsoft Dynamics
CRM servers holding the server roles.
The domains can be in a different domain than the domain which the Microsoft
Dynamics CRM servers reside.
Example domains:
Web Application Server domain: contoso.com
Organization Web Service domain: contoso.com
Discovery Web Service domain: dev.contoso.com
With the example settings above, if your organization name was "orgname", clients would access your Microsoft Dynamics CRM website with the following URL:
https://orgname.contoso.com.
36
For more information about web addresses on multiple servers, see Install Microsoft
Dynamics CRM Server 2013 on multiple computers in the Microsoft Dynamics CRM
Installing Guide.
5. In the Enter the external domain where your Internet-facing servers are located box, type the external domain information where your Internet-facing Microsoft
Dynamics CRM Server servers are located, and then click Next.
The domain you specify must be a sub-domain of the Web Application Server domain specified in the previous step. By default, "auth." is pre-pended to the Web Application
Server domain.
Important
The external domain is used by the AD FS server when retrieving the Microsoft
Dynamics CRM IFD federationmetadata.xml file.
The external domain must not contain an organization name.
The external domain must not contain an underscore character (“_”).
The external domain must be valid for the SSL certificate's common name or names.
37

Discovery_Web_Service_DomainPS > $ifd.ExternalDomain =
External_Server_DomainPS >
$ifd.OrganizationWebServiceRootDomain=
Organization_Web_Service_DomainPS >
$ifd.WebApplicationRootDomain = Web_Application_Server_Domain where:
1 = "true".
Discovery_Web_Service_Domain is the Discovery Web Service domain.
External_Server_Domain is the external server domain.
Organization_Web_Service_Domain is the Organization Web Service domain.
Web_Application_Server_Domain is the Web Application Server domain.
For the domain paths, the values for the paths must be in the form: server:port or server.domain.tld:port, where:
server is the computer name
domain is the complete sub domain path where the computer is located
tld is the top level domain, such as com or org
The :port designation is required if you are not using the standard http port (80) or https port (443).
Typically, in a Full Server or Front-end Server role deployment, the path values are the same. However, if you deploy Microsoft Dynamics CRM on multiple servers with separate server roles, that is, where the Web Application Server, Organization Web Service, or
Discovery Web Service server roles are located on different servers, these path values will be different:
Web Application Server. WebApplicationServerName.domain.tld:port
Organization Web Service. OrganizationWebServiceServerName.domain.tld:port
Discovery Web Service. DiscoveryWebServiceServerName.domain.tld:port

Claims access and partner companies
To provide access to an additional federation server, for example, if you want a partner company to have access to your Microsoft Dynamics CRM Server data, the partner company’s federation server needs to have a trust relationship with your AD FS federation server. For more information about federation trusts, see Provide Users in Another Organization Access to Your Claims-Aware
Applications and Services .
Note
For users from the federated domain to have access to your domain’s CRM data, you’ll need to create CRM user accounts using their domain; for example: [email protected].
42
When creating a user for a federated domain, the user record fields are not populated from Active Directory. You will need to manually enter data such as user name, email, and phone number.
To set up a federation trust
1. On the AD FS server used with Microsoft Dynamics CRM Server, create a claims provider trust for the partner company’s federation server. Add a claims rule to pass through UPN claims. Use the following settings:
Data Source: the path to the partner company’s federation data.
Claim rule template: Pass Through or Filter an Incoming Claim
Claim rule name: Pass through UPN (or something descriptive)
Incoming claim type: UPN
Pass through all claim values
2. On the partner company’s federation server, create a relying party trust for the AD FS server used with Microsoft Dynamics CRM Server. Use the following settings:
Data Source: the path to the AD FS server used with Microsoft Dynamics CRM
Server federation data.
Rule type: Issuance Transform Rules
Claim rule template: Send LDAP Attributes as Claims
43
Claim rule name: LDAP UPN --> Claim UPN (or something descriptive)
LDAP Attribute: User-Principal-Name
Outgoing Claim Type: UPN
Configure Microsoft Dynamics CRM for Outlook to use claims-based authentication
In an environment that supports claims-based authentication, a client (such as CRM for Outlook) can use federated AD FS to connect to the Microsoft Dynamics CRM Server. The client obtains credentials through federated AD FS and uses these credentials to be authenticated on the same or a different Active Directory domain to connect to the Microsoft Dynamics CRM Server.
You can connect CRM for Outlook on one Active Directory domain to a Microsoft Dynamics CRM server in a different Active Directory domain. You can do this when the credentials that CRM for
Outlook uses on its own domain are authenticated by a server on the other domain. To make this work, use AD FS.
After federation is established, the client can use either its current domain credentials or different domain credentials when attempting to connect to the Microsoft Dynamics CRM Server. You specify which domain and which Active Directory to use through the home realm - an identity provider that authenticates the user.
Note
For external claims-based authentication deployments, use the Microsoft Dynamics CRM
Server website's external address (for example: https://orgname.contoso.com) for the
Server URL connection setting.
Set up a client for claims-based authentication
In the following procedure, you create a registry key on a single client computer. You may also want to consider using group policy so that you can make this registry change on multiple client computers.
1. Make sure that a web browser on the client can reach the Microsoft Dynamics CRM
Server URL with no certificate errors. If you use a self-signed certificate, you will need to import it to avoid certificate errors. After you import any needed certificates, you should be able to connect to the organization by using non-federated credentials.
2. To use federated credentials, specify HomeRealmUrl in the Windows registry, as shown here:
Note
This registry key is only needed if the claims provider server is different from the claims provider server used by Microsoft Dynamics CRM Server; for example,
44
the Microsoft Dynamics CRM client authenticates across realms to a different domain. a. With Administrator privileges, open the Registry Editor. b. Open the registry key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\MSCRMClient.
c. Create the registry string HomeRealmUrl. d. Enter the value data of the federated AD FS. This URL will end in
/adfs/services/trust/mex. For example, https://adfs.contoso.com/adfs/services/trust/mex. e. Close the Registry Editor. f. Configure CRM for Outlook. For more information, see Task 2: Configure Microsoft
Dynamics CRM for Outlook in the Microsoft Dynamics CRM Installing Guide.
You should now be able to connect CRM for Outlook to Microsoft Dynamics CRM Server by using claims-based authentication.
Use an administrative template (.adm) file
Modify the following sample data to create an .adm file to use group policy to publish the
HomeRealmUrl registry setting.
CLASS MACHINECATEGORY "Microsoft Dynamics CRM" KEYNAME
"Software\Policies\Microsoft\MSCRMClient" POLICY "Home Realm URL" EXPLAIN "Allow

Additional considerations
The following section covers additional considerations for your claims-based authentication deployment.
In This Section
Manually updating a claims provider
Claims-based authentication and security token expiration
System time synchronization and claims-based authentication
45
Two-way domain trusts required
Manually updating a claims provider
By default, AD FS updates a relying party trust from federation metadata every 24 hours. You should manually update the relying party trust metadata if you make any of the following changes:
You change the encryption certificate used for claims-based authentication.
You change the root domain web addresses. To view these settings: a. Start the Deployment Manager. b. In the Actions pane, click Properties. c. Click the Web Address tab.
You create a new organization. Create a DNS record for the organization before updating the metadata.
You change the domains for the server roles for Microsoft Dynamics CRM Server entered in the IFD Configuration Wizard. To view these settings: a. Start the Deployment Manager. b. In the Deployment Managerconsole tree, right-click Microsoft Dynamics CRM, and then click Configure Internet-Facing Deployment. c. Click Next.
You change the external domain.
You change the certificate common name. To view these settings: a. Start the Deployment Manager. b. In the Deployment Manager console tree, right-click Microsoft Dynamics CRM, and then click Configure Claims-based authentication. c. Click Next twice.
To manually update a relying party trust from federation metadata
1. On the AD FS server, open AD FS Management.
2. Open the Trust Relationships folder, and then click either Claims Provider Trusts or
Relying Party Trusts, depending on which trust you want to update.
3. In the details pane, right-click the claims provider trust or relying party trust that you want to update from federation metadata.
4. Click Update from Federation Metadata, and then click Update.
You can specify how often the Federation Service will monitor the federation metadata of relying parties and claims providers that are enabled for federation metadata monitoring.
46
To set the interval for monitoring metadata for trust partners using Windows
PowerShell
1. Open a Windows PowerShell prompt.
2. Set the monitoring interval:
PS > Set-ADFSProperties -MonitoringInterval <
int
> where:
<int> is the interval in minutes
Claims-based authentication and security token expiration
The lifetime of a default security token for a claims-based authentication deployment using AD FS is 60 minutes. By default, Microsoft Dynamics CRM Server is configured to display the
Authentication is Required dialog box 20 minutes before the token expires.
In the Authentication is Required dialog box, if you click Cancel, the token expires as indicated.
When the security token expires, you will need to start a new browser session to Microsoft
Dynamics CRM to access your data. Any unsaved changes will be lost.
In the Authentication is Required dialog box, if you click Sign In, the Sign-Out page appears.
When you close the Sign-Out page, one of the following occurs:
If you have not deployed an Internet-facing deployment (IFD), you will automatically reauthenticate with domain credentials and a new security token will be issued.
If you have an IFD deployment, you will be required to re-authenticate by entering your credentials on the login page.
By using Windows PowerShell, you can change the TokenLifetime property for the relying party objects that you created from 60 minutes to a longer period, such as 480 minutes (8 hours):
1. Open a Windows PowerShell prompt.
2. Add the AD FS snap-in to the Windows PowerShell session:
PS > Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.Adfs.PowerShell
3. Configure the relying party token lifetime:
PS > Get-ADFSRelyingPartyTrust -Name "
relying_party
"PS > Set-
ADFSRelyingPartyTrust -Targetname "
relying_party
" -TokenLifetime
480 where:
relying_party is the name of the relying party that you created.
For more information, see: Setting the ADFS Timeout for CRM 2011 Internet Facing Deployments
(IFD)
47
System time synchronization and claims-based authentication
The system time on the computer running the security token service (STS) must be synchronized with the computer running Microsoft Dynamics CRM. Servers on the same domain are normally synchronized automatically through the Windows Time service. If your STS server and Microsoft
Dynamics CRM Server are on separate domains, you should periodically monitor the system time on the two servers to ensure that the time difference is not greater than 5 minutes.
Enable AD FS token signing
By default, Microsoft Dynamics CRM Server does not check for the presence or validity of the AD
FS token signing certificate and does not use AD FS token signing. To enable validation and use of the AD FS token-signing certificate, create the TrustedIssuerCertificateValidation registry entry on all Front End Servers.
To create the TrustedIssuerCertificateValidation registry
1. Run regedit and locate and click the following registry subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSCRM
2. Create the following registry entry:
Value name: TrustedIssuerCertificateValidation
Value type: String
Value data: (one of the following)
Value Data
None
PeerTrust
PeerOrChainTrust
PeerOrChainTrust
Description
No validation of the certificate is done.
The certificate is valid if it is in the trusted people store.
The certificate is valid if the chain builds to a certification authority in the trusted root store.
The certificate is valid if it is in the trusted people store, or if the chain builds to a certification authority in the trusted root store.
Note
The Custom value is not supported in Microsoft Dynamics CRM Server.
3. Close the Registry Editor.
48
For more information, see X509CertificateValidationMode Enumeration .
Note the following information regarding enabling AD FS token signing:
By default, AD FS creates a self-signed certificate for signing tokens.
Note
If token signing is enabled, when the signing certificate expires AD FS creates a new signing certificate. The new signing certificate will need to be moved to the Trusted
Root Certification Authorities store of all Microsoft Dynamics CRM servers.
To use the self-signed certificate, do the following:
Export the signing certificate.
1. On the AD FS server, open AD FS Management, expand Service, and then expand
Certificates.
2. Double-click the token-signing certificate, click the Details tab, and then click Copy
to File.
3. Proceed through the Certificate Export Wizard using default values and save the certificate.
Import the signing certificate.
1. On the Microsoft Dynamics CRM server, create a Microsoft Management Console
(MMC) with the Certificates snap-in console that targets the Local computer certificate store.
2. Import the token-signing certificate into the Trusted Root Certification Authorities store.
You can use a signed certificate from a trusted CA instead of the self-signed certificate generated by AD FS.
For more information, see Certificate Requirements for Federation Servers .
Changing the SSL certificate
If you change the certificates used by Microsoft Dynamics CRM and AD FS, follow these steps.
Updating the SSL certificate
1. Add the new certificate to the AD FS server. a. Import the new certificate to the AD FS server. b. Grant the ADFSAppPool account Read permission to the new certificate c. Bind the new certificate to the AD FS website.

3. Start the Deployment Manager and run the Configure Claims-Based Authentication
Wizard to use the new certificate.
4. On the AD FS server, update all the relying party trusts used by Microsoft Dynamics
CRM.
5. If the certificate subject name changes, update the root domain web addresses to match
the new subject name. For more information, see: Configure the Microsoft Dynamics
CRM Server for claims-based authentication in this document.
6. Run the iisreset command on the AD FS and Microsoft Dynamics CRM servers.
Tip
Consider removing and unbinding the old certificate on the AD FS and Microsoft
Dynamics CRM servers.
Two-way domain trusts required
Claims-based authentication between trusted domains requires two-way domain trust. A one way domain trust will result in the following error message:

CRM for tablets and IFD
Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2013 on-premises deployments require Internet Facing Deployment
(IFD) for users to access their data on their tablets. If you have your Microsoft Dynamics CRM website available over the internet but it is not using the Microsoft Dynamics CRM IFD configuration, it is not supported. To verify that your on-premises deployment is configured for
IFD, open Microsoft Dynamics CRM Deployment Manager on your Microsoft Dynamics CRM
Server. The Authentication Summary section should show that both Claims-Based
Authentication and Internet-Facing Deployment are enabled.
50
Important
For Microsoft Dynamics CRM for tablets to successfully connect to a new deployment of
Microsoft Dynamics CRM Server 2013, you must run a Repair of Microsoft Dynamics
CRM Server 2013 on the server running IIS where the Web Application Server role is installed after the Internet-Facing Deployment Configuration Wizard is successfully completed. More information: Uninstall, change, or repair Microsoft Dynamics CRM
Server 2013 .

AD FS port conflict
When installing Microsoft Dynamics CRM on the same server as Windows Server 2012 R2 AD
FS (not a recommended scenario), you may need to change the port used by AD FS to a port other than TCP 808. Sandbox Processing Service listens on Port 808, Microsoft Dynamics CRM
Asynchronous Service and Web Application Server services communicates with the Sandbox
Processing Service on Port 808. A port conflict could also cause issues for Microsoft Dynamics
CRM Email Router, Microsoft Dynamics CRM for Outlook, and the Plug-in Registration Tool.
Check your AD FS event log for EventID 102 and the following in Exception details:
“System.ServiceModel.AddressAlreadyInUseException: There is already a listener on IP endpoint
0.0.0.0:808.”
If this exists, you need to change your AD FS port.
To change the port used by AD FS to another port such as 809, use the following PowerShell command:
Set-ADFSProperties -nettcpport 809

AD FS
Use the following to verify your AD FS settings.
Review AD FS events
1. Open Event Viewer.
2. Expand Applications and Services Logs. Expand AD FS. Click Admin.
3. Review the events looking for errors.
Events such as Event ID 184 describing an unknown relying party trust could indicate missing host records in DNS or incorrect path configuration for the relying party’s federation metadata
URL.
Verify relying party trust identifiers
1. Open the AD FS Management console.
2. Under Trust Relationships, click Relying Party Trusts. Verify the relying party trusts are enabled and not displaying an alert.
3. Right-click the relying party trust and click Properties. Click the Identifiers tab. You should see identifiers like the following.
Relying party trust for claims: internalcrm.contoso.com
53
Relying party trust for IFD: auth.contoso.com
54
If your identifiers aren’t similar to the above examples, check the path entered for the relying party’s federation metadata URL on the Monitoring tab and check your DNS records.
When attempting an internal claims-based authentication connection, you might receive prompt for your credentials. Try the following steps.
Resolve prompt for credentials
1. Add the add website address for the AD FS server (for example, https://sts1.contoso.com) to the Trusted Intranet Zone in Internet Explorer.
2. Turn off Extended Protection. On the server running IIS for the Microsoft Dynamics CRM website:
Turn off extended protection on the Microsoft Dynamics CRM website. a. Open IIS. b. Select the Microsoft Dynamics CRM website. c. Under IIS, double-click Authentication.
55
d. Right-click Windows Authentication, and then click Advanced Settings. e. Set Extended Protection to Off.
For more AD FS troubleshooting information
1. See the following: Troubleshoot AD FS 2.0
HTTP Error 401.1 - Unauthorized: Access is denied
If the Microsoft Dynamics CRM website fails to display or produces the following error: HTTP
Error 401.1 - Unauthorized: Access is denied, there are two steps to try to resolve this issue:
1. You might need to update the Federation metadata URLs and do an IIs reset. See
KB2686840 .
2. You might need to register the AD FS server as a service principal name (SPN). See
“Register the AD FS server as a service principal name (SPN)” in the downloadable document .
Time differs between two servers
An authentication error can occur if the time between the AD FS and the Microsoft Dynamics
CRM server differs by more than 5 minutes. See Windows Time Service Technical Reference for information on how to configure time synchronization on your servers.

Example DNS Settings – AD FS and Microsoft Dynamics CRM on the same server
The following are example DNS settings for a single-server deployment. A single domain – contoso.local – is used for internal access. A publicly registered domain – contoso.com – is used for external Microsoft Dynamics CRM access. Contoso.com can also be used for internal access.
A single public IP address is required for external access to Microsoft Dynamics CRM.
The following table contains records configured in the Internal DNS Zone: contoso.local.

The Microsoft Dynamics CRM IFD federation endpoint. This record will be used by the AD FS server when retrieving the Microsoft Dynamics
CRM IFD federationmetadata.xml file.
For Windows Server 2008 or Windows Server 2012, you must append a port number to the URL in a single server installation. Appending a port number is required on a single server installation where Microsoft Dynamics CRM uses a non-default website with binding to a port other than the standard 443 port.
Set Microsoft Dynamics CRM Server binding to HTTPS and configure the root domain web addresses
1. On the Microsoft Dynamics CRM server, start the Deployment Manager.
2. In the Actions pane, click Properties.
3. Click the Web Address tab.
4. Under Binding Type, select HTTPS.
5. Verify that the web addresses are valid for your SSL certificate and the SSL port bound to the Microsoft Dynamics CRM website. Because you are configuring Microsoft
Dynamics CRM Server to use claims authentication for internal access, use the host name for the root domain web addresses. The port number should match the settings for the Microsoft Dynamics CRM website in IIS.
For example, for a *.contoso.com wildcard certificate, you would use internalcrm.contoso.com:444 for the web addresses.
If you install AD FS and Microsoft Dynamics CRM Server on separate servers, do not specify port 443 for the Web Application Server, Organization Web Service, or Discovery
58
Web Service.
6. Click OK.
Warning
If CRM for Outlook clients were configured using the old binding values, these clients will need to be configured with the new values.
Configure AD FS on Windows Server 2012
This topic provides information that is unique to Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS) in
Windows Server 2012 (not R2). First configure IFD and claims as described in this article, and then follow the instructions below to complete the AD FS configuration. In addition, your Microsoft
Dynamics CRM 2011 server must be running Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 Update Rollup 13 or later.
Configure a Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 Advanced Setting
At the time of this writing, AD FS has a known issue publishing metadata for MEX endpoints.
After configuring claims, MEX endpoints are no longer reachable which an administrator sees as an invalid URL. This problem applies to AD FS in Windows Server 2012 only. AD FS 2.0
59
(Windows Server 2008), and AD FS in Windows Server 2012 R2 will continue to automatically configure the MEX endpoints correctly.
When using AD FS in Windows Server 2012, it is necessary to update an advanced setting on a
Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 (on-premises) server deployment. The following procedure describes how to configure the server setting.
How to Configure the ActiveMexEndpoint Advanced Setting
1. Log on as administrator to a Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 server that has the
Deployment Manager installed.
If you have more than one server with Deployment Manager installed, perform these steps on only one deployment server in your deployment.
2. Create a PowerShell script file named UpdateMEXEndpoint.ps1 using the PowerShell
ISE or your favorite editor.
3. Copy the following PowerShell code, paste it into the file you just created, and save the file.
Param
(
#optional params
[string]$ConfigurationEntityName="FederationProvider",
[string]$SettingName="ActiveMexEndpoint",
[object]$SettingValue,
[Guid]$Id
)
$RemoveSnapInWhenDone = $False if (-not (Get-PSSnapin -Name Microsoft.Crm.PowerShell -
ErrorAction SilentlyContinue))
{
Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.Crm.PowerShell
$RemoveSnapInWhenDone = $True
}
//For AD FS 2.1, use the following:
$Id=(Get-CrmAdvancedSetting -ConfigurationEntityName
FederationProvider -Id 26332692-CD1E-4DD6-BD5B-07326C43302E -
Setting ActiveMexEndpoint).Attributes[0].Value
60
//For AD FS 2.0 or AD FS 2.2, use the following:
$Id=(Get-CrmAdvancedSetting -ConfigurationEntityName
FederationProvider -Setting
ActiveMexEndpoint).Attributes[0].Value
$setting = New-Object
"Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk.Deployment.ConfigurationEntity"
$setting.LogicalName = $ConfigurationEntityName if($Id) { $setting.Id = $Id }
$setting.Attributes = New-Object
"Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk.Deployment.AttributeCollection"
$keypair = New-Object
"System.Collections.Generic.KeyValuePair[String, Object]"
($SettingName, $SettingValue)
$setting.Attributes.Add($keypair)
Set-CrmAdvancedSetting -Entity $setting if($RemoveSnapInWhenDone)
{
Remove-PSSnapin Microsoft.Crm.PowerShell
}
4. Run the preceding shell script from within a PowerShell window using the following command. Substitute the name of your configured AD FS host for <ADFS STSHOST> in the command.
UpdateMEXEndpoint.ps1 –SettingValue “https://<ADFS
STSHOST>/adfs/services/trust/mex”
For example, if your STS is using sts.contoso.com, the command would be:
UpdateMEXEndpoint.ps1 –SettingValue
“https://sts.contoso.com/adfs/services/trust/mex”
Running this command will update your Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 deployment to connect to AD FS using the endpoint provided in the SettingValue parameter.
For more information about the Set-CrmAdvancedSetting cmdlet, see the “Read and Update
Advanced Settings with PowerShell” section of Use Advanced Configuration Settings (ConfigDB) .
