Fix Plugin Registration Tool Connection Issues with Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) Enabled in Dynamics 365

Hi Folks,

It’s been a since I posted on Dynamics 365 Plugins, so this blog post talks about one small tip when connecting to your Dynamics 365 instance from Plugin Registration Tool either if you were connecting from Standalone Plugin Registration Tool or using Plugin Registration Tool from XrmToolBox.

If you were looking to install plugin registration tool itself, you can check the below post or if you want to learn about all Plugin related issues at once, you can check the references at the bottom of this post, else you can continue reading this post.

Another way to install Plugin Registration Tool for Dynamics 365 CE from Nuget

If you don’t know this tip, it will be difficult and least you will spend many minutes figuring out the error message you see in the Plugin registration tool.

This is applicable for applications who have MFA enabled, even if you haven’t enabled, it was enabled by Microsoft by default to enforce security.

As usually, you select:

  1. Office 365
  2. Enable Display list of available organizations, Show Advanced
  3. Provide User Name, Password
  4. Click on Login

You will be prompted this error in such case

Based on the above inner exception, we can clearly understand that it is looking for Multifactor Authentication, so untick the Show Advanced checkbox, it then asks for Multifactor Authentication as shown below.

That’s it, with this simple tick of unchecking the Show Advanced, you were able to overcome this error, how cool is it…?

I have written lot of articles with respect to Plugin registration tool, you can check them below

Hope this helps…

Update user personal settings Automatically easily when a new user gets added to Dynamics 365 Environments

Hi Folks,

In the Dynamics 365 world, it’s all about efficiently handling the user requests. Whenever you add any user to the environment, the system will update the default personal settings for the user. Maybe you could have some processes in your system which is dependent on the user time zone. So, setting the time zone is very important. It is tedious to update the personal settings manually going to the user profile and updating it manually every time.

In case you want to do it for all users at one time during initial setup, you can follow my blog post Update Model Driven App Personal Settings from XrmToolBox.

Of course, you have a wonderful tool in XrmToolBox from which we will be able to set the User Personal Settings in bulk so that we can update to all the users in one go. What if we want to automate this process, i.e. whenever you add a new user to the Dynamics 365 environment, you want to set that person time zone automatically without any manual intervention.

There you go…this post is for you then…you can do it simply using Plugin or Power Automate. In this blog post, we will see how we can utilize the Plugin as it is more effective approach.

You need to write a Plugin on Associate Message.

Just use this piece of code to set Personal settings…

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.ServiceModel;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk;
using Microsoft.Crm.Sdk;
using Microsoft.Crm.Sdk.Messages;
namespace Ecellors_Demo
{
public class Demo : IPlugin
{
public void Execute(IServiceProvider serviceProvider)
{
// Obtain the tracing service
ITracingService tracingService =
(ITracingService)serviceProvider.GetService(typeof(ITracingService));
// Obtain the execution context from the service provider.
IPluginExecutionContext context = (IPluginExecutionContext)
serviceProvider.GetService(typeof(IPluginExecutionContext));
IOrganizationServiceFactory serviceFactory =
(IOrganizationServiceFactory)serviceProvider.GetService(typeof(IOrganizationServiceFactory));
IOrganizationService service = serviceFactory.CreateOrganizationService(context.UserId);
if (context.InputParameters.Contains("Relationship"))
{
var relationshipName = context.InputParameters["Relationship"].ToString();
try
{
if (relationshipName != "systemuserroles_association.")
{
return;
}
if (context.MessageName == "Associate")
{
//logic when role added
var updateUserSettingsRequest = new UpdateUserSettingsSystemUserRequest();
updateUserSettingsRequest.Settings = new Entity("usersettings");
updateUserSettingsRequest.UserId = context.UserId;
updateUserSettingsRequest.Settings.Attributes["timezonecode"] = 215;//Singapore timezone
service.Execute(updateUserSettingsRequest);
}
if (context.MessageName == "Disassociate")
{
//logic when role removed
var updateUserSettingsRequest = new UpdateUserSettingsSystemUserRequest();
updateUserSettingsRequest.Settings = new Entity("usersettings");
updateUserSettingsRequest.UserId = context.UserId;
updateUserSettingsRequest.Settings.Attributes["timezonecode"] = 0;//UTC timezone
service.Execute(updateUserSettingsRequest);
}
else
{
return;
}
}
catch (FaultException<OrganizationServiceFault> ex)
{
throw new InvalidPluginExecutionException("An error occurred in UserSettingsPlugin.", ex);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
tracingService.Trace("UserSettingsPlugin: {0}", ex.ToString());
throw;
}
}
}
}
}

Update the personal settings as per your needs in this request. You can find all the attributes of the user settings table by using Fetch Xml Builder easily.

Hope this helps someone.
