I have a C# console App which uses the below connection string and it works fine, when i run it it asks for the password and once authenticated it works perfectly and i can access dynamics crm online database. However now i want to move the code and use Azure Function, when in Visual Studio it works same as in Console App but the interactive Azure AD authentication won't work when it is published to Azure. Does anybody has any idea how to implement this. I can't find any article where i can see any Demo or documentation.
string ConnectionStringTDS = #"Driver={ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server};SERVER=*******.crm.dynamics.com;DATABASE=******;Authentication=ActiveDirectoryInteractive;UID=XRMDe**#****.com";
I have enabled TDS to access database using SQL Query. MFA is enabled in my account. Using service principal.
you need Application user i.e OAuth2 authentication to connect with Dynamics. with username and password and login prompt is not the way.
enabling TDS endpoint will not help you in connection via c# on Azure functions
Take a look at this article.
Create App Registration in Azure AD (clinet ID and secret)
Create Application user in Dynamics.(assign correct security role)
use this clientId and secret to get authentication Token in C#.
use .netcore SDK for Dynamics to perform CURD operations

I Need help with APP ID service in IBM Cloud.
I have a configuration with a Loopback application residing in IBM Cloud which uses the APP ID service to perform SSO automated login.
APP ID service is configured with one identity provider:
SAML 2.0 Federation
SAML Federation is configured to work with ADFS which I have setup with an Azure virtual machine for test and our customers production ADFS.
The solution works and my SSO request is relayed:
> APP ID > ADFS
and authentication is performed and I can log in to the system.
Problem:
The problem is that ADFS is always using the Form-based Authentication, but I need to use the Windows Integrated Authentication i.e. the customer when logged in to the corporate network is never asked for credentials.
I have together with the ADFS administrator troubleshoot the windows side and can not see any irregularities.
Questions:
Does APP ID service support Windows Integrated Authentication and what can I do to enable it?
How to troubleshoot the workings of APP ID service, logs, etc.
You can customize the AuthnContext using the management API -
https://<region-endpoint>.appid.cloud.ibm.com/swagger-ui/#/Management%20API%20-%20Identity%20Providers/mgmt.set_saml_idp
urn:federation:authentication:windows is currently not supported.
However, you can try updating the authnContext to either urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:ac:classes:unspecified or just an empty object ("authnContext": {})
In my experience, it works for me by updating with an empty object.

I am new to D365/PowerApps and wonder if i have a Azure Service, (Azure Functions or WebAPP) that is secured with Azure AD tokens (App Registrations).
Can I get an Access Token to my external services using Azure AD from within a plugin step in d365? How do I get such token on behalf of the context the plugin when running as a user.
You'll need to use Flow and compose a http request to get the token:
https://flow.microsoft.com/en-us/galleries/public/templates/edfa8fde25644f149448c8d8cff44699/call-a-web-service-from-a-powerapp/
Here's a good explanation on how to do it using the REST API:

If I understand your question correct,
You have an Azure function APP or external azure service and that is secured by creating Azure AD App with it's roles delegation and so on.
Now you need Access token for this Azure APP with client ID and Client Secret.
We had this similar thing in Dynamics 365 i.e When we wish to use Dynamics 365 Webapi, We need to create Azure AD App and then provide roles delegation so that this app will have access to Dynamics 365.
In Plugin we can give details with client Id and Secret and then generate Token which will be used for Furthure process during plugin Execution.
Note: Most of these plugins we run under System context.
Here are few examples which will lead you to your desired direction.
Most of the Examples also talk about creating Non-Interactive user in Dynamics but in your case that shall not be needed because you are not communicating with Dynamics via (Azure AD App) rather you communicate with Azure functions or so on.

I am trying to create an AD application using .net, I am able to create it with Microsoft.Azure.ActiveDirectory.GraphClient. But why I am supposed to create a native AD Application in the Azure portal prior to creation of AD Application in .net
My question is, will I be able to create a AD application without client Id of a native app?
In short no.
When you create application you need to require Delegate permission or Application permission. To assign the permission to user, you need to use app to act as an agent.
You could use the following code to get the ad token, you need to give the client id of the native app which you have granted delegate permission. You also could grant Application permission to a Web app/API which you use client id and client secret to acquire token.
var result = await authenticationContext.AcquireTokenAsync(graphResourceId, clientId, new UserPasswordCredential(userName, password));
BTW, Azure portal is an enterprise application.So, when we login and create Azure AD App, it also get the client id of azure portal.
You can simply publish your native .NET application using AAD Application Proxy. There are a number of samples that show how to do this. You need to publish your application through the application proxy and register it as a Native app.
This document details all of the steps for this: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/manage-apps/application-proxy-configure-native-client-application
We have successfully integrated our web application to utilize Azure AD for authentication using a SAML2 component called SAML SSO from ComponentPro, but our application also provides for a user to sometimes submit their Username and Password (it's configurable) in order to check in a document or approve a revision. SAML has no provision for passing a username and password back to the IdP for "re-verification," so that's not an option.
What we'd like to do in this case is to integrate the Microsoft Authenticator tool so that when using Azure AD as the Authentication source, instead of prompting the user for their username and password, we prompt them for their Authenticator code that corresponds to their Business-created Azure Active Directory Account.
We've created the Microsoft Application, have the Application ID and the Application Secret Password, but searching everywhere, I can't find anything to finish this seemingly simple task.
Your assistance will be greatly appreciated!
All The Best,
John
Have a look at this https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/manage-apps/application-proxy-connectors
MFA (including the Authenticator app) and OTP-only authentication are available with Azure AD (Now even with the Azure AD free plan) and the link offers some more information on how to integrate with your application.
I'm using Xamarin Forms and Windows Azure for SQL Database. In the last version of windows azure they give you an application key to avoid unauthorized access to the web services but now they remove the application key and now they are using authentication through Facebook, google, etc.
The question is I want to protect my web services but I don't want to use facebook or google authorization because I'm using my own login and password.
I want my web services unprotect
I want to protect my tables but I receive and error while reading the data
According to your screenshot, I assumed that you are using Easy tables with access permission. As I known, when you add a new table under Easy tables, it would automatically create the related Node.js back-end, you could go to App Service Editor (Preview) in the Development Tools section of your mobile app as follows:
For Node.js back-end custom authentication, you need to set auth congiguration for your server side, and build your custom login endpoint to validate the client and generate the JWT token for your client. Here is a similar issue, you could refer to here.
Additionally, you could build the C# back-end by yourself and deploy to the mobile app. For custom authentication, you could refer to adrian hall's book about Mobile Apps Custom authentication. For data access, you need to build table controller for each of your SQL table, you could refer to Implementing Table Controllers.
Note:
You must turn on Authentication / Authorization in your App Service. Set the Action to take when request is not authenticated to Allow Request (no action) and do not configure any of the supported authentication providers.
For client app, you could leverage Azure Mobile Client SDK for connecting with your azure mobile app backend. For more details, you could refer to this tutorial about working with managed client for Azure Mobile Apps.
