Hi,

What about multi-tenancy? Do you have any idea how to achieve that?

Hi, I deployed IFD by using the CRM40IFDTool but I'm having big issues to configure my Outlook Clients in order to access CRM from the Internet.

Scenario:

-Outlook Clients work fine from the internal network BUT they have to be attached to the domain and they have to log in as domain users onto the machine.

-web interface works fine from inside and outside

-Outlook clients do NOT work over the internet. I'm able to establish the initial connection but when the Organization associated page comes up, I see no organization listed. I tried to trace this problem from my firewall and I saw a 401 authentication error. The client is able to reach the URL http://PCname.domainname.com/MSCRMServices/2007/SPLA/CrmDiscoveryService.asmx as anonymous user but then it is not able to switch to integrated Windows security.

One more thing: if I try to browse the signin.aspx page from IE I get the Windows logon prompt first and then the signin.aspx page as shown above.

Please help!!!this is a blocking issue for me!

I've just deployed a multi-tenant CRM 4.0 (sitting on HMC 4.0) it's not too bad. The main key points I'd recommend are;

Ensure you have a wildcard SSL

In DNS setup a wildcard A record (can only be done through the command line if you using Windows Server DNS, so when you create new CRM organisations, you don't need to keep updating DNS with the orgname.domain.com pointing to your CRM site.

I you're using ISA 2006 like us, make sure the listener and publishing rule are correct e.g. *.domain.com for the published site etc.

I'd read about having to add host headers to IIS, but as it turned out I didn't need to thankfully otherwise it's a bit pointless doing multi-tenancy as you'd need to contstantly update the web site with new host headers.

hi for IFD to work pl. ensure that your website is enabled to work in anonymous mode in IIS.

Also pl. ensure that under your website in IIS, MSCRMServices, 2007 and SPLA folder are all enabled for anonymous access. Some times when you flip the top root node of the site to anonymous, these folder do not get set correctly for anonymous access.

Also if you are accessing the signin page from outside network and seeing the AD popup. pl double check the access mode on the signin page and all its parent folders in the IIS.

We are thinking of having the IFD CRM server on our DMZ zone (out side of domain firwall) and allow the network traffic through firewall. When we do this setup what Server Role needs to be installed on the IFD CRM server?

I have completed the IFD+On Premise setup on CRM 4.0 with Update Rollup 5 installed. I now run into the situation where I get the Integrated Windows Authentication (IWA) login prompt then I am redirected to the Forms Based login.

How do I bypass the IWA completely?

FYI, I had it working properly for some time but recently the IWA has made its way back.

Ignore my previous post. But please do leave the post for others to view.

The problem was that I went into super-Network mode and entered the true class C subnet mask (255.255.255.0).

I changed it to a full 32-bit mask (255.255.255.255) and it works as expected.
