NAV2013 How to make 'User & Password' users??

vri1146

Hi there everyone,

I have an issue to make users on NAV 2013 which use user & password. Because no matter how many times i tried to make user & password users, i ended up login with Windows Authentication. Is there any possible ways to make a 'pure' user & password users?
Sorry for the bad grammar.

Thanks.

You can't have multiple login-types on a service tier. So if you have Windows logins, you can't use the others.

BUT if you want also other logins, you MUST create another service tier which you configure to use the other login type.

And then you must direct the different login types to the correct service tier.

Hi vri1146,

NAV 2013 is supported NavUserName and Password Login. But you need to configure for it.

Thanks for your tips. But now i have another issue. After i made NAV service with NAVUserPassword, the service cannot be started. Is there any other way to make this service works?

Thanks.

Well in fact there's no error, but the problem after i made NAV Instance using NAVUserPassword credential type the services wont start at all. But when i changed it to Windows credential type and start it, no problem at all.

Thanks.

@yukon : sorry, is it my custom setting config file or instance config file?

Thanks.

Hi,
Custom setting. Under service folder.

The service itself is still using Windows authentication of course. Are you sure, that you are running the service under known account?

Hi vri1146,

Where is your "ClientServicesCertificateThumbprint" value in CustomSettings file. Value should be like that

<add key="ClientServicesCertificateThumbprint" value="58 a2 cd e4 6f 40 a7 20 87 d0 89 3d d2 0b 54 ce ad d4 81 99" />

You will be get below error message when you start the service. Because of you are using "NavUserPassword" but you haven't set "ClientServicesCertificateThumbprint" (ClientServicesCertificate).

Did you follow walkthrough example? I think you didn't follow walkthrough or miss out some step.
