NAV 2013 UserPassword Credential Thumbprint error

cokamaksimovic

Hi guys !

I have been trying to use NavUserPassword credential type in NAV 2013 and have tried to implement security sertificates according to http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg502478(v=nav.70).aspx

The problem occurs when I try to copy the thumbprint value from the certificate details into NAV Server configuration. The error is attached.

Please, if anyone has had this issue, any advice on how to solve this is greatly appreciated.

Thanx

Hi,

While Copying thumbprint please make sure that you only copy the thumbprint only, the thumbprint value start with a SPACE.

You can see the screen shot of same in the post - http://saurav-nav.blogspot.in/2012/12/nav-2013-credential-type-how-to-use.html

let me know if you still have the issue.

Hi cokamaksimovic,

I believe you copied from Certificate Dialog box and pasted it. You can try below method.
1. download and install NotePad++ http://notepad-plus-plus.org/download/v6.4.1.html
2. Open program, past your copied value and check funny character (Menu Encoding - Encode in ASNI). Or you can use other software for checking funny character.

Regards,
Yukon

Thanks guys for your replies, I will give it a go today and let you know how it went.

FIY, I am doing this on a machine running Windows 8, so, maybe this could be an issue ?

Cheers !

Works !

I downloaded the notepad++, copy + paste thumbprint value into it, and it showed a "?" at the beginning of the thumbprint.

Thanks once again, hopefully this helps other people as well.

Cheers

You don't even need Notepad ++ just type the values in manually instead of copy and paste.
