BC On-Prem NAVUserPassword Web Client

airam

Dear All,

I have a BC On-Prem Instance working fine with Windows credentials, both the windows and web clients. However, as soon as I change the credential type to NAVUserPassword, the web client gives me an error of Communication Protocol Mismatch, but the windows client works well.

I followed this blog and it seems I'm missing something in step 7 last point as in the web config file there isn't a key for authentication type. I changed the ClientServicesCredentialType in the navsettings.json file but to no avail.

any help is much appreciated.

Thanks!

Hi @airam,
Do you want the windows client to work with windows credentials and the webclient to work with NavUserPassword? or do you want both client to work with NavUserPassword?

Thanks for your reply.

I want both working with NAVUserPassword for now, eventually will try out separate login types, in that case I need 2 separate instances right? but for the time being I need to get both clients working with NavUserPassword

p.s. not sure if it makes a difference, but my environment is multitenant

airam

any tips please? where else should I change the CredentialsType apart from the 'navsettings' and 'CustomSettings'

First of all you need a Service- Tier that is configured to use NavUserPassword.
Then you have to connect and configure your IIS- Nav- Webclient-Instance to use NAVUserPassword and to connect to the new Service- Tier.
At last you may create new Users in NAV with NavUserPassword or set a password for the already created Windows- User. Then the Windows-Users can login with their "DOMAIN\UserName"- Windows- Username, and the assigned password.

Have you set a Business Central password for the account you're using?
You need to set it before you change credentials type(from the users page).

Thanks for your feedback!

I had already a service configured with NAVUserPassword and set an account with a password.

I realised now that I had the DNS Identity missing from the navsettings file.

It is now working, thanks for your replies!
