Codice dell'helper: classe di ServerConnection

 

Data di pubblicazione: novembre 2016

Si applica a: Dynamics CRM 2015

Lo scopo principale della classe ServerConnection è di indicare come connettersi ai servizi Web Aggiornamento di Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2015 e Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online 2015 per richiamare i metodi Web. Inoltre, le applicazioni devono in genere eseguire altre attività come ottenere il server e le informazioni dell'organizzazione, le credenziali di accesso degli utenti, creare un proxy del servizio e aggiornare il token di sicurezza delle connessioni WCF. La classe ServerConnection fornisce la funzionalità necessaria.

Attenzione

La classe ServerConnection è utilizzata dalla maggior parte di esempi contenenti Microsoft Dynamics CRM SDK. La classe viene periodicamente aggiornata con nuove funzionalità. Non riutilizzare semplicemente il codice dell'helper per l'autenticazione nelle applicazioni. È il codice che Microsoft Dynamics CRM SDK utilizza per fornire l'esperienza ottimale durante l'esecuzione dei nostri esempi di applicazione console inclusi in SDK. Contiene tutti gli elementi chiave di autenticazione e illustra il relativo utilizzo, ma potrebbe non rappresentare la soluzione migliore per l'applicazione. È il codice di esempio che è possibile utilizzare come base per creare un sistema di gestione di autenticazione più appropriato per i requisiti dell'applicazione. Fare riferimento all'argomento Connessione semplificata a Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2015 per un metodo alternativo per l'autenticazione con i servizi Web.

Scarica il pacchetto SDK di Microsoft Dynamics CRM. Questo esempio si può trovare nel percorso seguente:

SDK\SampleCode\CS\HelperCode\CrmServiceHelpers.cs

SDK\SampleCode\VB\HelperCode\CrmServiceHelpers.vb

Utilizzare il codice sorgente di classe nei file CrmServiceHelpers come base per le proprie classi o utilizzare la classe CrmConnection solo per le funzionalità di base di impostazione di una connessione di servizio.

Requisiti

Per ulteriori informazioni sui requisiti per l'esecuzione del codice di esempio fornito nell'SDK, vedi Utilizzare il codice di esempio e dell'helper.

Dimostra

La classe ServerConnection illustra come configurare una connessione ai servizi Web Microsoft Dynamics 365 con lo scopo di richiamare i metodi Web. Prima di poter creare una connessione, è necessario ottenere informazioni sul server, sull'organizzazione e sull'utente. Queste informazioni vengono riunite in uno dei due modi seguenti: in modo interattivo richiedendo l'utente nella finestra della console o caricando le informazioni di configurazione del server salvato nel disco locale. Le informazioni di connessione al server vengono salvate in modo permanente in un file denominato Credentials.xml disponibile su C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\CrmServer.

Per la configurazione di ogni server salvata nel file Credentials.xml, la password di accesso dell'utente è archiviata come una credenziale generica in Gestione credenziali di Windows. Il formato di denominazione della credenziale è Microsoft_CRMSDK:<server>:<organization>:<userID>.

È possibile trovare il codice utile per l'autenticazione nei metodi GetOrganizationProxy e GetProxy. Inoltre, il codice che crea e legge una password utente in Gestione credenziali di Windows può essere di interesse.
