Configuring Dynamics NAV Web Client for ACS

Important

ACS namespace creation has been restricted, and Access Control Service will be retired soon. For more information, see https://aka.ms/accesscontrolservice.

You configure the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Web client for Access Control Service (ACS) by editing the configuration file. The configuration file is an .xml file that you can edit with a text editor, such as Notepad. By default, the configuration file is located in the C:\Program Files\Microsoft Dynamics NAV\110\Web Client\ folder.

Before you begin this procedure, you must perform the steps to configure your deployment for ACS. For more information, see Authenticating Users with Microsoft Azure Access Control Service.

To configure the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Web client for ACS

  1. Edit the web server configuration file (web.config) for each instance of the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Web Server components that will be supporting users for ACS authentication.

    A separate instance of the configuration file is maintained for each server instance. The default location for this file is C:\Program Files\Microsoft Dynamics NAV\110\WebClient\.

    Caution

    To ensure that your edits to web.config are saved, first open Notepad as an Administrator and then, in Notepad, open the settings file. To open Notepad as an Administrator, from the Start menu, right-click Notepad, and then choose Run as Administrator.

  2. In the configuration file, modify the following setting.

    Setting Value
    ClientServicesCredentialType "AccessControlService"
  3. After updating the values, save ClientUserSettings.config.
