i.e. you should be able to grant permissions, delete the file, and watch a new version maigically appear – eliminating the step where you have to find a copy on another pc.

I am kind of new at this so I thought I was just having a hard time following along, but the more I learn and the more I read and the more products I learn to install and configure, like SharePoint and CRM, the more I think that there really isnt one single person who really knows how to install or configure any of these products. There are mistakes all through the code and the instructions…maybe they should make it all open source and let the people sort it all out..? That’s what ends up happening in the end anyway. When you read the instructions and nothing works, we all end up doing an internet search for a post like the one above from someone, or usually a combination of some extremely smart people who have cracked the mystery of how to install these products.

The good part is that once they are up and running, we have some of the best tools available. But the more I learn, the more worried I am getting that there is total confusion at the other end of all this code..?

Thanks alot for your post here. Every step worked perfectly!

I had the same problem but in my case the solution was different. It was due to a wrong configuration in the CRM Database. I have described how to fix it in my blog : http://laurentbel.com/2011/12/16/dynamics-crm-2011-error-only-secure-content-is-displayed/

From my perspective allowing mixed content is not really a solution, because you don’t fix the root cause of the problem. If you configured CRM to use HTTPS, it simply should not use HTTP…

Hope this will help someone. And congrats for your blog, he is just amazing, really.

net_path = “//” net_loc [ abs_path ]

(this does make it invalid in the context of an email, but outlook is still doing the WRONG THING)

But thanks for reading our stuff. Hope it helped!

Don’t feel bad that Microsoft make this hard. It is a reflection on them not you! They like to build little clubs of acronym dropping “tossers” who have experienced pain before you have. They call these people server administrators… (alas I am in the club)

1. How if I want to implement ADFS and CRM with seperate server for IFD? I’ve read Microsoft guide did mentioned the following.
“Note: Setting the port number to a port other than 443 is not needed if your AD FS server and your Microsoft Dynamics CRM Server 2011 are separate servers.”

2. Which IP should I point to if my ADFS and CRM are seperate server?
sts.domain.com > CRM or ADFS ???????
auth.domain.com > CRM or ADFS ????
dev.domain.com > CRM or ADFS

3. If i register a public cert. can i just register under *.domain.com ? Or sts, auth, dev each subdomain require dedicated certficate?

Sorry that I’m really noob with ADFS.. appreaciate someone can help me with a guide.. thanks in advanced!!!

Incidentally, I didn’t disable. I uninstalled. When I did, Skype tried reinstalling the plug-in.

Thanks for your reply!

I tried to hit the URL from another computer; though I was able to access the .xml file, the browser threw a certificate error.

Can you kindly let me know, whether there are any free Certificate Issuing Authorities? And will the certificate error get resolved if I can get a certificate from them?

Thanks,
Kruba

Also, you should be sure that the post is specified in the path, so that the return is running on the correct port.

Thanks for providing such a detailed insight of the installing and configuration process!

I’m trying to configure “Claims-Based Authentication in Dynamics CRM 2011″.
During the system checks, CRM Deployment Manager throws the below error
“The federation metadata URL is not available”

I tried to access the federation metadata URL and was able to access the .xml file without any issue.

Kindly help me with a solution.

Thanks,
Kruba

I am using your trial version of Advanced login and not able to get Linkedin button on the form.

Please help me.

As for extensions and other garbage installed with a user’s knowledge or that negatively affect a user’s experience, it’s wrong.

Someone engineers an extension or app and they can’t determine that it screws with popular browsers or programs? Embarrassing! Fire the box up, run through some checks, and then send it to the field.

No wonder Apple runs circles around other tech companies.

Thanks for that “solution” but I want the Skype to Call be running and working as it does in FF and other Browsers.

Now whatever you say about Skype and MSFT may be true – but Google is even worse simply trying to make us use their products by telling us to uninstall this Extension instead of solving the problem and fixing the bug in their Browser.

to submit details about your site and host login. We will take a look for you.

Very gud module.i am using your trial version and not able to get the fb button on the login page.

Please help me.
