Authentication Online

For accessing APIs in Dynamics Empire Online we support two authentication methods:

• Basic authentication (deprecated as June 2022)
• Oauth2

All accounts in Dynamics Online are created in Azure Active Directory and needs to get assigned a full BC License.

For basi authentication a combination of username and password is used to authenticate: Username = AAD account without @domainname
Password = Web API key

Oauth2

As of June 2022 the only method to authenticate against Dynamics Empire Online is through OAuth. See details about different oAuth flows:

• Using Service-To-Service (S2S) Authentication (Prefered >=R2109)
• Get Access through OAuth ROPC Flow (only option till R2109)
• Get Access through OAuth using Postman

Basic Authentication

Deprecated as of June 2022

For basic Authentication username and Web API key are used to grant access. To create a web API key:

• Logon to Business Central webclient, with the account needed for the API
• Navigate to page Users
• Generate a web API key (Make sure to copy all content)
