  Hi Sanatan,

  There are several authentication mechanisms built in to the CRM web services. See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg328497.aspx for a description.

  Thanks for the reply. I am new to MS CRM and couldn't understand much about authentication mechanisms from the website (link) you provided. I am currently using following type of code, what do I need to write in the following code for security in authentication mechanism :

  
  

  string userName = "username@orgname.onmicrosoft.com";   
  string password = "password";  
  
  ClientCredentials Credentials = new ClientCredentials();
  Credentials.UserName.UserName = username;
  Credentials.UserName.Password = password;
  
  string organizationName = string.Empty;
  Uri organizationUrl = new Uri("https://orgname.api.crm5.dynamics.com/XRMServices/2011/Organization.svc");
  			
  using (OrganizationServiceProxy serviceProxy = 
  new OrganizationServiceProxy(organizationUrl, null, Credentials, GetDeviceCredentials()))
  {
  IOrganizationService service = (IOrganizationService)serviceProxy;
  
  var accounts = service.RetrieveMultiple(accountQuery);
  }

  Hi Sanatan,

  Sorry for another link but there's no point me re-explaining the wheel. See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh675404.aspx for an example of authenticating user in CRM2011.

  Hi

     If you are working on crm online then you need to provide device credentials.

  otherwise no need. 

  try this code

  string userName = "username@orgname.onmicrosoft.com";   
  string password = "password"; 
      ClientCredentials credentials = new ClientCredentials();
     
              credentials.UserName.UserName = username;
  
              credentials.UserName.Password = Password;
  
          string 	dusername ="11rx1xmpphty25uqgq23j001z";
  		string duserid ="/nya`b!KjM_Ow/M,3f/ioa";
  
           ClientCredentials deviceCredentials = new ClientCredentials();
              deviceCredentials.UserName.UserName = dusername";
              deviceCredentials.UserName.Password =duserid";
    Uri organizationUri;
              organizationUri = new Uri("https://crmlahore.api.crm5.dynamics.com/XRMServices/2011/Organization.svc");
            Uri homeRealmUri;
              homeRealmUri = null;
              using (OrganizationServiceProxy serviceProxy = new OrganizationServiceProxy(organizationUri, homeRealmUri, credentials, deviceCredentials))
              {

              using (OrganizationServiceProxy serviceProxy = new OrganizationServiceProxy(organizationUri, homeRealmUri, credentials, deviceCredentials))
              {

  
  

  
  Thanks for the reply Riaz, I am passing "DeviceCredentials" and "CleintCredentials"  in the constructor "OrganizationServiceProxy", but is it enough for the security since the "ClientCredentials" contain username and password. So is there any way I can generate token, access key etc. rather than directly passing username and password ?
