  you've not set the token AuthenticationType ...

  
  

  token.AuthenticationType = 0; //AD - there are other values for IFD and Crm

  Hi there,
  
  I have made the changes as suggested:
  
  

   

  public static CrmService GetCrmService(string crmServerUrl, string organizationName)

  {

   

  // Get the CRM Users appointments

   

  // Setup the Authentication Token

   

  CrmAuthenticationToken token = new CrmAuthenticationToken();

  token.OrganizationName = organizationName;

  token.AuthenticationType = 2;

   

  CrmService service = new CrmService();

   

  if (crmServerUrl != null &&

  crmServerUrl.Length > 0)

  {

   

  UriBuilder builder = new UriBuilder(crmServerUrl);

  builder.Path =

  "//MSCRMServices//2007//CrmService.asmx";

  service.Url = builder.Uri.ToString();

   

  }

   

   

  CredentialCache credential = new System.Net.CredentialCache();

   

  NetworkCredential netCred = new NetworkCredential("administrator","pass@word1","litwareinc.com");

   

  credential.Add(

  new Uri("http://localhost:5555"),"NTLM", netCred);

   

  service.Credentials = credential;

  service.CrmAuthenticationTokenValue = token;

   

  return service;

  }
  
  but still get the same error.
  
  Is there anything else outside of code, I need to take care of as well?
  
  Thanks,

  Oh, ok it's an IFD deployment.

  
  

  Here's the example from the SDK notice the use of the RetrieveCrmTicketRequest

  using System;
  using System.Xml;
  using System.Text;
  using System.Web.Services.Protocols;
  
  // Microsoft Dynamics CRM namespaces.
  // Note that the Visual Studio project name is IFD_Authentication.
  using IFD_Authentication.CrmSdk;
  using IFD_Authentication.CrmSdk.Discovery;
  
  public class IFDConnection
  {
      // A CrmService reference.
      public readonly CrmService CrmService = null;
  
      // URL of the Web application.
      public readonly string WebApplicationUrl = String.Empty;
  
      // GUID of the user's organization.
      public readonly Guid OrganizationId = Guid.Empty; 
  
      /// <summary>
      /// Authenticate the user using IFD (Internet Facing Deployment). The class
      /// constructor sets the values of the public variables (CrmService, etc).
      /// </summary>
      /// <param name="organization">Name of the user's organization.</param>

      public IFDConnection(string organization, string server, string domain,

                  //Create the CrmService Web service proxy.
                  CrmAuthenticationToken sdktoken = new CrmAuthenticationToken();
                  sdktoken.AuthenticationType = 2;
                  sdktoken.OrganizationName = organization;
                  sdktoken.CrmTicket = ticketResponse.CrmTicket;
  
                  CrmService = new CrmService();

                  CrmService.Url = orgdetail.CrmServiceUrl;
  
                  WebApplicationUrl = orgdetail.WebApplicationUrl;
                  OrganizationId = orgdetail.OrganizationId;
  
                  break;
              }
          }
      }

  Hi there,
  
  Sorry, I did set the AuthenticationType to 0, it should be AD, but that didn't work and I tried the other values as well and left the code that way when I pasted it here.
  
  The AD is located on the same server where the CRM is.  So I am not sure what else I am missing.
  
  Even setting the AutheticationType to 0, I get the same 401 error.
  
  Please help!

  Is "administrator" a user in CRM? Are you able to access the web application using this account?

  OK, if it's AD, then try using the server name instead of localhost.

  
  

  Also you're not specifying an organisation to connect to.

  
  

  token.OrganizationName = myOrganizationName;
  

  Here's a full sample from the SDK

  
  

  [C#]
  // STEP 1: Instantiate and configure the CrmDiscoveryService Web service.
  CrmDiscoveryService discoveryService = new CrmDiscoveryService();
  discoveryService.UseDefaultCredentials = true;
  discoveryService.Url = "http://localhost:5555/MSCRMServices/2007/AD/CrmDiscoveryService.asmx";
  
  // STEP 2: Retrieve the desired organization name and endpoint URL from the
  // CrmDiscoveryService Web service.
  RetrieveOrganizationsRequest orgRequest = new RetrieveOrganizationsRequest();
  RetrieveOrganizationsResponse orgResponse =
      (RetrieveOrganizationsResponse)discoveryService.Execute(orgRequest);
  
  OrganizationDetail orgInfo = null;
  foreach (OrganizationDetail orgDetail in orgResponse.OrganizationDetails)
  {
      if (orgDetail.OrganizationName.Equals("AdventureWorksCycle"))
      {
          orgInfo = orgDetail;
          break;
      }
  }
  
  if (orgInfo == null)
      throw new Exception("The organization name is invalid.");
  
  // STEP 3: Create and configure an instance of the CrmService Web service.
  CrmAuthenticationToken token = new CrmAuthenticationToken();
  token.AuthenticationType = 0; // See Microsoft.Crm.Sdk.AuthenticationType
  token.OrganizationName = orgInfo.OrganizationName;
  
  CrmService crmService = new CrmService();
  crmService.Url = orgInfo.CrmServiceUrl;
  crmService.CrmAuthenticationTokenValue = token;
  crmService.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
  
  // STEP 4: Invoke a CrmService Web service method.
  WhoAmIRequest whoRequest = new WhoAmIRequest();
  WhoAmIResponse whoResponse = (WhoAmIResponse)crmService.Execute(whoRequest);

  Hi
  
  I hope you are using CRM VPC.
  
  Leave the domain name and try
  
  NetworkCredential netCred = new NetworkCredential("administrator","password");
  
  if still problem persist it may be dur to Kerberos. Try this
  
  CredentialCache credential = new System.Net.CredentialCache();
  NetworkCredential netCred = new NetworkCredential("administrator", "pass@word1", "litwareinc");
  credential.Add(new Uri("http://localhost:5555"), "NTLM", netCred);
  crmDeployService.Credentials = credential;
  
  

  Sample code to ckeck:
  
  // Set up the CRM Service.
  CrmAuthenticationToken token = new CrmAuthenticationToken();
  token.AuthenticationType = 0;
  token.OrganizationName = "AdventureWorksCycle";
  
  CrmService service = new CrmService();
  service.Url = "http://<servername>:<port>/mscrmservices/2007/crmservice.asmx";
  service.CrmAuthenticationTokenValue = token;
  service.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("administrator","password");
  //service.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
  
  // Create an account entity and assign data to some attributes.
  account newAccount = new account();
  newAccount.name = "Greg Bike Store";
  newAccount.accountnumber = "123456";
  newAccount.address1_postalcode = "98052";
  newAccount.address1_city = "Redmond";
  
  // Call the Create method to create an account.
  Guid accountId = service.Create(newAccount);
  
  Regards
  Vinoth
