Test Connectivity

Click the below link corresponding to your Data Center and Dynamics version to access the appropriate connectivity test form. For details on what to enter into the form, check the Register for Your ClickDimensions Solution article.

Common Connectivity Errors

Metadata contains a reference that cannot be resolved

This usually indicates a problem with your Internet-Facing Deployment (IFD). This could be a setting in the Dynamics Deployment Manager's Web Address properties, or a DNS issue. See this article for more detail. (For Dynamics Online, if this error occurs, wait an hour and try again. It may be due to a temporary disruption in Dynamics Online.)

Error. An unsecured or incorrectly secured fault was received.

This is typically due to using an incorrect username or password in the registration to connect to your Dynamics environment. The user you are entering in the registration form must be an enabled user in your environment. (Less commonly, this error can result from the server times being more than five minutes out of sync with either your network's domain controller, or Microsoft's Azure data centers where our application is hosted. Check the times on your Dynamics and ADFS servers. Sometimes a simple reboot is all that is needed to get the times synced back up properly.)

Invalid URI.

This error usually indicates that the username and password you are entering in the registration form do not belong to a user who is enabled in the Dynamics organization you are registering. Ensure that the user is enabled in the relevant organization, has the System Administrator role, and has the Read/Write access mode.

Registration Checklist

To register with ClickDimensions, you must have the following items ready.

1. The version of Dynamics you are using and which Microsoft data center you wish to connect to (US, CAN, EU, or AU).
2. A Dynamics organization that is accessible from the internet.
3. The external Dynamics URL where your environment is reachable from the internet.
4. The unique organization name of the Dynamics organization in your deployment.
5. The username and password of a user who is enabled in the organization you are registering. This user must have the System Administrator role (can be replaced after our solution is imported), and have Read/Write access mode.
6. For on-premises Dynamics environments, you must know the Active Directory domain of the user. (Note: For ADFS 3.0, enter the AD Domain in the username field.)
7. The contact email address where you would like the ClickDimensions solution sent for download.

Once you have tested your connection and have all the needed items in place, use the registration link provided in your welcome email (or sent by your account manager).
