Dynamics CRM V9 connection Error in Pluging/Console or Custom Web Application/Report Viewer in VS

Recently faced a strange issue in CRM v9 while connecting to Org Service. It was perfectly working before last night. Issues faced  in different scenarios. Am trying to consolidate all here . If any one faces any of the below issue then try the solution given below.

ISSUES:
Not able to login Plugin registration tool (Keep popping up for Credentials)
Not able to see custom entites in Plugin Registration tool
Connection to CRM from Custom Web application & console failed
Can able to retrive data in DataSet in Report rdl but not able to Preview





























ROOT CAUSE:
Its all because of the latest update in the Microsoft TSL(Transport Security Layer) Protocol in SDK assemblies..Microsoft allowed the TSL connection 1.0  and 1.1 for the browsers or client to connect the CRM org.Now Microsoft will support only TSL 1.2 or above going forward(Reference) . If you are connecting your org with the old version of plugin registration tool , then you may face this issue.


HOW TO IDENTIFY:
Use fiddler to check the your server request TSL Version. Install fiddler https://www.telerik.com/download/fiddler



SOLUTION:
1.For Plugin Issue: Update latest SDK from the Plugin Registration Tool 
or Download tools from NuGet

2.For Report: Uninstall Report Authoring Extension and install the latest.(Make sure Installed dll is the latest SDK 9.0). if this doesnt resolve the issue then follow the below step.

On the machine where VS is installed go to the start menu, then type run and then enter. Type in regedit and then OK.

Once the Registry Editor is open, go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\.NETFramework\v4.0.30319
Right click on the name of the folder (the v4.0.30319 folder) and select New, then DWORD. Give it the name of SchUseStrongCrypto and the Value of 1. Exit the Registry Editor, then restart your machine. 

3.For Custom Application or Console App : Include the below reference to your project(to global config file the line before where your client credentials is configured) and change the .Net framework to 4.6.1 and rebuild 
"ServicePointManager.SecurityProtocol = SecurityProtocolType.Tls11 | SecurityProtocolType.Tls12"



If you can't update you project to the latest assembly version (4.6) then follow the step give by Mr.Massoud in the comment.

IMPORTANT:
4. Modify using TSL to 1.2 through Fiddler . Keep open the fiddler after modifying and try to connect if you dnt have latest SDK or if you were not able to connect with the above methods.

FOR END USERS:
Please upgrade all your browsers(IE,Chrome,Firefox,Safari) which supports TSL 1.2 and  can send the secure request to all your client applications

  2. Thanks for your post. This resolved the issue I was having with the plug-in registration wizard. For the report authoring extension, I downloaded what appears to be the latest version. On Microsoft's download site it says it's version 8.2.2.248 but once installed it says it's version 8.2.0002.0248. I'm still having the same issue you describe in your post. You also mentioned, "(Make sure Installed dll has the latest SDK)". Could you elaborate on that?

    1. hi Warren,
      When you install the Report authoring extention it will contains the Xrm.tooling to connect to CRM org to fetch record to your report viewer.So try to uninstall your extn and download the latest extn if that doesnt work, just download latest SDK core dll using NuGet and replace in the follow files location(where your etxn is installed . Like (C:\Program Files\)

      \\CRM Report Authoring Extention\Report Authoring Extn\PFiles\MSCRM\BidsExtensions

      Delete
    2. I still can't get this to work. I've added the latest Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk.dll to the BidsExtension folder and then installed BIDS but it still won't connect in VS. Any other suggestions?

    5. I wasn't ever sent the extension and needed to get it resolved so contacted Microsoft. This is the resolution that worked for me:

      On the machine where VS is installed go to the start menu, then type run and then enter. Type in regedit and then OK.

      Once the Registry Editor is open, go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\.NETFramework\v4.0.30319
      Right click on the name of the folder (the v4.0.30319 folder) and select New, then DWORD. Give it the name of SchUseStrongCrypto and the Value of 1. Exit the Registry Editor, then restart your machine.

      Hope that helps!

  8. Hi Syed, Thank you for the information. It put us in the right direction to find out how to fix this given we could not change the source code (i.e.not able to add SecurityProtocil nor change .NET Framework to 4.6). We did this by adding the following line to the the app.config of our app (had to remove greate-than and less-than chars to be able to publish):

    runtime
    AppContextSwitchOverrides value="Switch.System.Net.DontEnableSchUseStrongCrypto=false"\
    /runtime

    1. good info Massoud.If you can provide this code with tag where to park under config section ,then i will add this info also in the article . It may be beneficial to the community.

      Delete
    2. The app.exe.config technique does not work for ASP.NET apps so we had to find another way.
      Finally what works across the whole server is to create a new Key and REG_SZ entry in Registry here:

      HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft.NETFramework\AppContext

      Name: Switch.System.Net.DontEnableSchUseStrongCrypto
      Data: false

      Restart IIS

      Delete
  9. In the app.config file add this:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <configuration>
    <runtime>
    <AppContextSwitchOverrides value="Switch.System.Net.DontEnableSchUseStrongCrypto=false"/>
    </runtime>
    </configuration>

  15. For Reporting, this issue was resolved by doing the following:

    On the machine where VS is installed go to the start menu, then type run and then enter. Type in regedit and then OK.

    Once the Registry Editor is open, go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\.NETFramework\v4.0.30319
    Right click on the name of the folder (the v4.0.30319 folder) and select New, then DWORD. Give it the name of SchUseStrongCrypto and the Value of 1. Exit the Registry Editor, then restart your machine.

    Hope that helps!

    1. Hi Megan, I am not getting the folder .NETFramework under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft

      I have .Net Framework installed.

      Am I missing any software installation here.

      I created the folder by myself and provided the DWORK Key still report is not working in VS and it keep asking the credentials.

      I am able to run the report by running fidler, just curious to know it we can work without fidler.

  17. Where do I get the Version 9.0 DLL's for CRM Reporting BIDS Extension ? so that I can connect my Report to CRM.

    1. This is the crux of the problem. If you create a "point and click" report in Dynamics 365 version 9, it references version 9.0.0.0 of the Microsoft.Crm.Reporting.RdlHelper. The only problem is that the latest version of the reprot authoring extension references version 8.0.0.0 of the Microsoft.Crm.Reporting.RdlHelper.

      I have logged a ticket with Microsoft support, but a response to that could take some time
