Use Azure Managed Identity Authentication to Secure your Dataverse/Dynamics CRM Connections
Azure AD (Microsoft Entra ID) Enterprise Applications have long provided robust authentication for Dynamics 365/Dataverse integrations using client secrets or certificates - proven methods that remain secure when properly managed. However, for teams seeking to further streamline operations and align with modern Azure-native practices, we’re thrilled to announce the newly added Azure Managed Identity authentication option in the Dataverse/CDS/CRM Connection Manager in our v25.1 release of SSIS Integration Toolkit for Microsoft Dynamics 365 made available on April 4, 2025.
