Problem connecting to Business Central cloud web services

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 269

Since a while, I am not able to establish a connection to Business Central cloud instance web services. The web services are available through browser or e.g. Postman with user / password (web service key), but when I try to use the (old) Dynamics NAV or Business Central (on premises) connector, it tells me "401 - unauthorized".

 

Using the dedicated Business Central connector is not an option, as I can only see the standard API endpoints and fields.

I could use the HTTP connector, but I'd really don't want to for licensing costs (http is premium connector and I already have the BC license, so this shouldn't be needed to pay twice...) and to make the flow a little bit more "fail safe" for my colleagues to customize if I'm not available.

 

Is this only my fault and I made a mistake in the setup somewhere or is this a general bug / "feature"?

    Hi @AlexN ,

     

    Could you please share more details about the error message?

    Could you please share a screenshot when the error message appears?

    Please check if you have entered correct account password since the provided error message told that you got the unauthorized error.

     

    Best regards,

    Alice
