ADFS Self Signed Certificates and Microsoft Dynamics CRM.

ADFS Self-Signed Certificates are used for internal encryption and are separate from your SSL certificates.   You can sometimes experience a situation where these internal certificates auto-rollover.  when this happens it will bring CRM down.

Below is a blog that has a fix for this that seems to work if you follow all the steps to a T:

Additionally there is a way to push the date out using Powershell to make the renewal duration more like 5 years instead of every 365 days.

- Happy Tuesday!

  1. Exact same problem I had last month. Would be great to have the Powershell commands extending the renewal. Thanks Jamie.

  2. Business communication is handled by the people who talk to the customers directly. Very often we hear about the difference between the top management who makes Policies and the employees who are making conversations with the customers. http://leadnxt.com/crm-solutions-for-real-estate-sales-marketing.html

  3. We ran into this comparison of self-signed cert vs. commercial cert in regards of token signing half a year ago, and we finally ended up using self-signed certs in our production. So far so good.
