Configuring Microsoft Dynamics 365 CRM connections

AUTHORIZATION_CODE Grant Type

  • This grant type is considered “three-legged” OAuth as it relies on redirecting users to the third party authorization server to authenticate the user. It is used when creating connections via the AWS Glue Console. The AWS Glue Console will redirect the user to Microsoft Dynamics 365 CRM where the user must login and allow AWS Glue the requested permissions to access their Microsoft Dynamics 365 CRM instance.

  • Users may opt to create their own connected app in Microsoft Dynamics 365 CRM and provide their own client id and client secret when creating connections through the AWS Glue Console. In this scenario, they will still be redirected to Microsoft Dynamics 365 CRM to login and authorize AWS Glue to access their resources.

  • This grant type results in a refresh token and access token. The access token is short lived, and may be refreshed automatically without user interaction using the refresh token.

  • For public Microsoft Dynamics 365 CRM documentation on creating a connected app for Authorization Code OAuth flow, see | Microsoft Learn. Microsoft App Registration.

Microsoft Dynamics 365 CRM supports OAuth2.0 authentication.

To configure a Microsoft Dynamics 365 CRM connection:

  1. In AWS Secrets Manager, create a secret with the following details. It is required to create a secret for each connection in AWS Glue.

    • For AuthorizationCode grant type:

      For customer managed connected app - Secret should contain the connected app Client Secret with USER_MANAGED_CLIENT_APPLICATION_CLIENT_SECRET as key.

  2. In AWS Glue Studio, create a connection under Data Connections by following the steps below:

    1. When selecting a Data Source, select Microsoft Dynamics 365 CRM.

    2. Select the INSTANCE_URL of the Microsoft Dynamics 365 CRM instance you want to connect to.

    3. Select the IAM role that AWS Glue can assume and has permissions for following actions: 

      {
"Version": "2012-10-17",
    "Statement": [
        {
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": [
                "secretsmanager:DescribeSecret",
                "secretsmanager:GetSecretValue",
                "secretsmanager:PutSecretValue",
                "ec2:CreateNetworkInterface",
                "ec2:DescribeNetworkInterface",
                "ec2:DeleteNetworkInterface",
            ],
            "Resource": "*"
        }
    ]
}

    4. Select Token URL and Authorization Code URL to access your Microsoft Dynamics 365 CRM workspace.

    5. Provide User Managed Client Application ClientId of your Microsoft Dynamics 365 CRM app.

    6. Select the secretName which you want to use for this connection in AWS Glue to put the tokens.

    7. Select the network options if you want to use your network.

  3. Grant the IAM role associated with your AWS Glue job permission to read secretName. Choose Next.

  4. In your AWS Glue job configuration, provide connectionName as an Additional network connection.
