Offline Authentication Admin Email D365FO

Offline Authentication Admin Email D365FO

Most of the time my team members complain to me that they are getting two types of errors randomly.

1. Authentication error while browsing the table from Visual Studio.
2. Exception occurred on the metadata service on client or server – error: forbidden. While setting report data source as query the above error occurred

We can resolve both types of errors in just a few steps.

Step-1 Check for the “OfflineAuthenticationAdminEmail”  key in file “DynamicsDevConfig” in AOSService -> PackagesLocalDirectory->Bin to be set to the correct login email that you are using.

Step-2 In my case administrator@contosoax7.onmicrosoft.com was mentioned. So I replace it with the email I was using.

Step-3 Sign In to Visual Studio with your account.

Step-4 Close Visual studio.

Step-5 Restart IIS.

Step-6 Restart Batch 

Step-7 Open Visual Studio as Administrator

Step-8 Verify your issue again. in my case, both issues were resolved.
