    • D365 FSCM URL: URL of the target Dynamics environment

    • Username/Client id: e-mail address of the user that has access and is enabled in D365 FO instance that we are connecting to.

    • Password/Secret: password of that valid user-

    • Only relevant for on-prem: Authority: ADFS server URL (normally is https://hostname/adfs/. Can be taken from user settings page in D365 FSCM: System administration >Users > any valid user settings)

      You can use data fields of another data source for every value. This way, you can enter username and password once in a central place and use it for different connection, more is described in later chapters
