TIBCO Cloud Integration - Connect ( Scribe )

Description

Microsoft is deprecating the WS-Trust security protocol and the regional Discovery Service which are used in authenticating with Microsoft Dynamics 365 / CRM for the Customer Engagement product. These changes could affect how you configure your connections to these Microsoft products if you are using the "Online" or Partner-Hosted (IFD) deployment types. See this Microsoft documentation for more information about when these changes will affect your Microsoft CRM organization. 

Information About TIBCO Scribe® Online Connector for Microsoft Dynamics 365 / CRM and TIBCO Scribe® Online Connector for Microsoft Common Data Services (CDS)

If you are using the "Online" deployment configuration with either of these connectors, see this following recommendation. 

Use of regional discovery services is being retired by Microsoft in the very near future. This means that the Online Deployment option will no longer work. In addition, Microsoft has announced that it will retire the use of Office 365 credentials in April 2022. See this Microsoft Notification. Best practice is to use Azure AD instead. See Azure AD Authentication for step-by-step connection instructions. The Online option will be removed from the User Interface in a future release.

If you are using the Partner-Hosted (IFD) deployment configuration with either of these connectors, see this following recommendation. 

Microsoft is deprecating WS-Trust. This means that the Partner-Hosted (IFD) deployment option will no longer work. See this Microsoft Notification. Best practice is to move to the Connection String deployment type before April 2022. The Partner-Hosted (IFD) option will be removed from the User Interface in a future release.
