After setting the CLASSPATH, the required connection information needs to be passed in the form of a connection URL. The following example includes the properties required for connecting with OAuth 2.0 refresh token grant authentication.
Connection URL Syntax
The connection URL takes the following form:
jdbc:datadirect:dynamics365:ServiceURL=serviceurl;AuthenticationMethod=method;
ClientID=client_id;ClientSecret=client_secret;TokenURI=token_uri;
RefreshToken=refresh_token;[property=value[;...]];
where:
- serviceurl
- specifies the base URL of the Dynamics 365 instance to which you want to issue requests. For example, https://mywebinstance.api.crm.dynamics.com/api/data/v9.1/.
- method
- specifies the authentication method used to connect to the service.
AuthenticationMethod should be set to
OAuth2for OAuth 2.0 authentication.
- client_id
- specifies the client ID key for your application when authenticating with OAuth 2.0.
- client_secret
- specifies the client secret for your application when authenticating with
OAuth 2.0.
Important: The client secret is a confidential value used to authenticate the application to the server. To prevent unauthorized access, this value must be securely maintained.
- uri_token
- specifies the endpoint used to exchange authentication credentials for access tokens when OAuth 2.0 authentication is enabled.
- refresh_token
- specifies the refresh token used to either request a new access token or
renew an expired access token.
Important: The refresh token is a confidential value used to authenticate to the server. To prevent unauthorized access, this value must be securely maintained.
- property=value
- specifies connection property settings. Multiple properties are separated by a semi-colon.
The following example connection string includes the properties required for connecting with the OAuth 2.0 refresh token grant.
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection
("jdbc:datadirect:dynamics365:
ServiceURL=https://mywebinstance.api.crm.dynamics.com/api/data/v9.1/;
AuthenticationMethod=OAuth2;ClientID=29453d6f-6789-25gh-gd8g-44tk3c527831;
ClientSecret=12a3=bCD/EfGh4Ijk+Lm5P67qR8s=//TuV+WXy1Zabcd;
TokenURI=https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/oauth2/v2.0/token;
RefreshToken=12a3=bCD/EfGh4Ijk+Lgd8g-44tk3c527831;");
