Hello,
I'm tying to connect to CRM on-premise instance via OData connector and i'm getting the error message The name provided is not a properly formed account name. The error shows up right after I enter the web API url, before credentials window pops out.
Here is a screenshot of web API url that im using to connect:
There is also a sandbox instance for this same organization that I can connect to without any problem. Does anyone know what might be the problem here?
Thanks!
Hi IvanMislav,
I had similar issue with the same error message.
Solved it by clearing all global permissions and clearing cache.
Clear Global Permissions:
File>Options and settings>datasource settings>Global permissions>Clear all permissions.
Clear Cache:
File>Options and settings>Options>Clear Cache
After these steps, I was able to connect to my datasource.
Hi @IvanMislav,
Current dynamic 365 connector not supported odata, you should use odata feed connector to instead.

Yes, I'm using OData feed connector. Not Dynamics 365.
Hi @IvanMislav,
Odata connector support on-premise CRM source, does any specific characters in your instance? I think the issue may related to it.

That image looks like you are using the Dynamics 365 connector, not the generic OData connector. Not sure that will work with on-premises CRM. What version of CRM do you have on-premises?
Hi,
Yes, it says that it's for Dynamics 365, but I'm using that same type of API when I'm connecting to other on-premise CRM instances (using OData connector) and it works fine. CRM On-premise version is 8.2.0.70049.
