ADFS Error – MSIS9605: The client is not allowed to access the requested resource

adfscrmmicrosoft-dynamics-crmnode.js

I have an on-premise installation of Dynamics CRM 2016 which has claims-based authentication configured using an ADFS 4.0 (Server 2016) instance. Logging into CRM works fine via ADFS. I have a separate Node.js application trying to access the CRM Web API using the ADAL library provided by Microsoft to perform authentication. I have created an ADFS client using PowerShell for this Node app that has a Client ID and Secret. When the Node code executes to acquire a token from ADFS to use for calling the CRM Web API, I get the error MSIS9605: The client is not allowed to access the requested resource. Clearly the call is reaching ADFS, but I cannot seem to find a way to configure ADFS to allow the client to access the other resource protected by ADFS.

Here is the output of Get-ADFSRelyingPartyTrust:

Here is the Node.js function using ADAL (https://github.com/AzureAD/azure-activedirectory-library-for-nodejs). I realize it has Azure in the title but it is successfully communicating with ADFS and there are comments in the issues log stating that what I am doing is possible.

let ADAuthenticationContext = require('adal-node').AuthenticationContext;

const authorityHostUrl = 'https://sso.mysite.com';
const tenant = 'adfs';
let authorityUrl = authorityHostUrl + '/' + tenant;
const clientId = 'c43002e2-............67c';
const clientSecret = 'lT..................jjh';

const resource = 'https://crm.mysite.com/';


let crm = module.exports = {};

let context = new ADAuthenticationContext(authorityUrl, false);

crm.test = function() {
    context.acquireTokenWithClientCredentials(resource, clientId, clientSecret, function(err, tokenResponse) {
        if (err) {
            console.log('well that didn\'t work: ' + err.stack);
        } else {
            console.log(tokenResponse);
        }
    });
};

Also, from the ADFS Event Log:

Encountered error during OAuth token request. 

Additional Data 

Exception details: 
Microsoft.IdentityServer.Web.Protocols.OAuth.Exceptions.OAuthUnauthorizedClientException: MSIS9321: Received invalid OAuth request. The client 'c43002e2-f1a6-4786-9234-f71e971c167c' is forbidden to access the resource 'https://demo.mysite.com/'.
   at Microsoft.IdentityServer.Web.Protocols.OAuth.OAuthProtocolContext.ValidateScopes(String scopeParameter, String clientId, String relyingPartyId)
   at Microsoft.IdentityServer.Web.Protocols.OAuth.OAuthToken.OAuthClientCredentialsContext.ValidateCore()

Any insight would be great as I am pretty new to ADFS and the message seems to indicate something in ADFS is not correct.

On Windows Server 2016 you need to explicitly grant clients permission to a resource, even when the access policy is set to "Permit everyone".

Try this command:

Grant-AdfsApplicationPermission -ClientRoleIdentifier "clientName" -ServerRoleIdentifier "https://service.url"
