Understood. The only errors in the log were:
#23379 - Could not verify the version of Microsoft Dynamics CRM at https://crm.XXXX.com/crm. There was no endpoint listening at https://crm.XXXX.com/CRM/XRMServices/2011/Organization.svc that could accept the message. This is often caused by an incorrect address or SOAP action. See InnerException, if present, for more details. CRM is a dysfunctional organization so I disabled it and no more errors. Yes I am a deployment admin so I will check that out next.

From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Did you look through the application log on the CRM server to see if there are any clues there? I'd hate to send you off on a wild goose chase if there is some indication there of what is really going on. That said, ADFS is likely installed somewhere else. Are you a Deployment Admin in CRM? If so, you can start (but do not complete!!!) the "Configure Claims-Based Authentication" wizard and get the ADFS server from the Federation metada URL. e.g. https://adfsserver.company.com/yada-yada-yada/federationmetadata.xml where adfsserver.company.com resolves to your adfs server. Make sure to cancel the wizard after gathering the information. Again, all of my experience is with CRM 2011 in a simple setup with one CRM server and a separate ADFS 2.0 server. I presume 2013 is very similar, and you may be running a newer version of ADFS which might also be different.

The CRM server does NOT have the ADFS role installed....so I can't access the MMC to check the certs as you suggest...or am I looking for the wrong thing? The site is IFD as I can access it from the public wire and it does have a ssl cert installed in IIS...so possibly a disaster waiting to happen?

From: [email protected] To: [email protected] I'm running CRM 2011 and ADFS 2.0, so things may be a bit different for you, but... Check for errors in the CRM server's application log. I have seen ID 1309 in the past when the ADFS server updates its own certificates and the new ones are not trusted by the CRM server. For sanity, you can also check the certs that ADFS is using by opening the ADFS management console on that server, expanding the Service node, then clicking on Certificates. Check the dates on all the certs there. If the token signing and token decrypting certs are new, I would guess that's your issue. If so, you'll need to import the new certs into the CRM server's store and restart IIS. Don't change anything in ADFS if you haven't set up IFD personally and know what you are doing. I would advise exploration at this point without any modifications.

More times than not – it is the SSL certificate and you aren’t even getting to ADFS which is why there aren’t any error messages to work with. " Now I just have to educate myself on how to check to see what the sysadmin who is unavailable today configured.

Sometime overnight the site went down. Now I get a 404.0 error. I've disbaled friendly errors...just get a blank page not even a 404. I've modified the web.config debug=true nothing. Fiddler shows nothing...well not exactly. Fiddler shows a 404 as well. Event logs on server show nothing. I've removed ssl cert and reapplied. Tried accessing the site http nada?? I looked for any updates that were pushed overnight nothing..(they are disabled but I checked anyway). If I browse to http it redirects me https as it should. It prompts for my NT credentials as it should. Downloads favicon and decides it has done all it's going to do. So I am at a real loss as to even getting a clue as to the problem. If someone can help me with some further troubleshooting direction it would be appreciated. Thank You
