  2. Update the BasicHttpBinding_DynamicsAxCommunicatorService to change the binding from
    <!-- HTTP with Windows authentication--> <security mode="Transport"> <transport clientCredentialType="None" /> </security>
    to
    <!-- HTTP with Windows authentication--> <security mode="TransportCredentialOnly"> <transport clientCredentialType="None" /> </security>
  3. Save the file.
  4. Restart TotalAgility DynamicsAXCommunicator service to apply the new settings.
