Login

The Login Block enables users to automate the authentication process required to launch a Dynamics 365 application within Leapwork workflows. This block serves as a foundational element for test automation scenarios targeting D365 environments by providing a standardized way to initiate and log into the system before other operations commence.

Fully expanded, the D365 Login block shows the following properties:

The Block Header ("Login")

The green input connector at the top left triggers the block’s execution when the automation flow reaches this step.

The block title ("Login") can be renamed by double-clicking the header and entering a new label, allowing for more descriptive names within complex flows.

Browser to Start

This dropdown field allows the user to select the browser that will be launched as part of the login sequence.

Note: For Early Access, only Edge is supported. Chrome is currently excluded from support.

Web Address (URL)

This input field specifies the D365 application URL that the block will open upon execution.

The URL must lead directly to the intended D365 environment or login endpoint for successful authentication.

Username

Used to input the D365 login username.

Typically, this would be a valid organizational account with sufficient access rights to the targeted D365 application.

Password

Used to input the corresponding password for the username provided.

Sensitive handling is enforced; the password is obscured and securely stored during execution.

Browser Window

This property identifies the target browser instance for the login process. It is automatically assigned upon execution and is primarily used internally by Leapwork to manage session context. In Early Access versions, only a single browser session is supported, and this setting is not yet configurable.

Default timeout

If the Default Timeout property checkbox is not selected, then the timeout value is 120 seconds. If the property checkbox is selected, then the Default timeout value selected in the flow settings will be applicable.

Timeout

The maximum time spent extracting the specified information before giving up and triggering the Failed connector (see above).

Note: All cases have a “global timeout” that can be configured in the “Settings” panel. This is unrelated to the timeout of a single building block. However, a running case will automatically be cancelled if it runs for longer than the global timeout.

Login Failed

This output property is a flag that gets triggered when the login attempt fails.

It can be used to add conditional branches in your automation flow, allowing alternate actions or retries if authentication does not succeed.
