When trying to configure SmartConnect to connect to CRM 2011, receiving an error that says ‘Failed to get CRM 2011 Organizations : Could not load file or assembly ‘Microsoft.IdentityModel, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=’31bf3856ad364e35′ or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.’


This will occur if you do not have the Windows Identity Foundation installed. Click the link here to download the installation files.
