Accessing the AIF web service

Now that the AIF web services were generated and the appropriate authentication methods have been specified, the next step is to verify that they can be accessed. In this section, we will cover the process of testing the web services that were created.
1. On the server in which the AIF web service extension was installed on, go to Administrative Tools | Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager.

3. In order to simplify the process of validating that the AIF web services are accessible, make the  MicrosoftDynamicsAXAif50 virtual directory browsing. To do this, select the MicrosoftDynamicsAXAif50 directory and under IIS, open Directory Browsing.
