 * Hi,
 * Is it possible to connect to Dynamics with Client Credentials (see link below)
   as it seems to be the preferred way to connect to the Dynamics API? If not, is
   there a reason why username and password is used?

 * Hi [@hnsd4vf](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hnsd4vf/)
 * Reason for not having it is very simple – when we started, Dynamics 365 didn’t
   support this type of authentication. Adding it to the existing version would 
   be challenging (long story)
 * Instead, S2S authentication will be supported in the next major version of the
   plugin, including clientid/secret and certificate authentication.

 * Hi George and thank you for a quick and detailed answer!
 * Happy to hear that S2S and secret authentication will become a feature. Any info
   on when the next major version will be released?
