Preparing NAV

Preparing NAV for PowerApps Is your NAV server Internet-facing? (Does it have an external IP address / FQDN?) Do you have a TCA (approved 3rd Party) issued SSL certificate for your NAV server (and is your NAV service set up to use it?) Are you using the NavUserPassword or O365 authentication method (for at least one of your NAV services)? Are ODATA Web Services enabled? Is the ODATA Web Services port exposed for external access and SSL?
