The maximum nametable character count quota (16384) has been exceeded while reading XML data
I am getting the following error when doing a "Test Connection" from IdB to CRM. The URI address resolves without cert errors in a browser. The CRM connector version is 5.2.0.1
Any idea what this means?

We haven't seen this before. Did you try searching Microsoft forums or raising a support ticket with Microsoft?
Does the IDB connector use the CRM SDK? https://stackoverflow.com/questions/42831260/the-maximum-nametable-character-count-quota-16384-has-been-exceeded-while-read
Hi Carol, IdB does use that SDK. It appears that the SDK dlls can be updated without issue so if you wish to try a newer version of the SDK, download it and replace the microsoft.crm.sdk.proxy.dll and microsoft.xrm.sdk.dll files in the services directory.
Those two DLLs are v5.x. Have replaced them with v8.x versions from the CRM SDK - but now IdB won't start:
Service cannot be started. Unify.Framework.UnifyServiceInitializeException: A agent of type Unify.Agent.DynamicsCRM was requested but is not in the list of known agents. Check agent is installed or agent configuration is correct. The currently known agents are: Unify.Agent.FTP, Unify.Agent.SqlServerDatabase, Unify.Agent.OracleDb, Unify.Agent.OleDb, Unify.Agent.AD ---> Unify.Framework.UnifyConfigurationException: A agent of type Unify.Agent.DynamicsCRM was requested but is not in the list of known agents. Check agent is installed or agent configuration is correct. The currently known agents are: Unify.Agent.FTP, Unify.Agent.SqlServerDatabase, Unify.Agent.OracleDb, Unify.Agent.OleDb, Unify.Agent.AD
at Unify.Product.IdentityBroker.AgentEngine.GenerateAgent(IAgentConfiguration configuration)
at Unify.Product.IdentityBroker.AgentEngine.InitializeFromXml(XDocument xml)
at Unify.Product.IdentityBroker.AgentEngineAuditingDecorator.Initialize()
at Unify.Framework.UnifyEngine`1.Initialize()
Updating the SDK DLL files makes the Agent disappear from Identity Broker. I have verified this as followed:
1. Removed all CRM related config from the Agent, Connector and Adapter files - Idb then starts, but when I attempt to create a new agent, CRM is not listed.
2. Service restarts etc make no difference.
3. Uninstalled and reinstalled the CRM connector - I can now see the CRM agent type listed.
4. Stop IdB service and update the two DLLs. Restart IdB service - the CRM Agent type has again disappeared from the list.
Add the following the the configuration/runtime/assemblyBindings element of the service configuration files:
<dependentassembly>
<assemblyidentity name="Microsoft.Crm.Sdk.Proxy" publickeytoken="31bf3856ad364e35" culture="neutral"></assemblyidentity>
<bindingredirect oldversion="0.0.0.0-8.0.0.0" newversion="8.0.0.0"></bindingredirect>
</dependentassembly>
<dependentassembly>
<assemblyidentity name="Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk" publickeytoken="31bf3856ad364e35" culture="neutral"></assemblyidentity>
<bindingredirect oldversion="0.0.0.0-8.0.0.0" newversion="8.0.0.0"></bindingredirect>
</dependentassembly>
Have compared to Dev where the v5 DLLs are in the IdB Service folder and it's working. Same version of CRM in both environments.
I added that to the Unify.Service.Connect.exe.config file - however I still can't start IdB, with the same error as above.
I have the same version SDK and was able to get it working with the config update.
The config you added to is the service config. Are you running IdB via the service or with the debug exe in the services directory? They have different config files.
This is my config. Does yours look similar?
Identical. The service will not start with the v8 dlls in there, and will only start with the v5 dlls in there.
BTW when you tested this did you have a CRM agent configured? The service will start if I remove all traces of CRM from the config files - but that's not much help.
Issue was resolved with packaged CRM SDK replaced with version 8.2 and the above binding redirect configuration. Issues with the binding redirect configuration were caused by Voice lower-casing all XML element and attribute names. Refer to above image for correct casing.
In addition I believe the updated CRM SDK DLLs may have been needed in the first place because the CRM port was changed from the default value of 5555 to 443.
