Configure Salesforce Authentication
Use the Salesforce REST API to extract data from a Salesforce repository via a Salesforce Connected App.
In addition to a user password, Salesforce authentication requires a security token automatically generated by Salesforce.
-
Obtain the security token by following Reset Your Security Token in Salesforce’s online help.
-
Append the token to the end of the value found in the
Salesforce password
property in your Salesforce datasource configuration.For example, if your password is
PasswordABC
, and your security token is0123456789
, the value of the Salesforce password property should bePasswordABC0123456789
.
You must request a new Salesforce security token if the user password is changed. If this happens, alter the value of the Salesforce password property to match the new password and security token.
