Grant Type: Password

The following steps are required if the Password Grant Type is selected for OAuth2.

Prerequisites

To support the Password grant type, you must create a connected application on the Salesforce system.

For more information on creating the connected application, refer to Create a Connected App in the Salesforce documentation.

After creating the connected application, you can get the Consumer Key and Consumer Secret from the connected application.

  1. In the Client ID field, enter the Client ID for OAuth2 authentication.

    This is the Consumer Key from the Salesforce connected application.

  2. In the Client Secret field, enter the Client Secret for OAuth2 authentication.

    This is the Consumer Secret from Salesforce connected application.

Additional configuration parameters:

The Client ID for OAuth2 authentication (Consumer Key from Salesforce connected application).

This is the API user's Salesforce.com password. If the client's IP address has not been whitelisted in your organization, you must add a security token to your password for OAuth2 authentication.

Set this to true to persist the session information. The default value is false. This is not applicable in case of OAuth2 Authentication.

If the Salesforce source is configured to use OAuth2 authentication, the following URL is used to generate an access token by default:

https://login.salesforce.com/services/oauth2/token
