You can also create an OAuth type connection to access to Salesforce using the Salesforce API. OAuth is a standard protocol that allows for secure API authorization. A benefit of OAuth is that users do not need to disclose their Salesforce credentials and the Salesforce administrator can revoke the consumer's access at any time.

Connection Property	Description
Name	Name of the OAuth connection.
Type	Select the Use OAuth checkbox to use the OAuth connection.
Refresh Token	The Refresh Token of Salesforce.
Consumer Key	The Consumer Key obtained from Salesforce, required to generate the Refresh Token.
Consumer Secret	The Consumer Secret obtained from Salesforce, required to generate the Refresh Token.
