Before the PowerCenter Integration Service can connect to Salesforce, you must configure a Salesforce application connection in the Workflow Manager.
When you configure a Salesforce application connection, you specify connection attributes the PowerCenter Integration Service uses to connect to Salesforce. A connection object stores the Salesforce user ID, password, and end point URL information for the runtime connection.
You can use one of the following authentication types to connect to Salesforce:
Standard
. You must provide the user name and password to connect to Salesforce.
OAuth
. OAuth allows secure API authorization. You do not need to disclose your Salesforce credentials and the Salesforce administrator can revoke the access at any time. You must provide the service URL, refresh token, consumer key, and consumer secret to connect to Salesforce.
