OAuth

OAuth

Create an OAuth connection that uses the OAuth 2.0 protocol to access Salesforce through the Salesforce API. OAuth is a standard protocol that allows for secure API authorization.
To create an OAuth connection, you need an OAuth refresh token. Informatica provides the SFDC OAuth 2.0 tool to generate the OAuth refresh token.
You also need the consumer key and consumer secret from your Salesforce account to generate the OAuth refresh token.
  1. Download the SFDC OAuth tool from Informatica Marketplace.
  2. Extract the
    OAuth.zip
     file.
  3. Go to the
    oauth\conf
     folder, open the server.xml file, and update the
    mystore.jks
     file path to the one on your system. Save and close the file.
  4. Go to
    \oauth\bin
     and run the command
    catalina.bat start
    .
  5. Open
    http://localhost:8090/salesforce
     from the browser.
  6. Enter your Salesforce user name and password to log in.
  7. Enter the client ID and client secret, and click
    Submit
    .
    The client ID is the consumer key in Salesforce and the client secret is the consumer secret in Salesforce.
    The OAuth refresh token is generated.
