Salesforce Authentication

Node / Source

Salesforce Authentication

Authenticate with Salesforce. The authentication information can be used to query Salesforce using the Salesforce SOQL node or to extract temporary access tokens used in nodes such as GET Request . Note that in order to use this node the KNIME Analytics Platform needs to be registered with the respective Salesforce domain. Please contact your Salesforce administrator or KNIME to get more information.

Two types of authentication are supported, OAuth2 Interactive Authentication and Username & Password authentication. If in doubt, use the former as username & password authentication is discouraged according to the Salesforce documentation.
