Generate OAUTH Token

To use REST Services, an OAUTH Token must be generated by SalesForce.

See https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.api_rest.meta/api_rest/intro_understanding_username_password_oauth_flow.htm for a reference.

The customer will provide the following information:

  • client_id
  • client_secret

The OAUTH Token is generated using CURL.

Code Block
titleCURL - Generate OAUTH Token
curl -d "grant_type=password&client_id=<client_id>&client_secret=<client_secret>&username=<salesforce_user_name>&password=<salesforce_password><security_token>" -X POST https://login.salesforce.com/services/oauth2/token

NOTE: there is no space between <salesforce_password> and <security_token>

For the endpoints, use the following for the live system:

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

And the following for the test / sandbox system:

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

The following shows a sample response received from the SalesForce system:

The access_token field is required in the JTEL system, together with the instance URL, which forms the base of the SalesForce jtel REST API Base URL in the jtel Portal.

The following shows an example of the finished URL configuration in the jtel System:
