Salesforce¶

Salesforce uses OAuth v2 for Authentication, check the official docs.

• Create an app following the steps in the Defining Connected Apps docs.

• Fill Client Id and Client Secret values in the settings:

  SOCIAL_AUTH_SALESFORCE_OAUTH2_KEY = '<App UID>'
  SOCIAL_AUTH_SALESFORCE_OAUTH2_SECRET = '<App secret>'
  

• Add the backend to the AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS setting:

  AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS = (
      ...
      'social_core.backends.salesforce.SalesforceOAuth2',
      ...
  )
  

• Then you can start using {% url social:begin 'salesforce-oauth2' %} in your templates

If using the sandbox mode:

• Fill these settings instead:

  SOCIAL_AUTH_SALESFORCE_OAUTH2_SANDBOX_KEY = '<App UID>'
  SOCIAL_AUTH_SALESFORCE_OAUTH2_SANDBOX_SECRET = '<App secret>'
  

• And this backend:

  AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS = (
      ...
      'social_core.backends.salesforce.SalesforceOAuth2Sandbox',
      ...
  )
  

• Then you can start using {% url social:begin 'salesforce-oauth2-sandbox' %} in your templates
