Configuring the OAuth Service in Foundations
The OAuth Service is an additional authentication service that is introduced when accessing the Salesforcemetadata APIs. An administrator can grant permissions to the applicable connected app to enable the OAuth service.
To configure the OAuth service you need to revoke the default behavior of the connected app.
To revoke:
- Navigate to User | Settings | Advanced User Detail | OAuth Apps.
- Click Revoke next to the OAuth Service App.
The OAuth Service in the Feature Console
In the Feature Console, when you click Perform, you are redirected to the Salesforce page, where you:
- Click Allow to allow access to User and connected apps. Then you are redirected back to the feature console.
- Click Deny to deny access. Then you are redirected to the feature console and an OAuth login error message is displayed.
Installing and Customizing the Foundations OAuth Service Connected App
To install the OAuth Service connected app:
- Navigate to Setup | Connected App | OAuth Usage.
- Install the OAuth Service Connect App. If this app is not installed then the default behavior of the connected app is in use.
You can customize the behavior of the connect app by installing the connecting app and editing the policy options and other configuration settings. For more information on configuring connected apps, see the Salesforce Help.
