Your default web browser opens to the web site, so that you can authorize the connector to access Salesforce.
After you authorize the connector, the OAuth tool obtains the access token from Salesforce and creates a file named oauth.cfg
, in the connector's installation folder. This file contains the token(s) required by the connector to retrieve information from Salesforce. The default configuration automatically uses the token to authenticate with Salesforce because the parameters in oauth.cfg
are included in the connector configuration (for information about how to include configuration parameters from other files, see Include an External Configuration File).
