Configuring Authentication

Some Salesforce servers are configured to require authentication for access. To connect to an Salesforce server, you must configure the Simba Salesforce ODBC Connector to use the authentication mechanism that matches the access requirements of the server and provides the necessary credentials.

You can set the connection properties for authentication in a connection string or in a DSN (in the odbc.ini file). Settings in the connection string take precedence over settings in the DSN.

The following authentication methods are available:

Using User Name And Password
Using OAuth 2.0
