In both Authorization Code and Credentials Flow for Customers and Partners and OAuth 2.0 Username-Password Flow user's Salesforce username-password is exchanged by the Third-party app with Salesforce Authorization server to obtain the access token.

In fact the Auth Code and Cred Flow passes the user's username password over browser call to obtain the auth code . Whereas , in Username-Password flow there is a possibility to do this exchange from the Third-Party app's backend-server to obtain the access token.

 

a. If the above is true , then is "Authorization Code and Credentials Flow for Customers and Partners" more / less / same secure compared to "OAuth 2.0 Username-Password Flow" ?

 

b. If more then how ?

 

c. If Less/same , then what should be most secure way to implement "headless login" for a Third-party app (client ) with Salesforce ( the resource server ) ?

1. Integrate with ABN lookup API ( a 3rd party api which provides ABN validation ) : Point-to-Point / IPaaS / on-Prem ESB 

2. Integrate with a cloud based application like Workday : Point-to-Point / IPaaS / on-Prem ESB

    I always prefer a middleware based integration. Part of it is because it is more straightforward to troubleshoot and another is that it also guides you to create an integration that 'fails safely', ie - so that it that can automatically recover without missing any data in case there are any interruptions in the network paths, credentials, middleware platform, etc. 'Point-to-Point' integrations tend to be architected to work in real time, but may miss transactions if the receiving side doesn't accept the data, the data doesn't pass validation rules, etc. (usually a message bus is not part of a real time, point-to-point integration). If the 'cost of middleware' seems intimidating, check out NodeRed.org. It's an open source, node-js programming platform and  can be hosted on an AWS EC2 for <$5 per month.

@Suzanne Ferguson , Can we have the Review board mock question and answer recorded session? The main purpose of this mock Q&A session would be getting the idea, how much depth the review board question goes to. I have seen a couple of sessions in the Ladies Be Architect. But not sure whether these sessions resemble 10% of the actual review board Q&A. It would be beneficial for all the people who are preparing for the CTA.
