Hello all,
To secure an integration between Salesforce and another external service (which only exposes & uses SOAP API). This external service and Salesforce will transmit data to each other (creation or update), whether unidirectional or bidirectional. Do I have to use a connectedApp to secure these flows ? How can I use it ? Could you please share any example or article on this kind of situation ?
Thank you for your help.
Have a nice day !
Yes, you can use a Connected App to secure the integration between Salesforce and an external service that uses SOAP API. A Connected App is a framework that enables an external application to integrate with Salesforce using APIs and standard protocols, such as SAML, OAuth, and OpenID Connect. Connected apps use these protocols to authenticate, authorize, and provide single sign-on (SSO) for external apps ¹. You can create a Connected App in Salesforce and configure it with the appropriate settings based on how it will be used.
For example, you can configure the Connected App with OAuth authorization settings if you are integrating an external application with your Salesforce API.
Here is the reference: ConnectedApp | Metadata API Developer Guide | Salesforce Developers
