This module enables server-to-server integration with Salesforce using the OAuth 2.0 client credentials flow. It allows applications to exchange their credentials for an access token, eliminating the need for direct user interaction, making it a secure option for automated data synchronization.
Sometimes you want to directly share information between two applications without a user getting in the way. For these scenarios, you can use the OAuth 2.0 client credentials flow. In this flow, the client app exchanges its client credentials defined in the connected app—its consumer key and consumer secret—for an access token. This flow eliminates the need for explicit user interaction, though it does require you to specify an integration user to run the integration. You can use this flow as a more secure alternative to the OAuth 2.0 username-password flow.
This module provides an authentication provider that uses the Salesforce OAuth Client credentials flow. This is very useful for use cases like Server-to-Server Integration. Ex. sending leads from a Drupal webform to Salesforce via Connected app.
