Increase data security by using OAuth 2.0 authentication with your Salesforce external
input and output connectors. The SOAP login() API isn't supported after v64. To
maintain data sync, you must upgrade all existing Salesforce external connections to use OAuth
before the Winter ‘27 release.
Where: This change applies to Salesforce Data Pipelines in Lightning Experience and Salesforce Classic. CRM Analytics is available for an extra cost in Enterprise, Performance, and Unlimited editions.
How:
- In Salesforce setup, configure an External Client App (ECA) for OAuth authentication.
- In your Salesforce external connections, select the OAuth authentication type.
- Add the Client ID and Client Secret values in the connection settings.
Note The Username, Password, and
Service URL settings are no longer supported.
