https://login.salesforce.com

• Basic Information
  • Connected App Name: An application name must be specified.
  • API Name: The API Name is based on the application name and generated automatically, but you may modify it.
  • Contact Email: A contact email must be specified.
• API (Enable OAuth Settings)
  • Enable OAuth Settings: Check this box to enable OAuth.
  • Callback URL (OAuth Redirect URI): Specify one or more callback URLs. This is the URL that Salesforce calls back to your application during the authorization code flow.

    Notes:

    • If you are using Postman to implement or test OAuth connectivity, the callback URL may be either of the following:

      https://oauth.pstmn.io/v1/callback

      https://www.getpostman.com/oauth2/callback

      For details, see Obtaining access and refresh tokens with Postman.

    • If you are using Hybrid Data Pipeline, the callback URL is:

      https://MyHDPDomain:8443/hdpui/oauth2callback

      where MyHDPDomain is the name of the Hybrid Data Pipeline host or load balancer.

  • Use digital signatures. Check this box if you are using the JWT OAuth flow, and upload a certificate if required.
  • Selected OAuth Scopes: Choose OAuth scopes to define permissions for the application. For example, to grant an application full access to Salesforce resources at any time, you would specify the following scopes:
    • Full access (full): Allows access to all data accessible by the logged-in user, and encompasses all other scopes.
    • Perform requests at any time (refresh_token, offline_access): Allows a refresh token to be returned when the requesting client is eligible to receive one.
    Note: The values you select should be saved to a secure location. You will need to specify these values if you use are using the authorization code flow to obtain access and refresh tokens, as described in Obtaining access and refresh tokens with Postman.
