Michael Hedrick 2 Exposing Rest Class security
Hello Everyone,
I am hoping I could get some feedback on what is the best and secure way to acomplish the following:
I was thinking that I would create Rest Class and exposing them to the external web services.
But was wondering, is this secure? Do I need to create a Connected App or what additional steps do I need to do to make sure that the call is coming from the correct external service.
Thanks,
M
I am hoping I could get some feedback on what is the best and secure way to acomplish the following:
- Have external webservices that need to create records in a salesforce
- Do not need to response to external webservice

Have external webservices that need to create records in a salesforce
Yes .. You can create an Apex Rest service and expose it to the external system ..
Do not need to response to external webservice
In this case you need to return resposnce and you can set as a void or boolean of Http Method
For security ..
You can use Oauth and On top of its you can use certificates and Some HTTP header as part of the request

Varaprasad I will take a look at that youtube video here in a bit.
Raj, I am not sure what this mean "In this case you need to return response and you can set as a void or boolean of Http Methods "
Will you show this in an example? Do I need to repsond to the webservice to acknoledge that I received the request?
Cheers,
