Force.com Explorer Login Issues

Hello.

I just downloaded Force.com explorer, and hav a question.

 

When the login screen pops up, is it expecting the developer login I created at Force.com, or the name and password in the config file?

Neither works, so I may not even be asking the right question!

 

Thanks.

Launch Force.com Explorer

 

Tools-->option ---> Login

check the EndPoint and server Url , This should be https://www.salesforce.com/  for Force.com account  (YOur one)

and https://test.salesforce.com/  for SandBox

 

Hope this willl help you

 

Thanks,

Bala

Yes, that should be developer login you created at Force.com.

My user name and password allow me access to the Application online, but do not get me access to either APEX or Force.com Explorer.

I reset my security token, and appended the new one to my password.

 

No luck.

 

 

Any suggestions?

 

Thanks.

Also check out End Point URL in config file

 

is it www.salesforce.com  or test.salesforce.com

 

For FOrce.com account It should be www.salesforce.com

 

Hope this will help you

I see a 'Last Login' entry, but no 'Login History'. Guess I will check with our administrator.

Does your Profile is API Enabled ?

 

check with your SAlesforce administrator

You need to provide username and password along with security token, nothing else.

Example-

User Name: abc@de.com

Password:  your Password + Security Token

Thanks,

 

I am trying to use:

UserName:   MyUserName

Password:     MyPasswordMySecurityToken

 

...to no avail
reesereese

...and, yes, the username is in the form of an email address.

 

As stated earlier, it gets me access to the online application, but not to the Force.com explorer.

 

Thanks again

Thank you.

It was actually in the Advanced options, had to pick Sandbox.

 

 

Thanks again.

When a user can’t log into Force.com Explorer and they have exhausted all of the normal solutions they may have a corrupted file in their local profile.  Deleting the FDE folder in the profile may fix the problem.

rd "C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\FDE" /s

Sorry for very late reply. I just found out today that for those using Developer org, you need to change your Environment setting in Force.com Explorer. I was beating my brains out trying to login with my password + my token.

Go to Manage Account, select Other (Specify) in Environment and enter login.salesforce.com for Hostname.

Hope this helps.
