Yes, you need that..Login to SFDC and go to Setup. Under you name setup you can search for security token. You can reset that and you will get a token in your email. So when trying to login using Data loader .. Just use your password+the security token in the password fiel. Example : If you password if 1234 and security token is xyz you need to enter passwiord in DL as 1234xyz

server host should be https://login.salesforce.com I guess. not na15 . What is the edition you want to connect ?

you said you are using only password or security token along with the password ? Also please check if your account is locked as after 3 unsuccessful attempt your account might get locked..

Thank you for quick reply.

 

I am using my developer edition with no problem. I can't use ONLY apex data-loader with the same ID / PASSWORD.

 

Security token ? I don't have any security token. Is there any required settings for security-token ?

 

Thanks,
Haga
