How to do authentication to salesforce from java class using Rest API

Hello,

        I want to do authentication from my java client. I got Rest API which authenticate using web Application client and its working fine. But my requirement is little bit different as I need to use normal java client which will authenticate me directly to Salesforce site.

        

 

Regards,

Deepak

Yes, you can use the username & password flow that's part of the oauth2 support.

You can pass username & password + secuirty Token to Salesforce login class and check that is valid or invalid at our java client. For this, you need to do following steps:--

 

1. Add WSDl into your java client as web reference. then it will automatically create SOAP functions into your java project.

2. call login salesforce method and pass username & password for authenticate. 

 

You will get proper session id in the response. then you are logged into salesforce.

I tried to do this way and form once URL as

https://login.salesforce.com/services/oauth2/authorize?grant_type=password&client_id=<Clinet ID>&client_secret=<Clinet secret>&username=<My username>&password=<password + token>

 

but I am getting

HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request
error=unsupported_response_type&error_description=response%20type%20not%20supported

as response is there any thing I am missing.

The request needs to goto the token endpoint, you're using the wrong url. it shouild be /token not /authorize
