Step 2: Configure and publish the Salesforce connection

Configure the user credentials, object filter, and event consumer details in the SalesforceCDC connection, and then publish the connection.

1Open the SalesforceCDC connection.

2From the Runtime Environment list, select the Secure Agent.

3In the Authentication Type field, select OAuth or Password as required.

Based on the authentication type selected, perform one of the following steps:

- For Password authentication, enter values for the following properties:

▪ User Name: Salesforce developer account user name.
▪ Password: Salesforce developer account password.
▪ Security Token: Salesforce security token.

- For OAuth authentication, enter values for the following properties:

▪ Authentication URL: Endpoint used to make OAuth authorization requests to Salesforce.
▪ Token Request URL: Endpoint used to make OAuth token requests to Salesforce.
▪ Session Duration: Number of minutes after which the OAuth token expires.
▪ Authorize access: Click Authorize > enter Salesforce developer account credentials > click Allow.

The OAuth authentication process starts. You can check the current authorization status in the Authorization Status property.

4In the Connection Properties section, enter the Object Filter field value as Lead.

5Add an event source on the Event Sources tab, and in the Event Consumer field, enter /data/LeadChangeEvent. With this, the CDC sends a message when the lead object changes.

6 Save and publish the connection.
