Credentials

back

To access Salesforce APIs, there needs to be authentication between the client and the org. go-sfdc uses OAuth 2.0 and this package provides the credentials needed to authenticate.

The user is able to use the Providers that are part of this package, or implement one of their own. This allows for extendability beyond what is currently supported.

Currently, this package supports grant type of password OAuth flow. The package may or may not be support other flows in the future.

Examples

The following are some example(s) of creating credentials to be used when opening a session.

Password

creds := credentials.PasswordCredentials{
	URL:          "https://login.salesforce.com",
	Username:     "my.user@name.com",
	Password:     "greatpassword",
	ClientID:     "asdfnapodfnavppe",
	ClientSecret: "12312573857105",
}

config := sfdc.Configuration{
	Credentials: credentials.NewPasswordCredentials(creds),
	Client:      salesforceHTTPClient,
	Version:     44,
}

JWT

// read the key file
privateKeyFile, err := os.Open("/path/to/server.key")
if err != nil {
    panic()
}
pemfileinfo, _ := privateKeyFile.Stat()
var size int64 = pemfileinfo.Size()
pembytes := make([]byte, size)
buffer := bufio.NewReader(privateKeyFile)
_, err = buffer.Read(pembytes)
pemData := []byte(pembytes)
privateKeyFile.Close() // close file
signKey, err := jwt.ParseRSAPrivateKeyFromPEM(pemData)

// prepare the credentials
jwtCreds := credentials.JwtCredentials{
    URL: "https://login.salesforce.com",
    ClientId: "glfeoeirjgouwehf",
    ClientUsername: "my.user@name.com",
    ClientKey: signKey,
}

config := sfdc.Configuration{
    Credentials: credentials.NewJWTCredentials(jwtCreds),
    Client:      &http.Client{},
    Version:     44,
}
