1. About this document


This document provides step-by-step instructions to configure a Salesforce account in SAFE.

Important
  • This document only applies to configuring a single Salesforce account in SAFE.
  • To configure multiple Salesforce accounts in SAFE, raise a service request to SAFE support to assist you.


2. Introduction


This integration allows you to onboard a Salesforce account in SAFE. Once the connection is established, SAFE fetches the security misconfigurations of the configured account.

3. Prerequisites


A user with a system administrator role in Salesforce is required to create and authorize the connected app.

4. Create a connected application and generate connection details


Important
By default, Salesforce opens in Lightning experience; you must switch to the Salesforce Classic UI experience to perform the below steps. Refer to the Salesforce documentation here.

You must create a Connected App in the Salesforce account first with the following OAuth settings:

  • Manage user data via APIs (api)
  • Perform requests at any time (refresh_token, offline_access).

Follow the below step-by-step instructions to create a connected app:

  1. Log in to Salesforce as an administrator.
  2. In the drop-down list of the account (in the upper-right corner), click Setup.
  3. In the left-hand pane, click Create > App under Build.
  4. Scroll down on the Apps page to find the "Connected Apps" pane.
  5. In the Connected Apps pane, click the New button.
  6. Under the Basic information, enter the Connected App Name, API Name, and Contact Email.
    1. Connected App Name
      Example: SAFE_SFDC
    2. Contact Email
  7. Under API (Enable OAuth Settings), mark the Enable OAuth Settings checkbox.
  8. Enter the below Callback URL
    <BASE_URL of SAFE>/api/v3/saas-apps/auth-code
  9. Select the following under OAuth scopes:
    1. Manage user data via APIs (api)
    2. Perform requests at any time (refresh_token, offline_access)
  10. Click the Save button.
    Note: The system may take 2 to 10 minutes to reflect the connected app on the server.

  11. Once the Connected App is created, it will be available under the Connected Apps pane. Go to the Connected Apps pane and click the newly created SAFE_SFDC Connected App.  
  12. Click the Manage Consumer Details button available under API (Enable OAuth Settings). The system displays the Consumer Key(Client ID) and Consumer Secret(Client Secret).
  13. Copy and Save the Consumer Key(Client ID) and Consumer Secret(Client Secret) to use it while configuring Salesforce in SAFE in the next section.

    Alternatively, you can open SAFE in a new tab, go to the Salesforce configuration page and enter the connection details in their respective field.

  3. Once the sync is complete, you can view the Salesforce assessment results.
    To view the result:
