Authenticate Qlik Sense on Premise's Salesforce Connector with oauth

[willtech93]

Greetings Qlikkers.

We have an on premise deployement where we need to authenticate via the salesforce connector to the app created there. We had this connection working correctly until a few couple of weeks, where it promptps the following error:

Error: Connector reply error: An error occurred while making the HTTP request to https://keralty.my.salesforce.com/services/Soap/u/56.0. This could be due to the fact that the server certificate is not configured properly with HTTP.SYS in the HTTPS case. This could also be caused by a mismatch of the security binding between the client and the server.

Querying this error with salesforce admin, it mentions the following article where it mentions a Oauth connection is requiered in order to connect with salesforce Via connector.

The thing is, Qlik On Premise Salesforce connector doesn't have the method to authenticate via Oath, as the cloud version does.

Is there a workaround in order to connect to salesforce via qliksense legacy connectors?

Any input would be very much appreciated.

Thanks.

Hi @willtech93,

I can confirm that the built-in Salesforce connector in on-premises Qlik Sense Enterprise does not support OAuth authentication. 

Since the username-password flow has been blocked by Salesforce (as indicated in the article you referenced), and the native Salesforce connector in your on-premise deployment lacks OAuth capability, I can recommend these workarounds:

1. Use the REST connector: You can connect to Salesforce API endpoints using the REST connector, which does support OAuth authentication. This would allow you to establish OAuth2 connectivity with Salesforce while using your self-hosted Qlik Sense Enterprise environment.
2. Explore third-party connectors: There are third-party connectors available that offer OAuth support specifically for Salesforce integration with Qlik Sense Enterprise on-premises.
