Question: authenticate on batch mode without user interaction

[fmertins]

Hello, we're using DL being called from PowerShell scripts (that is, DL "batch mode" with "process conf" XML file definitions) and whenever it processes a "bean" it shows up the browser asking to authenticate.

Is there a way to configure only once a Connected App together DL so everytime DL runs it would already know the necessary credentials? Hence, allowing a better automated integration without user interaction?

Thank you in advance!

Hi @fmertins , have you specified sfdc.username and sfdc.password properties in process-conf.xml as documented here?

[fmertins]

Hi, yes... But the thing is, the Org is configured with SSO Login, so unfortunately we can't use regular credentials username+password I'm afraid.

Hi @fmertins ,

A customer had a similar issue. They wrote a wrapper script that gets the OAuth access token from the IdP and passes the access token to data loader as a command line option sfdc.oauth.accesstoken. Will a similar approach work for you?

We'll take a look at that approach, thanks a lot!!
