   - To authenticate with OAuth, click OAuth, and click Next. Then enter the application key and application secret that you obtained from Salesforce when you created an application to represent the connector. Ensure the redirect URL matches the redirect URL you specified in the OAuth application settings and click Next.

   The connector is installed.

1. Complete the installation procedure.

   - If you chose to authenticate with a user name and password, no further configuration is required. Click Next to complete the installation.

   - If you chose to authenticate with OAuth, you can run the OAuth tool, which obtains the access tokens necessary to retrieve information from Salesforce.

     - To run the OAuth tool, select the Run OAuth tool check box, and click Next.

       Your default web browser opens to the web site, so that you can authorize the connector to access Salesforce.

       After you authorize the connector, the OAuth tool obtains the access token from Salesforce and creates a file named `oauth.cfg`, in the connector's installation folder. This file contains the token(s) required by the connector to retrieve information from Salesforce. The default configuration automatically uses the token to authenticate with Salesforce because the parameters in `oauth.cfg` are included in the connector configuration (for information about how to include configuration parameters from other files, see Include an External Configuration File).

     - To finish installing the connector without running the OAuth tool, clear the Run OAuth tool check box and click Next. For information about how to run the OAuth tool at a later time, see Configure OAuth Authentication.
