Procedure: How to Install the iWay Application Adapter for Salesforce

To install the adapter:

  1. Copy the installation files for the iWay Application Adapter for Salesforce to the following directory:
    iway_home\lib

    where:

    iway_home

    Is the root installation directory for iWay Service Manager (for example, iWay7).

    For more information, see iWay Application Adapter for Salesforce Installation Files.

  2. Ensure that you have added the public IP address of each server that is used to run iWay Service Manager to the Salesforce trusted IP addresses group.

    For more information, see How to Add a Public IP Address to the Salesforce Trusted IP Addresses Group.

    Note: You can view your current IP address by executing the ipconfig command from a command console. However, this may not be the address that your service provider exposes to the Internet. To verify your address, access the following URL:

    http://whatismyipaddress.com/
  3. Ensure that your Salesforce user account is API Enabled and has a password that does not expire.

    For more information, see How to Configure Your Salesforce User Account.

  4. If required, obtain your Salesforce security token from the Salesforce setup.

    For more information, see How to Obtain a Salesforce Security Token.

    This is only required if you are going to connect to Salesforce from an IP address that is not included in the Salesforce trusted IP addresses group.

    Note: It is strongly recommend that you do not use the Salesforce security token when defining a target using iWay Explorer.
