Resolve the connection issue

Salesforce

  1. Deauthorize the data connection.
  2. (Optional) Revoke the Code42 OAuth-connected app.
    When you deauthorize the connection, Code42 automatically deletes its authorization and connection information, including any OAuth tokens required to access your Salesforce environment. However, you can also revoke the Code42 app in Salesforce to increase security.
    1. Log in to Salesforce using the credentials assigned to the Code42 service account.
    2. In the upper-right corner of the screen, click the profile icon and then click Settings.
    3. In the navigation menu, go to My Personal Information > Connections.
    4. Locate the Code42 application in the OAuth Connected Apps table and then click Revoke in the Action column.
  3. Verify the Code42 service account's details:
    1. Verify that the profile has the correct permissions.
    2. Verify that the user's username and password credentials are valid and have not expired.
  4. Set up the data connection again.
