Salesforce Auth 2.0 JWT Bearer Token Flow Implementation

salesforce-jwt is an minimal implementation of the OAuth 2.0 JWT Bearer Token Flow that allows you to impersonate users on SalesForce.

Create key in osx terminal:

• openssl req -out CSR.csr -new -newkey rsa:2048 -nodes -keyout PrivateKey.key
• openssl x509 -req -in CSR.csr -signkey privateKey.key -out CSR.crt

It is compatible with jsforce.

Installation

$ npm install salesforce-jwt

Usage

 
var jwtflow = require('salesforce-jwt');
 
var clientId = '3MVG9A2kN3Bn17hvVNDOE5FX8c9hS...30dgSSfyGi1FS09Zg'; // This is the connected app consumerKey
var privateKey = require('fs').readFileSync('./privateKey.key', 'utf8');
var sandbox = false;
 
jwtflow.getToken(clientId, privateKey, '[e-mail]', sandbox, function(err, accessToken) {
    // err
    // accessToken will contain the token to use on SalesForce API.
});
 

This is an example on how to use it with jsforce.

var jsforce = require('jsforce');
var jwtflow = require('salesforce-jwt');
 
var clientId = '3MVG9A2kN3Bn17hvVNDOE5FX8c9hS...30dgSSfyGi1FS09Zg'; // This is the connected app consumerKey
var privateKey = require('fs').readFileSync('./privateKey.key', 'utf8');
var instanceUrl = 'https://na15.salesforce.com';
var sandbox = false;
 
jwtflow.getToken(clientId, privateKey, '[e-mail]', sandbox, function(err, accessToken) {
    // err
 
    var sfConnection = new jsforce.Connection();
 
    sfConnection.initialize({
      instanceUrl: instanceUrl,
      accessToken: accessToken
    });
 
});
