Connected Apps
A connected app integrates an application with Salesforce using APIs. Connected apps
use standard SAML and OAuth protocols to authenticate, provide single sign-on, and provide
tokens for use with Salesforce APIs. In addition to standard OAuth capabilities, connected
apps allow Salesforce admins to set various security policies and have explicit control over
who can use the corresponding apps.
