Step Two: Create the Encrypted Password

Create the encrypted password using the key file that you generated in the previous step.

The Data Loader command-line interface is supported for Windows only.

Note

  1. In the same command prompt window, enter the following command.

    encrypt.bat –e <password><Salesforce_Security_Token> <key file path>

    Replace <password> with the password that you use to log in to Salesforce in Data Loader combined with your org's security token (no space in between). Replace <key file path> with the file path you created in the previous step.

    For example, if your Data Loader password is myP4sswordsRock and your org's security token is 00DE0X0A0M0PeLE!AQcAQH0dMHEXAM, then the command is:

    encrypt.bat -e myP4sswordsRock00DE0X0A0M0PeLE!AQcAQH0dMHEXAM C:\Users\jjang\.dataloader\dataLoader.key
  2. Copy the generated encrypted password string. You use this value in a later step.
