Set Up a Connected App for Headless Identity
A connected app is a framework that allows your off-platform app to request data from
Salesforce APIs. To integrate your single-page app with Headless Identity APIs, create a
connected app and configure its settings and access policies.
| Available in: both Salesforce Classic (not available in all orgs) and Lightning Experience |
| Available in: Enterprise, Unlimited, and Developer Editions |
As part of the connected app setup, you enable the Authorization Code and Credentials Flow. With this flow, you can set up headless login. Enabling this flow is also a prerequisite for enabling headless registration. You also define what Salesforce data your app can access with scopes and configure additional security settings and access policies. And you define a callback URL, which you use as the redirect_uri parameter during headless flows.
After you create a connected app, you get a consumer key, or client_id. During headless flows, your app passes the consumer key to Salesforce to identify itself.
