About This Guide

This guide walks you though an end-to-end Headless Identity implementation, from completing your Salesforce setup to calling Headless Identity API using a Postman collection. The example implementation in this guide is designed for a single-page app or public client.
Available in: both Salesforce Classic (not available in all orgs) and Lightning Experience
Available in: Enterprise, Unlimited, and Developer Editions

The guide takes you through these high-level tasks.

  • Complete prerequisites for Headless Identity.
  • Create an authentication provider.
  • Configure Experience Cloud settings.
  • Configure a connected app.
  • Use Postman to call Headless Identity APIs.

The guide also includes some JavaScript examples for implementing Headless Identity with a single-page app.

To use this guide, you must have a Salesforce admin account. We recommend completing these steps in a non-production environment, such as a sandbox or developer org, before you customize and deploy your own solution into production.
