get access token

Hi. I am trying to get an access token for working with API

I always get the message 

{"error":"invalid_grant","error_description":"authentication failure"}*

I tried postman and curl 
 
curl -v https://login.salesforce.com/services/oauth2/token 
      -d "grant_type=password" -d "client_id=consumer_key" 
      -d "client_secret=consumer_secret" 
      -d "username=username" -d "password=password"

curl I repeat instruction from https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.api_iot.meta/api_iot/qs_auth_access_token.htm, but it still doesn't work 

what is wrong here?

Hi,

First, relax IP restrictions for the app.

Manage Apps -> Connected Apps -> (The name of my app)

Then setting "IP Relaxation" to "Relax IP restrictions".

As far as I know, there are no IP restrictions in the sandbox app.

Second, in the curl command which looked a lot like yours I left out the security token, so the password field was just the password.


Make sure IP restrictions are disabled as well and make sure that Permitted Users is set to "All users may self-authorize."

Please refer to the below posts for a similar discussion which has different solutions for such error see if that helps you.

Hi Vladimir,

I think you just have to apply the "POST" method in the postman and change the password with "(Password+SecurityToken)".
Security Token is present in my setting >>> Reset my security token.
It will come in your email and apply it.  

Please follow the link below for more details:-
