How can i use OAuth2 with Soap API calls ?
I am currently authenticating into Salesforce by using
Service URL, username and password+securitytoken.
I want users to authenticate using OAuth2 now,(take out the username & password portion) but still make my SOAP calls so I have created a connected app and retrieved my client id and client secret.
If i use the following https://login.salesforce.com/services/oauth2/token?grant_type=password&client_id= <client_id>&client_secret=<client_secret>&username=<username>&password=<password>+ <securitytoken>
Cant i just stay and use normal username , password+securitytoken , what is the real purpose of the Connected App ?
Or do i need to send to https://login.salesforce.com/services/oauth2/authorize ?
I am trying to do this in a c# mvc app.
Any help with steps involved would be great ?
So basicaly i want to authenticate using my new connected app , but still make Soap calls , not REST , is this possible and do i need to use th new token in my calls to Soap , like adding it to the sessionid ?
