1. Log into Salesforce and create a new Connected app. Name this app and API and provide your email address.

2. Enable OAuth Settings and set Callback URL to https://connector.qlik.com/auth/oauth/v3.htm.

3. Add the following OAuth Scopes:

   • Manage user data via APIs (api)

   • Access unique user identifiers (openid)

   • Perform requests at any time (refresh_token, offline_access)

4. Select Configure ID Token and set Token valid for to 720.

5. Deselect Require Proof Key for Code Exchange (PKCE) Extension for Supported Authentication Flows.

6. Scroll down and click Save.

   At this point Salesforce advises to allow from 2-10 minutes for your changes to take effect on the server before using the connected app.

7. Copy Consumer key to the Consumer Key connection setting.

9. Provide your Salesforce Host. You can copy this from the location bar in your browser when accessing your Salesforce instance.

10. Scroll down and click Add.
