Question #: 85
Topic #: 4
Universal Containers (UC) wants to use Salesforce for sales orders and a legacy of system for order fulfillment. The legacy system must update the status of orders in 65* Salesforce in real time as they are fulfilled. UC decides to use OAuth for connecting the legacy system to Salesforce. What OAuth flow should be considered that doesn't require storing credentials, client secret or refresh tokens?

Suggested Answer: B Vote an answer

The JWT Bearer Token flow is an OAuth flow in which an external app (also called client or consumer app) sends a signedJSON string to Salesforce called JWT to obtain an access token. The access token can then be used by the external app to read & write data in Salesforce1. This flow does not require storing credentials, client secret or refresh tokens, as theJWT is self-contained and includes information about the app and the user2. The other flows require either user interaction (Web Server flow and User Agent flow) or storing credentials (Username-Password flow)3.
