Salesforce SSO Login into Drupal OAuth Client using OAuth / OpenID connect

Overview

Drupal Salesforce SSO integration will allow the users to log in to the Drupal site using the Salesforce Credentials. This SSO integration is achieved by the miniOrange OAuth Client module which uses the OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect (OIDC) Protocol.
In this document, we will help you to configure the single Sign-on login using the OAuth protocol between the Drupal site and the Salesforce.

Installation Steps

Configuration Steps

Setup Drupal as OAuth Client:

• After installing the module, navigate to the Configuration → miniOrange OAuth Client Configuration → Configure OAuth tab and select Salesforce from the Select Application dropdown list.
• Copy the Callback/Redirect URL and keep it handy.
• In the Display Name text field, enter the name of the application. For example, Salesforce.


Note: If your provider only supports HTTPS Callback/Redirect URLs and you have an HTTP site, please make sure to enable the 'Enforce HTTPS Callback URL' checkbox at the bottom of the tab.

Configure SSO Application in Salesforce:

• Sign in to your Salesforce Admin console.
• Navigate to the top header of the screen and select Setup.

• On the left, under Build, select Create, and then Apps.

• Click on the New button in the Connected Apps section.

• Provide the following details in the New Connected App panel's Basic Information section:
• Name of the connected app: In the Connected App Name text field, enter the name of the application.
• Enter the email address in the Contact Email text field.

• Under API (Enable OAuth Settings), enter the required details:
• To enable OAuth Settings, by clicking on the checkbox.
• In the Callback URL text field, paste the previously copied Callback/Redirect URL from Drupal.
• Select the OAuth scopes required for your Connected App. Check that your Drupal site has the same scopes. This signifies your Connected App has the necessary permissions to access Salesforce data.
• Save the changes by clicking on Save button.

• On the next screen, click the Continue button.

• Then, click on the Manage Consumer Details button.

• Salesforce assigns a unique Application ID and Secret to your application. Copy the Consumers Key and Consumer Secret from the Consumers Details section.

Integrating Drupal with Salesforce:

• Go to miniOrange OAuth Client module.
• In Drupal’s Configure OAuth tab and paste the copied Consumers Key and Consumer Secret from Salesforce in the Client ID and Client Secret text-field.
• Confirm the Scope & Endpoints and then click on Save Configuration button.

Scope	id
Authorize EndPoint	https://login.salesforce.com/services/oauth2/authorize
Access Token Endpoint	https://login.salesforce.com/services/oauth2/token
Get User Info Endpoint	https://login.salesforce.com/services/oauth2/userinfo

Test Connection between Drupal and Salesforce:

• After successfully saving the configurations, please click on the Test Configuration button to test the connection between Drupal and Salesforce.

• On a Test Configuration popup, if you don't have any active sessions on the same browser, you will be requested to login into the Salesforce. After successfully logging into the Salesforce, you will be provided a list of attributes received from the Salesforce.
• Select the Email Attribute from the dropdown menu in which the user's email ID is obtained and click on the Done button.


Note: Mapping the Email Attribute is mandatory for your login to Salesforce.

• On the Attribute & Role Mapping tab, please select the Username Attribute from the dropdown list and click on the Save Configuration button.

• Now log out and go to your Drupal site’s login page. You will automatically find a Login with Salesforce link there. If you want to add the SSO link to other pages as well, please follow the steps given in the image below:

Congratulations! You have successfully configured Salesforce as OAuth/OpenID Provider and Drupal as an OAuth Client.
