Salesforce, developed in 1999, is now a global leader in enterprise cloud computing. It assists companies of all sizes and industries worldwide to work more efficiently.
The Consumer Key and Consumer Secret are used in Salesforce as part of the OAuth authentication process to enable safe access to Salesforce APIs. The Consumer Key is a one-of-a-kind identification generated by Salesforce when you create a connected app. It is used to identify the application attempting to connect to the Salesforce APIs. The Consumer Secret is a private key that is generated in conjunction with the Consumer Key. It serves as a secret key for the application attempting to access the Salesforce APIs.
In the OAuth process, the Consumer Key and Consumer Secret are used together to securely authenticate and authorize an application to access the Salesforce APIs. This contributes to the security and privacy of sensitive data stored in Salesforce.
