RELATED IDEAS

Automatic reconnection between Salesforce and IBM.

1. **Issue Description**:
  - We utilize the HELMS application to route platform events to third parties and update responses in Salesforce. The flow, designed in Designer, has been tested and deployed to the dashboard as a bar file. Recently, this flow connection has abruptly stopped due to an "Invalid Grant Reason." The application team must manually restart the Designer flow for it to function again. This issue significantly impacts production, especially during quarterly Salesforce releases & also when ever there is platform event limit exceeeding scenarios which is happening every alternate month, affecting thousands of leads to dealers. It would be helpfull greatly to connection reset without manually intervention for our American honda consumer application. To implement as per our analysis there is an error catch flow already exists in Designer, where we can do this enhancement to resolve the connection loss issue.

2. **Enhancement Request**:
  - This enhancement has been requested by the American Honda Team, who have expressed major concerns regarding this issue.

Please do let us know incase of further queires.

    Hi Varun,

    I hope this message finds you well.

    We have received a query from our internal leadership regarding the security disadvantages of Basic Authentication compared to OAuth. The concerns are highlighted in the points below:

    Disadvantages of Basic Authentication:

    • Mechanism: Basic Authentication involves sending a username and password with each request, typically encoded in Base64.
    • Security: This method is less secure because it exposes user credentials directly, making them vulnerable to interception and misuse.
    • Usage: While straightforward, it is not recommended for applications requiring robust security measures.

    Could you assist us in justifying these points to our leadership team?

    Thank you for your support.

    Best regards,

    Lahari

    Hi Kalyana,

    IBM Engineering team has recommended to use OAUTH for connecting to Salesforce which can resolve this issue.

    Please let us know if this fixes the issue at your end or no.
