In this session, we’ll dive deep into the OAuth 2.0 JWT Bearer Token Flow—the gold standard for integrating external systems with Salesforce without the need for interactive login prompts.

This is a hands-on, practical session focused on the "how-to" of secure architecture rather than high-level theory. You’ll learn how to leverage digital certificates and connected apps to create seamless, automated data exchanges that satisfy even the most stringent security reviews.

What you’ll learn:

•⁠ ⁠The Anatomy of a JWT: Understanding headers, payloads, and digital signatures.

•⁠ ⁠Certificate Management: How to generate and manage certificates required for a secure handshake.

•⁠ ⁠Configuring the Connected App: Step-by-step setup for pre-authorizing users and scopes.

•⁠ ⁠The "Headless" Advantage: Why JWT beats traditional Web Server flows for background processes and middleware.

Whether you’re an architect designing a new middleware strategy or a developer tired of managing expiring refresh tokens, this session will provide the concrete patterns and security best practices you need to connect your stack with confidence.

Join us to learn how to build professional-grade, automated integrations—without ever seeing a login screen.
