Salesforce

FortiCASB offers an API-based approach, pulling data directly from Salesforce via RESTful API. Authentication is done through OAUth2.0. FortiCASB uses an access token for API queries.

Prerequisites

To use API access, your organization must be using one of the following editions (the API is enabled by default):

  • Enterprise Edition
  • Unlimited Edition
  • Developer Edition
  • Performance Edition

The user account installed in FortiCASB must have the following permissions:

  • View All Data
  • View All Users
  • API Enabled

You may either use an existing account or create a new account. If you create a new account, wait at least 24 hours for the new account to take effect before granting access to FortiCASB.

The following features require "Manage Users" permission as well:

  • User login tracking
  • User IP address tracking
  • Geographical location tracking
  • User password change tracking

Without "Manage Users" permissions, FortiCASB cannot obtain user login IPs. Therefore, any user activity will not appear on the Activity map.

Installation
  1. From the menu on the left-hand side, select Overview > Dashboard.
  2. From the Cloud App Status widget, click ADD, located next to Salesforce.

  3. Click OK.
  4. You will be navigated to the Salesforce website for authentication.

    If you have a custom Salesforce domain, enter it here.

  5. Log in to authenticate.
  6. Salesforce will prompt you to allow or deny access.

  7. Click Allow to grant FortiCASB permissions to monitor your Salesforce application.

After you click Allow, you will be redirected back to the FortiCASB dashboard.

You can check the installation result and SaaS platform monitoring status in the Salesforce dashboard.

For more information on common installation issues, see "Troubleshooting".
