Salesforce.com Authentication Controller Service

[fojcikr]

Hi,
I've added the Salesforce processors to NiFi. When I'm trying to configure DescribeGlobalProcessor I'm getting the following error while creating a new service

No controller service types found that are applicable for this property.

I am able to configure the SalesforceUserPassAuthenticationService Controller Service, but I am not able to reference it in any component. That's in Nifi 1.3.0.

In Nifi 0.7.4 I am able to reference the Service in components, but I'm getting another error (quite similar though)

Salesforce.com Authentication Controller Service validated against [UUID] is invalid because Invalid Controller Service: [UUID] is not a valid Controller Service Identifier or does not reference the correct type of Controller Service

Any idea what might be wrong?

Hi @fojcikr I apologize for just now seeing this. I think you might be more interested in apache/nifi@7a0618d at this point. I know Salesforce offers many different mechanisms for OAuth 2 grant types. Which one in particular are you wanting to use? The link is for Client Credentials but I plan on adding the other 3 possible types outlined by the IETF in the coming weeks.

Hi @jdye64
Thanks for your reply. I might give it a try.
For now I managed to make it work with the InvokeHTTP processor. It looks like it's enough for OAuth2 authorization and other REST calls, especially when using with the execute script processor.

Having a similar issue with Nifi 1.7.1, "Incompatible Controller Service Configured".
