Salesforce Login Invoker
Salesforce Login Invoker uses the Salesforce login API call to log in to salesforce.com with user name, password, and endpoint address properties as inputs. It then returns the session ID and server URL as properties in the target message object.
You can use the sessionID and serverURL to construct a session token, which allows you to connect to salesforce.com multiple times without having to log in repeatedly. You can also use the session token with the Salesforce.com connector. For information on how to set up and use session tokens, see the Salesforce connector section.
You should be familiar with Salesforce.com Web services before using this component.
Note:  The Salesforce Login invoker is SHA-256 compliant.
The following versions of the invoker are available:
• Salesforce Login Invoker for version 8.0 WSDL or earlier
• Salesforce 10.0 Login Invoker for the 10.0 (Summer '07) WSDL
• Salesforce Login Invoker version 3.0 supports Salesforce API version 42.0

UserName
Username to access salesforce.com
Password
The password to authenticate the above username.
Endpoint Address
Address for salesforce.com endpoint. If you do not set this option, the invoker uses the default. The default setting is based on the WSDL version. You can change the number in the URL to any supported version, including versions 2.5 through 16. The default value is https://www.salesforce.com/services/Soap/u/16.0
When you call this option, use Endpoint, as shown in this example:
sourceMsg.properties(“EndpointAddress”) = "https://www.salesforce.com/services/Soap/u/7.0"
All invoker property values can be specified as properties in the Source Message, and those properties override any invoker property values.
For example, assume you have a Script step before the invoker that contains the following:
sourceMsg.properties("EndpointAddress") = "https://www.salesforce.com/services/Soap/u/10.0"
The sourceMsg in the Script step is used as the endpoint address for the invoker. No matter what value is specified in the EndpointAddress invoker property, the sourceMsg property is used as the endpoint address.
