Learn how to seamlessly integrate Firebase Authentication with Salesforce for better data syncing and enhanced app security. Follow our step-by-step guide to achieve smooth, secure results.
Blending Firebase Authentication with Salesforce can create an ongoing and secure user experience. Firebase Authentication offers multiple ways to authorize users. On the flip side, Salesforce is a top-tier customer relationship management (CRM) platform. Merging these two can streamline user authentication in Salesforce through Firebase's powerful tools. This piece will delve into the advantages of integration, outline necessary prerequisites, explore integration options, and finally, lay out a detailed, step-by-step guide for the entire integration journey.
Alright, let's get Salesforce ready to accept JWT tokens from Firebase. Here's how you do it:
Log in to your Salesforce account.
Head over to Setup.
In the Quick Find box, type 'Auth. Providers' and select it.
Click New Auth. Provider and pick 'Open ID Connect'.
Give it a name, like 'Firebase Authentication'.
Enter the URL Suffix, which can be the same as the name.
For the Consumer Key and Consumer Secret fields, just put any value. Firebase doesn't need these.
Leave the Authorize Endpoint URL, Token Endpoint URL, Default Scopes, and Send access token in header fields blank. Firebase doesn't use these.
In the Token Issuer field, type https://securetoken.google.com/[project-id], replacing [project-id] with your Google project id.
For the Custom User Info Endpoint URL, enter https://www.googleapis.com/identitytoolkit/v3/relyingparty/getAccountInfo?key=[api-key], swapping [api-key] with your Firebase API key.
Do the same for the User Info Endpoint URL: https://www.googleapis.com/identitytoolkit/v3/relyingparty/getAccountInfo?key=[api-key].
Click Save. You'll see a screen with the generated Callback URL. Copy that URL.
Now, let's move on to Firebase.
Log in to your Firebase account.
Open your Firebase project.
Click the gear icon on the left side and select 'Project Settings'.
Go to the 'Service Accounts' tab.
Under Firebase Admin SDK, click 'Generate New Private Key'.
Download and save the JSON file with the service account credentials.
Go to the Authentication section.
Under the 'Sign-in Method' tab, click 'Email/Password' and make sure it's set to ENABLED.
Navigate to the 'Cloud Messaging' tab.
Let's wrap this up:
Go back to your Salesforce account.
Navigate to the Auth. Providers screen.
Under the Firebase Authentication entry, click the Callback URL.
Copy the Callback URL from the page that appears and paste it into the Redirect URI field in the Firebase Project Settings.
Click Save.
And there you have it! Firebase Authentication is now hooked up with Salesforce.
