Salesforce Data Connector authentication timeouts happen because of poor session management and lack of proper token refresh mechanisms, especially in organizations with strict security policies.

Here’s how to maintain stable connections that don’t require constant re-authentication.

Maintain stable Salesforce connections using Coefficient

Coefficient addresses authentication challenges with enterprise-grade session management that includes MFA support, persistent OAuth token management, and automatic session refresh without user intervention.

How to make it work

Step 1. Connect Salesforce to Coefficient using OAuth.

Use the secure OAuth connection process that handles MFA automatically. Coefficient maintains persistent tokens and manages refresh cycles without disrupting your workflow.

Step 2. Enable “Remember this device” during MFA setup.

When prompted for MFA during initial connection, select the option to remember your device. Coefficient stores this preference and reduces future authentication prompts.

Step 3. Configure advanced settings for enhanced stability.

Set up API version compatibility, adjust Apex trigger compatibility settings, and use a dedicated integration user with appropriate permissions for maximum connection stability.

Step 4. Set up IP whitelisting for enhanced security.

Add Coefficient’s IP ranges to your Salesforce trusted IP list. This reduces security-related disconnections while maintaining your organization’s security standards.

Step 5. Monitor connection health through Coefficient’s dashboard.

Use the connection monitoring features to track authentication status and receive clear notifications if manual re-authorization is ever needed. The platform provides detailed error logs for troubleshooting.

Stop fighting authentication issues

Constant re-authentication disrupts productivity and creates data gaps in critical workflows. Coefficient’s robust session management ensures your Salesforce integration remains stable across extended sessions. Get started with reliable authentication today.
