Specifies the file path where the OKTA MFA token is stored for authentication.

Data Type

string

Default Value

"%APPDATA%\\CData\\FinancialForce Data Provider\\CredentialsFile.txt"

Remarks

When using OKTA MFA authentication, the retrieved token is short-lived and typically expires after two hours. Once expired, the component requests a new MFA passcode, requiring a refreshed connection.

This property defines where the token is saved and read from to persist authentication across connections. By default, the token is stored at: "%APPDATA%\\CData\\Salesforce Data Provider\\CredentialsFile.txt". The %APPDATA% variable resolves to different system locations depending on your operating system:

Setting a custom credentials location can be useful for managing authentication across multiple environments or securing tokens in a controlled directory. However, ensure that the file is accessible to the driver and is not inadvertently deleted between sessions.
