If I want to connect to my sandbox then the host name should be https://test.salesforce.com. What should the host name be if I want to connect SQL Dataloader to my developer box. Thanks

Reset to default

You should be able to see your dataloader login attempt on your users login history. This can often reveal the issue. If you don't see the login attempt, you are probably pointing to the wrong endpoint (login.salesforce.com or test.salesforce.com). If you do see the attempt, you should see why you couldn't log in, either invalid password, or missing security token.

  • Do you know how to open my IP address wide open? Currently, I have Starting IP: 0.0.0.0 and Ending IP: 1.255.255.255 Thanks

  • Either remove the ip security restriction or change the end value to 255.255.255.255

  • Thanks, I'm still unable to login using SQL Dataloader. My username and password are correct because I'm able to log into my Developer box. And there is nothing wrong with my SQL Dataloader because I am able to connect to production org.

  • Does my API needs to be enabled? Is it on my default?

  • API is enabled by default if you are in a system administrator profile. Sounds like this is not an oAuth login. Are you appending the security token to the end of your password?

  • Everything is working now. I login using my security token appending to my pw. Thanks
