I am trying to get access token from salesforce to access apex rest API. For this i am trying to get access token by sending request to 

https://login.salesforce.com/services/oauth2/token

I am setting all required headers

  grant_type: password
    username: ****UserName****
    password: ***********
    client_id: 3MVG9ZL0ppGP5UrAK9L_2UlHYraxj5LVGwS1B_vyAIzVVE4jOdt4i.aJCYuioKS7VsCuokwWAm2uIZKSms
    client_secret: 543527409660481357
Content-Type : multipart/form-data

I am trying to connect form chrome rest client>But i am getting error saying 

<html><body><table cellspacing=10>
<tr><td><span style="font-weight: bold; font-size: 12pt;">Illegal Request</span></td></tr>
<tr><td>You have sent us an Illegal URL or an improperly formatted request. </td></tr>
<tr><td></td></tr>
</table>

<!-- Body events -->
<script type="text/javascript">function bodyOnLoad(){if(window.PreferenceBits){window.PreferenceBits.prototype.csrfToken="null";};}function bodyOnBeforeUnload(){}function bodyOnFocus(){}function bodyOnUnload(){}</script>

</body>
</html>

I have created connected app and given all related details in headers too while requesting for tokenenter image description here

But i am confused about CallBackURL. What exactly should i give for this CallBackURL while accessing service from chrome rest client

Reset to default

Everything in the config looks good to me. Here's is a thought. Do you have a % sign in your password? If you do you need to convert it to %25 to get it to work.

Please correct following errors.

  1. set Content-Type to application/x-www-form-urlencoded
  2. You need to append your security token into your password without any space. i.e. if your password is happybirthday and if your security token string is 86fc85296f0a712910ed88c08763795c you will write happybirthday86fc85296f0a712910ed88c08763795c as your password.

If you don't have your security token you can reset that from following screen.

    it seems like you are doing GET request instead of POST request. Please do POST request. I can see same error if I change from POST to GET ;)

  • i am doing POST request only... but will there be any problem with CallBackURL. Because i have checked all headers, they seems to be fine

  • Callback URL do not have any effect on that.

Make sure you enter all details in the Post Form Category but not in the Get Form in the Advanced Rest Client. enter image description here
