Confluent Local version 7. Unable to create salesforce bulk api connector

[edc]

good Morning.

I am testing Confluent Kafka Connect salesforce BulkAPI.
no matter what I do I run into a 400 error. the salesforce API connector has been successfully installed using confluent hub. It is up and running. I stoped it re-started several times, no issues. It just keeps throwing the 400 error. I have tried doing it in the UI via control center and also scripting it.
{
“error_code”: 400,
“message”: “Connector configuration is invalid and contains the following 3 error(s):\nCould not authenticate to Salesforce, please check the provided credentials.\nCould not authenticate to Salesforce, please check the provided credentials.\nCould not authenticate to Salesforce, please check the provided credentials.\nYou can also find the above list of errors at the endpoint /connector-plugins/{connectorType}/config/validate”
}

My credentials are correct since I verified them with CURL and Python.

this is the tutorial I followed.

[edc]

yes, there is a special character !. I can also shared the credentials. However, the site is not letting me post it.

[mmuehlbeyer]

did you put the conf in ““ or ‘‘

[edc]

when I try to put it. I get this error.
An error occurred: Sorry, new users can only put 2 links in a post. so here is a pic.

[edc]

as you can see I did not use any “” or "

[mmuehlbeyer]

I would put the password token in ""

hth,
michael

[edc]
