How can I connect to Salesforce from Data Factory if I cannot input the security token - I get an invalid Session ID error? Before, I could connect easily using my email, password and security token. However, with the new display i need to us the Salesforce app customer key and secret - this is fine since I can connect to the linked service of Salesforce. However, after that no objects are shown and a session invalid for the API connection is displayed. I believe it is due to the fact that the connection needs the security token but I cannot input this anywhere. Please can i get some help on this? I am struggling to find someone to look into this and it is affectig quite negatively our company's performance.

Thanks in advance
