While assembling your reports you receive this error message:

Your Salesforce password has more than likely expired.  Even though you are logged into Salesforce, if you were to log out, you would probably be prompted to change your password.

Go ahead and log out of Salesforce, then follow these steps to update Assemblage to reference the new password for Salesforce:

Prior to setting up your Salesforce Connection in Assemblage, you must obtain this security token.

Once you have the security token, you are ready to configure the connection for Assemblage.

Configure Assemblage to connect to Salesforce

This configuration is available from the main Assemblage application under Tools > Preferences > Salesforce connections:



Enter the Salesforce username in the Salesforce user field

Enter the password and security token in the Password field (enter your password first immediately followed by the security token, without any spaces or characters in between)

Select "OK"
