EnvironmentProduct: Connect(64) for ODBC Salesforce driver
Version: All supported versions
OS: All supported platforms
Database: Salesforce
Application: All supported applications
Question/Problem Description
Is there a way for multiple users to connect using the same Salesforce ODBC data source?
Steps to Reproduce
Clarifying Information
Error Message
Defect Number
Enhancement Number
Cause
Sharing a single set of Salesforce driver local files by multiple connections is not supported,
Resolution
For multiple users/connections to use the same ODBC data source, set up the data source without specifying the User Name and Security Token (these fields should be left blank). This will allow a separate set of Salesforce driver local files to be created for each user.

Because the security token is not listed in the data source, the IP address where the application is running must be added to the Salesforce trusted IP addresses to make the connection trusted by Salesforce.
