Note

Connected Apps Installed by Salesforce

Some Salesforce client apps are implemented as connected apps and automatically installed in your organization, such as Salesforce1 or Salesforce for Outlook. So you might see more connected apps in your list of installed apps than you expected.

These Salesforce connected apps are distributed in two managed packages: one for Salesforce1-related apps and one for non-Salesforce1-related apps. The list of included apps can change with each release. However, to simplify administration, each package is asynchronously installed in your organization the first time any user in the organization accesses one of these apps.

If you want to install (or reinstall) the Salesforce1 package for connected apps, proactively, you can install it from the AppExchange.

The packages appear in Setup under the Installed Packages List.

Click on each Package Name to see the list of components. The following are some of the components for the Salesforce Connected Apps package.

The Force.com IDE, Force.com Migration Tool, Dataloader Bulk, and Dataloader Partner are “wrapper” connected apps that use the SOAP API to connect to Salesforce, instead of OAuth like other connected apps. But, they use the connected apps framework to allow or deny users access to the apps in an organization.

Note

The following are some of the components for the Salesforce1 and Chatter Apps package.

To manage these installed connected apps, from Setup, enter Connected Apps in the Quick Find box, then select the option for managing connected apps, and you’ll see the automatically installed Salesforce connected apps appear in the list as managed package installed apps along with your other installed connected apps.
