Remote Site Settings are a security feature that controls access to external web resources from your Salesforce organization. These resources can include services, APIs, or websites that your Salesforce org needs to communicate with. By default, Salesforce blocks calls to external URLs from within its platform due to security considerations. However, you can use Remote Site Settings to explicitly allow these calls. Remote site settings help you maintain a secure environment while allowing your Salesforce organization to interact seamlessly with external web resources as needed for your business processes. 

To configure remote site settings

  1. Go to Setup, enter Remote Site Settings in the Quick Find box, and select it.
  2. Click New Remote Site.
  3. Enter the following details:
    1. Remote Site Name: Enter a remote site name. For Example, RLPLoginURL.

    2. Remote Site URL: Enter the URL for the remote site. For example: https://login-rls.congacloud.com 

    3. Disable Protocol Security: To allow access to the remote site regardless of whether the user’s connection is over HTTP or HTTPS, select the Disable Protocol Security checkbox. When selected, Salesforce can pass data from an HTTPS session to an HTTP session, and vice versa. Only select this checkbox if you understand the security implications.
    4. Description: Enter a description of the site.
    5. Active: Select the checkbox.
  4. Click Save to finish, or click Save & New to save your work and begin registering an additional site.

You have configured the remote site in your salesforce org.
