What happens when you use OAuth in Salesforce?
When you use OAuth, you can avoid storing login credentials in your application. Instead, your application can prompt the user to log in using a standard Salesforce page, which returns an access token to your application.
Do you need a public URL for Salesforce?

Log in as your Salesforce user. Immediately you will be given the option to ALLOW or DENY the app to log into the Salesforce API as your user. Click ALLOW. Salesforce will now call your URL from Step 1, supplying you with the Authorization Code that you need to get your OAuth tokens.
