Automatic Login via an external button
I am attempting to have my non-users of salesforce.com use
the system without their knowing it. I want to place a button or link on
my company intranet and have that automatically log them into the system as a particular
user and create a new custom object record. When they click the save
button I want the system to log them out of salesforce.com and send them back
to the company intranet.
Can anyone give me some examples of how this would be done, and any code that
would be necessary.
I really appreciate any help,
JD
I would create your own form to collect the data for the record since they aren't users they won't know what to do. Your post would use the API to create the record and on success you could navigate anywhere you want. If you can't use the API, then you can't do this, period.
Cheers
I want them to use the system, as three of the fields are lookup fields, but I would just rather them not go through the login and create new process. I want them to push either a link or a button and it to log them in as a specific user and create this particular record.
I don't know coding very well so I don't really know where to start. I was hoping for some examples or something.
Any more help is always appreciated.

Just a slight correction -
The login link is https://www.salesforce.com/login.jsp?pw=PASSWORD&un=USERNAME
If you use https. the password and user name are encrypted before being sent out over the internet.
Also, I agree with David Carroll in that you should not put the user into salesforce.com - too much of a security risk. Instead, create your own form pages and look-ups in your own code.
I wasn't thinking this through properly. Thanks
