Identifying a SF user and account in an S-Control
I'm building a external application that will tie into the SalesForce interface using a S-Control in the hopes of eventually making a public application for the App Exchange.
I'm trying to uniquely identify the account and user of the application using the organization and user ids.
For example:
This would, of course, return an HTML page that would fill a panel in the SalesForce interface.
Is this a good way to proceed? Is there a better way to do this?

http://www.myserver.com/main.do?sfo={!$Organization.Id}&sfu={!$User.Id}

Maybe check the API docs for the "getUserInfo" call - it will give you much info of the current user and the organization.
Cheers,

Back to the original question, is there a way of uniquely identifying a user/account from a S-Control request (i.e. in the URL) that is considered "best practices"?
