Naveen Jain Authenticating Users against Salesforce when not using force.com sites
Hi,
We are building a website (not force.com) but would like to use SalesForce as a repository of User information (including password if possible).
Questions are.
1. What are the advantages and disadvantages of using Salesforce for authentication versus using LDAP for authentication?
- Licensing, Cost implications
- Development/integration implications.
2. I checked out Salesforce Customer Portal and found that as soon as I enable a contact for Portal, a corresponding user account is created for the contact. I do not remember, but believe that I read somewhere when Service Cloud is enabled for a contactm then user account is not created.
Looking for thoughts and perspectives from people who have been through these issues before.
Thanks,
-Naveen
Am I the only one who is running into this design challenge?
I do not think so.
