Hi,

 

 You can login into customer Portal from the VF page by following the below steps:

 

1. Identify the Customer Portal Contact.

2. Fetch the User Id of the corresponding Customer Portal Contact.

3. Fetch the Organization Id

3. Substitue the values in the url - /servlet/servlet.su?oid=valoid&suportaluserid=userid&retURL=/conid&targetURL=/home/home.jsp&suportalid=custportalid

 

where valoid - corresponding organization

            Userid -customer portal user

            conid  - corresponding contact Id

            custportalid - Id of the corresponding customer portal where you need to login.

 

Hope this helps.

 

Thanks
