Authentication for packaged Web services

Hello,

 

I am packaging a few Web services I am building for an app that integrates with a 3rd party software that calls these Web services. My question is: If various Users install my app, how do I build the authentication in to my Web services so that a Web service call from the 3rd party system goes through without having the 3rd party system to store Salesforce.com credentials of the ORGs that install the app.

 

Thanks!

You can use the sessionID and serverURL. As long as the transaction begins from SFDC, these two parameters can be passed to your third party system, which can then be used to log into that org and call the desired web services.

 

Check out this article for details.

 

Hope that helps,
