External system integration with Salesforce system

Hi,

 

Third party system wants to connect to Salesforce system. We have shared our enterprise wsdl with them.

Can they connect to Salesforce without having Salesforce user name and password+security token?

 

They are having problems connecting by using Salesforce user name and password and get session id and server url.

 

Please let me know if there any means to connect to Salesforce with out providing Salesforce user name and pasword.

If so, please let me know the details and also please provide if there any links with details on this method.

 

Thanks,

Babu.

Hi, JBabu,

 

Salesforce provide authentication without providing username and password. Salesforce uses Oauth 2.0 for this type of authentication and documented here well- http://help.salesforce.com/help/doc/en/remoteaccess_oauth_web_server_flow.htm . Reply in case of any doubt or please mark it as resolved if your problem solved.

 

 

Thanks.
