1. authenticate a customer portal using SOAP login() method and LoginScopeHeader
2. receive SessionID in LoginResult object
3. How can I use SessionID to redirect the user's browser to the customer portal and immediately log them in?

I've tried following these steps to use frontdoor.jsp (http://help.salesforce.com/apex/HTViewHelpDoc?id=security_frontdoorjsp.htm), but it's not working.

Am I missing something obvious?
Is there a better way to do this?

I'm following this tutorial:

https://na6.salesforce.com/help/doc/en/remoteaccess_oauth_web_server_flow.htm

 

When I get to the final step - requesting the auth token - I always get an undocumented "unsupported_grant_type" message. Seems like this is some kind of generic error message, but I can't get around it.

 

I correctly retrieve a code form the initial GET request. Fine.

I generate a POST using that code:

 

POST /services/oauth2/token HTTP/1.0 Host: login.salesforce.com User-Agent: Drupal (+http://drupal.org/) Content-Length: 300 grant_type=authorization_code&code=aPrxVyeZrusRBnc3MMnY7pNlQsARBRDqXQTQ12UzEIDjUBJjlgXOq4_IUp.9E3k%3D&client_id=XXXXXXXXXXXXX&client_secret=XXXXXXXXXXXXX&redirect_uri=https%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%2FRestTest%2Fsalesforce%2Foauth

 

And the response is always the same:

 

{"error":"unsupported_grant_type","error_description":"grant type not supported"}

 

Everything is properly url encoded, and I've followed the directions to a T.

Any ideas?

 

 

Today we’re excited to announce the new Salesforce Developers Discussion Forums. We’ve listened to your feedback on how we can improve the forums.  With Chatter Answers, built on the Salesforce1 Platform, we were able to implement an entirely new experience, integrated with the rest of the Salesforce Developers site.  By the way, it’s also mobile-friendly.

We’ve migrated all the existing data, including user accounts. You can use the same Salesforce account you’ve always used to login right away.  You’ll also have a great new user profile page that will highlight your community activity.  Kudos have been replaced by “liking” a post instead and you’ll now be able to filter solved vs unsolved posts.

This is, of course, only the beginning — and because it’s built on the Salesforce1 Platform, we’re going to be able to bring you more features faster than ever before.  Be sure to share any feedback, ideas, or questions you have on this forum post.

Hats off to our development team who has been working tirelessly over the past few months to bring this new experience to our community. And thanks to each of you for helping to build one of the most vibrant and collaborative developer communities ever.

I've defined a custom object with an email address data type field. Is there a way to re-use the existing email validation that Salesforce implements? I'd like to do as much validation prior to inserting the record. I can implement my own but would rather re-use.

Hey,

Having a problem updating an Account Name where an ampersand is present.

PHP is returning the following error:
Uncaught SoapFault exception: [soapenv:Client] The entity name must immediately follow the '&' in the entity reference.

Now I've tried escaping the ampersand (eg: \&) to no avail... Is there a way to use this character with PHP / Salesforce API ? Can I use Unicode or HTML encoding on this?
