SSO and Customer Portal

Hello,

I have a question and am a little confused after reading the documentation.

I want to use SSO for the customer portal. My users are authenticated on a custom app. From the custom app when they click on a link, I need to then forward them to the Customer Portal and do not want them to login again.

Questions -

1. Do I need to use federated authentication or can I use delegated authentication and what is the preferred way?

2. If while logging in, If I find that a user does not exist in Salesforce, can I then create a user by using the api and then log them in?

Thanks

Rohit

Content Link not working from Visual force page

Hello,

I have a VF page which has a link to a content within salesforce. A content url is normally like

/sfc/#version?selectedDocumentId=069Q00000004Elt

When I put a relative url on the Visualforce Page, the link renders as

https://cs3.visual.force.com/sfc/#version?selectedDocumentId=069Q00000004Elt

This works fine in Mozilla and Chrome but IE is not able to render this url.

IE forwards it to

https://cs3.salesforce.com/sfc/#search

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Not able to login as Authenticated Web Site User

Hello,

1. I created a Customer Portal, enabled login/self registration. Set the Default New User License to "Platform Portal" and the Default New User Profile to "Authenticated Website".

2. Created a Site and enabled login with the Customer Portal.

3. I am able to register a new user through the SiteRegister VF page but am not able to login. I have tried resetting password/ creating new users but cannot login. I get the following error -

"Your login attempt has failed. Make sure the username and password are correct".

I checked the user created from self registration and it all looks fine.

4. I then tried to login into the Customer Portal by using the login url of the Customer Portal. I get the following error -

"The maximum number of logins has been exceeded. Please contact your administrator for more information."

I tried to reset the password and try again but the same issue.

5. The only place I can login in from is the Contact record - "Login As Portal User"

Can someone help me with why I am not able to login from Sites.

Thanks

Managed Packages with Static Resources

I am creating a managed package which has a Static Resource. The static resource has few stylesheets.

I wanted to give the customer the flexibility to edit the style sheets.

If I make the resource as part of the stylesheet, the end user cannot edit it. What is the best way to handle this?

Thanks

"With Sharing" keyword has no effect

Hello,

I have a custom VF page and controller. The controller is declared as

public with sharing class MyCustomController {

The user accessing this page is a Partner user and does not have "Edit" Permissions on Leads but is still able to assign leads to other users.

I also tried assigning leads to a user who does not have "Read" permission on leads and that also surprising worked.

As per my understanding if I declare the class with the "with sharing" keyword, it should take into account the user permission.

Can someone explain why the "with sharing" is not having any effect.

Thanks,

Rohit

Is there any way to ensure that the rules run when an account is updated from apex code.

Trigger oldMap

Hi,

I have an after update trigger on opportunity.
I wanted to know what fields are available on an object when I retrieve it from the Trigger.oldMap ?

What I observed is that all fields are not available on the object retrieved from the oldMap and wanted to understand the logic.

Thanks,

Attempt to de-reference a null object

Hi,

I have a PRM enabled org. I have an afterUpdate trigger on Opportunity. In the code, I am doing this -

Code:

//get the opp fields  
Set<Id> oppIds = new Set<Id>();
for (Opportunity opp : Trigger.new) {
  oppIds.add(opp.Id);
}

Map<Id, Opportunity> opportunityMap = new Map<Id, Opportunity>(
    [Select Id, partnerAccountId, isClosed, isWon, Partner_Amount__c, 
closeDate from Opportunity where Id In :oppIds]);

Now when I do this

Code:

for (Opportunity o : Trigger.new) {
  Opportunity opp = opportunityMap.get(o.Id);

  if (opp.partnerAccountId != null) {

It works fine when I do this within Salesforce, but we have a quoting tool - QuoteWerks, which also updates opportunities. This tool throws a Null pointer exception - Attempt to de-reference a null object on this line -

opp.partnerAccountId != null

Any ideas why this would happen.

Thanks,
Rohit

Schema.SObjectType.Opportunity.fields.getMap() Returns Empty Map

Hi,

I want to be able to get all the fields for the Opportunity. I am writing custom code for cloning an opportunity.
I had the following piece of code which was working but suddenly has stopped working.

Code:

        Map<String, Schema.SObjectField> m = Schema.SObjectType.Opportunity.fields.getMap();
        System.debug('isEmpty = ' + m.isEmpty());

This now returns an empty map.
Any ideas why this call would return an empty map.

Thanks,

Use Letterhead in send mail

Hi,

Is there a way to programatically use the letterhead in sendmail api.

I cannot use the template as the email contains references to multiple objects and have to create the email in my apex code.

I still need to retrieve the letterhead specified in an email template and use that programatically to send the mail.

thanks,

NEXT_N_DAYS Query

I have a query where I want to use the NEXT_N_DAYS in my query but the problem is that the number of days is a variable in my code.

When I try writing as

Code:

Integer mydays = 20;
Select Id from Opportunity where CloseDate = NEXT_N_DAYS:mydays

I get an error "Expecting a number, found mydays". I have tried the following variations but none of them work -

Code:

NEXT_N_DAYS::mydays 
NEXT_N_DAYS:mydays 
NEXT_N_DAYS: =:mydays

How do I do this?

Thanks,

request.comment = "Automated approval.";

This is giving an error -
