Jeff, when I visit the link to run the demo on your developer site, I always get an error message indicating a failure to connect to SF. Any ideas why that might be?

Exact message is could not login into salesforce “security error accessing url”. It’s working in flex but not in salesforce.The above mentioned problem is occured.

And also it’s not working IE7,IE8 and firefox also.

Did you append your session token to the end of your password?

HI Jeff,
From your previous example i tried not giving hardcoded userid and password and only use server url and session id but i am not able to log in when i try it in my org. Can you help what wrong i must be doing

Here is the code

private function init():void
{
var lr:LoginRequest = new LoginRequest();

lr.server_url = this.parameters.server_url;
lr.session_id = this.parameters.session_id;

lr.callback = new AsyncResponder(loginHandler,faultHandler);
force.login(lr);
}

Thanks, Jeff. You were right – it wasn’t working in IE7, but it worked both in IE8 and Firefox.

Why would this be? Does it have to do with how the swf is being processed in the different browsers, i.e. different sandboxes?

I bet you are using Internet Explorer? Try using Firefox or Chrome.

I think that sounds like a perfect use case. We did almost exactly the same thing for another project. Good luck!!

Thanks for the post, this actually has given me an idea. We want to use Salesforce to accept webservice calls from third party vendors but don’t want to give them the api username/pas/token. I think using sites we can create the login function like you have here and then perform what we need to.

Thoughts on that?
