Salesforce Asked by highfive on December 2, 2021
Having a community site and planning to build mobile apps. Is it possible to have the guest user authentication from a mobile client? Below are the concern.
Community user registration need to be done via custom REST Services
which uses Site.createPortalUser()
, but Site
context is not
there when you connect the REST service with normal user
authentication. (Site.Login()
etc. also wont work I think)
Is there a same authentication mechanism like in browser for REST,
where public pages are accessible with guest user profile and
whenever the actual user login in session will be transferred to
that user.
There is an option on the Guest User Profile as API Enabled. Not sure if this will be helpful here. In Developer Edition this feature is not there to give it a try.
UPDATE :
for portal user creation and all I need to use my own apex classes REST end points. So to access them it needs authorized access from mobile client AFAIK. But if I use normal user to authorize, Site
context is not in scope.
For accessing REST services in a guest context you don't need to authenticate. You can just call on the endpoints and your response will be returned.
For accessing authenticated webservices you can do one of the following:
Use REST authentication flows. Read more about that here: Understanding REST auhentication
Use the SOAP login method to get your sessionID. This can then be used in your REST services. Read more here: SOAP Login
