    copied!<p>I'm building a login page from where I would like to connect to my salesforce.com account. The idea is that if the username/password is wrong, I leave the user on my website and otherwise I redirect him to the salesforce panel.</p> <p>To check if the username password exists, I use the Salesforce PHP Toolkit. And when I see that the user has entered a legit account, I use cURL to post the username and password to the form that is supposedly handling the login.</p> <p>Here's some bits of the code:</p> <pre><code>$url = 'https://login.salesforce.com/'; $fields = array( 'username' =&gt; urlencode($username), 'pw' =&gt; urlencode($pw), 'un' =&gt; urlencode($username), 'width' =&gt; urlencode($width), 'height' =&gt; urlencode($height), 'hasRememberUn' =&gt; urlencode(true), 'startURL' =&gt; urlencode(''), 'loginURL' =&gt; urlencode(''), 'loginType' =&gt; urlencode(''), 'useSecure' =&gt; urlencode(true), 'local' =&gt; urlencode(''), 'lt' =&gt; urlencode('standard'), 'qs' =&gt; urlencode(''), 'locale' =&gt; urlencode('uk'), 'oauth_token' =&gt; urlencode(''), 'login' =&gt; urlencode(''), 'serverid' =&gt; urlencode(''), 'display' =&gt; urlencode('page') ); $fields_string =''; foreach($fields as $key=&gt;$value) { $fields_string .= $key.'='.$value.'&amp;'; } rtrim($fields_string,'&amp;'); $ch = curl_init(); /* Set the url, number of POST vars, POST data */ curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_AUTOREFERER, true); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH, CURLAUTH_ANY); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,$url); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION,true); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST,count($fields)); curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,$fields_string); $result = curl_exec($ch); curl_close($ch); </code></pre> <p>I inspected the source of the login page of salesforce.com to see what post values it needs which I put it in the code above.</p> <p>The problem is that whenever I input a valid account, it redirects me to the login page (so I am not logged in) of salesforce.com saying</p> <blockquote> <p>You have attempted to access a page that requires a salesforce.com login. If you are already a user of the system, please login below.</p> </blockquote> <p>Could anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong ?</p> <p>Cheers !</p>
