Glance for Salesforce Credentials

Technical reference for generating and authenticating with Glance for Salesforce (G4S) credentials using the ProvisioningService API.

Some methods, with G4S in their names, are intended for use by Glance for Salesforce. These endpoints require the following data items for authentication:

  • groupId: The Group ID, just like the partnerId mentioned earlier in this document.
  • adminName: The Glance Address or user name, like example.glance.net, of the user.
  • adminCredentials: The Glance for Salesforce credentials generated for the user.

The Glance for Salesforce credentials is a 32-character string containing a hexadecimal number.

To get a credentials string for a particular username via a Glance API, use the /services/ProvisioningService.asmx?op=ValidateUser method, and specify the username and password of the user.

The G4SF credential appears in the <credentials /> stanza of the result. Notice that the ValidateUser method generates a new credentials string for the user on each invocation.
