API Login using Customer Portal Username

Hi,

 

I want to ask how to login to api using customer portal username & password? I have my customer portal' api enabled = true. If I'm using Partner user, I can login to api using partner user username & password. The login error if I'm using customer portal username is some thing like 'Invalid Login....." 

Am I missing something? Any suggestions would be great..

Thanks..

You need to use a LoginScopeHeader with the orgainzationId set to your organization ID and the portalId set to the portal's ID.

Hi,

 

Exactly how do I add the loginscopeheader? As my case, I want to login to apex explorer or apex data loader using customer portal login? Where should I add the loginscopeheader in apex explorer or apex data loader? More helps would be great.. 

Thanks...

LoginScopeHeader is a "header" used by the API to login as a portal user. It is part of the API exposed by the Force.com platform, but as far as I know, neither the Apex Data Loader nor the Apex Explorer support this feature.
