RossK Secure Access of Visualforce Pages from a third party Website
Hi,
I need a little assistance on the following situation
1) We have a business partner who has a secure portal (not salesforce) accessed by their customers.
2) We want the business partner's portal user to be able to access a secure Visualforce page that displays fields from a custom object.
I think the approach to this is as follows:
Business Partner's Portal would contain a button that looks like this businesspartnerdomain/privatepage?customernumber=xyz&mode=edit&object=contact
The "privatepage" referred to above handles authentication and forwards the user to the secure Visualforce page with the customer information displayed. The customer should never know that they left the business partners website.
We are planning to use Communities liscenses where we pay for each login.
I have read the following documents.
1) Using oauth with VF: https://developer.salesforce.com/blogs/developer-relations/2011/09/using-oauth-2-0-with-visualforce-in-winter-12.html
2) oauth SF Documentation/Setuphttps://developer.salesforce.com/page/Digging_Deeper_into_OAuth_2.0_on_Force.com
3) Code: Sample/Package https://www.npmjs.com/package/salesforce-oauth2
What is the preferred approach to doing this?
Is it using OAuth2.0, an API Key, rather than username/pwd/token? Is this do-able? What would the reccommended o-auth flow be (Web-Server)? It is critical is that I do not want to have any login or confirmation window pop-up when the user views our secure vf page.
Thank you so much for your help!

Maybe someone has a better idea, but that's my .02 worth.
