is there a way to run code (like S-CONTROL or APEX), or maybe popup a browser window (with my code) when the user logs in to Salesforce?
I am trying to capture the IP of the user for future validation, thank you.
No.
But, the platform autmatically logs all login activity. You can find this under:
Setup>Manage Users> Login History
Update:
As pointed out by Gavin Watkinson, you can also access this through the API, or directly from Apex using SOQL.:
SELECT ApiType,ApiVersion,Application,Browser,ClientVersion,Id,LoginTime,LoginType,LoginUrl,Platform,SourceIp,Status,UserId
FROM LoginHistory

I have my own Users page in my application where user Admin can create a new user.
I do not want to let the user sign up by himself, but have the admin of the system add this user.
What do you think the flow for that should be ?
I thought about:
create a new user with username and temp password in the users page.
The user gets an email and presses a link to confirm the email.
The user goes to the login screen of my application and inserts the username and temp password.
the login page changes to Change password so the user will insert the password and confirm the password for him.
when pressing login the user logins to the system.
I cannot find a best practice for adding a new user from a built-in users page in the app.
Do you think my flow is reasonable?
Do you have any code that I can use for that?
This is pretty close to the flow which Cognito has for admin-created users by default when using the Amplify UI Authenticator component. The only difference is that the temporary password is sent to the user via email, so the admin never needs to see it.
To achieve this, you need to use the AdminCreateUser action. The way you do this will vary depending on the library you're using to communicate with Cognito. If it's Python, you can use boto3. If it's JS, you can use the AWS JS SDK. (Sample code in this GitHub comment.)
It's not required to use Amplify UI, you could write all the pages yourself. But it works well with very little effort and looks quite professional. So it should be the first thing you try. Here's another answer providing sample code for React.
I authorized the group of a user to the cockpit-application. I gave the group full access to the Process Definition and Process Instance authorizations. (so pretty much as described in the documentation)
When I try to log the user in, I see the Welcome screen and in the application overview the option to navigate to the cockpit-application.
However, when I click this, I get the Login screen again.
For a fraction of a second I see the cockpit application, but then it immidiatly redirects to the login page. When I try to log in again, it keeps redirecting me to this login screen.
I configured another group to use the Tasklist application and that is working as expected.
I tried to give the authorization on user-level instead of group-level but the same problems occurs.
(n.b.: I am using the Spring-Camunda-Starter for this application.)
I found the problem, I accidentally removed one of the authorizations the system automatically creates when the user is created. I think I might have removed this, as I thought it was not necessary.
It is in the User Authorizations, every user has an authorization from it's own user to that user. When I added this, it fixed the problem.
I found the solution when another user logged in and had no problems. And the found this to be the only difference between the two accounts.
Hopefully this will help someone in the future!
I am working on web application in MVC4-asp.net.For login I am using Simple membership Provider method to login.All is working properly but according to project requirement there will be no same user can not login at the same time on different machine.how to make changes in MVC simple membership.if any user is logged in and any one try to login at the same time using same username then it will be display message like "This user is already Logged In" and user will be not able to log in at that time.
Please give some suggestion on that.
Thanks in advance.
You Can do it by many ways, simple approach is
Set one flag at the time of login into database.
Check flag every time when you are sign in.
Remove flag at time of logout.
There are some issues in using this approach like what if user is close browser without logged out, for that you can set session time out.Hope this will help.
I'm trying to make a check for a specific user logging into Instagram and approving an app I've created. Is this possible?
Example flow :
User comes to my app
User clicks login/authenticate via Instagram
User logs in (or check is made if user is logged in via Instagram)
User is redirected to my app's callback URI.
When the user gets back to my app I would like to be able to check which user has authenticated - is this possible? At present I'm only able to get an access token.
Thanks for any help.
I've actually solved this by using the server-side flow mentioned in the API documentation (http://instagram.com/developer/authentication/) which gives me back a response including the details of the user logged in if following the extra step (code->access_code application, etc).
I also figured out what you mention above too, so both ways are good.
Thanks for you help.
The information is not directly returned to you in the OAuth process, but once you have the access token you can load user information using the https://api.instagram.com/v1/users/self/?access_token=XXXX endpoint. That will give you data about the currently logged in user (including ID and username)
I need a way to identify users. I have a Google site that is users access via their gmail accounts. My site is designed to allow users to view any data, but edit only their own data. This works fine for me as I'm the owner of the site and publisher of the scripts, but Session.getActiveUser().getUserLoginId() returns null for anyone else.
Please provide me the solution about this problem. Any link / any piece of code?
I suppose, that the script is deployed with the Execute the app as: combobox set to me. Please check it and change the combobox value to User accessing the web app.
