How to get current logged in user session id in javascript and how I can validate it?

Hi,

Here is my situation, in my js web resource I need to call external web services hosted somewhere else to read/write data to external system. I want to have some kind of user authentication on these web services side so these web methods only serve valid CRM user client not everyone. My question is if there is a way to pass something like a CRM user session id to these external web services then these external web services can use CRM sdk to validate the session id(or so called token).

Thanks in advance,

Lan

    Hi Maniraj.K.V,

    Thanks for your suggestion. But I think validating client via passing user id is very easy to hack and not secure enough. Does CRM provide something like getting current logged in user session id or token which has a time expired mechanism ? Also this session id can be validated via CRM SDK on server side. Is it possible? Any other ideas or solution?

    Thanks,

    Lan

    Hi,

    You can get the current user id and pass the user id to external system, verify the user belongs to crm or not.

    Hope this link may show some light for ur requirement.
