@CF_Pro -

Sorry for the delay. Since this is an API question, I answered it on the API forum here:

This is what I got

DomainLinkOrMIURL: MIurl

TabName: Contacts Portal

TabLinkName: ???

isPortal: True

PortalName: DoorSaver_Customer_Portal

Not sure what to put for the TabLinkName, tried many different things, all generate errors.

What is the API method to generate a dynamic Short URL action?

There is a way....but it isn't as clean as you'd like.

1. Use the Create Short URL action to create a http://miurl.cc link for their portal. You can either do this using Method actions (and store this URL with your own credentials in your current web site database), or dynamically using the Method API (you need to call our web services using code).

2. Append to the end of the portal link the contact's email address.

So, if the URL you generate is http://miurl.cc/abc123 then append ?e=email@email.com, to get a final URL of http://miurl.cc/abc123?e=email@email.com

Redirect to that URL and you'll get single sign on.

Sorry.....not that clean....but not as bad as it looks.

I would like to know if it is possible to use the iframe for the web portal on my own site and make it so the user signs into our site, then if possible allow us to pass authentication via iframe URL. I want to avoid having my users login twice.

TIA
