Salesforce REST API Login?

Question

I am examining a sample which is in the salesforce developer site.

In that sample when we click a link it will be redirected to the salesforce login page. If the login successful, then an access token is issued.

I dont want my application to redirect to the salesforce login page. In the existing sample the environment variable is set to,

"https://login.salesforce.com"

What should I do to avoid redirecting to salesforce login page.

Answer 1

It seems that you need to implement OAuth 2.0 username-password flow in order to avoid redirection.
