title: Salesforce post data from remote server
body: <p>I am a newbie to Salesforce, currently developing an application which will be used by our clients. One feature of the application is, it should receive data from our remote server for each client and update/insert a record in Salesforce for that client. I am not sure how to go about doing this.  </p>
  
  <p>I looked into Salesforce REST API (<a href="http://www.salesforce.com/us/developer/docs/api_rest/api_rest.pdf" rel="nofollow">http://www.salesforce.com/us/developer/docs/api_rest/api_rest.pdf</a>) to POST data into Salesforce, but that required to provide client id, customer key and user id/password of Salesforce, which I think we will not able to get from our clients (?). Can anyone tell me how to go about achieving  this?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance.</p>
