Call apex from forms without login

AgekayNov 22 2018

I have a forms application and want to start apex-session without the need to login (again). The user already has been authenticated by forms.

* We don't have SSO in place yet

Does anyone know a (secure) nice solution?

I was thinking about this:

   1. storing username/token in a database table (when you press button to open Apex in forms). Token only valid for certain time.

   2. Create custom authentication on Apex-application which checks the token in the table (and of course it's  still valid) (using timestamp)

           IF token/user is valid , return true (authenticated) else goto login screen.

           USer cannot login-screen, because this apex application should only be accessed from forms.

Is this solution okay or does anyone else have a better idea?

Feel welcome/
