QUESTION
I am calling the salesforce using REST API provided by maven dependency.
...ANSWER
Answered 2017-Oct-24 at 17:41Actually Salesforce
internally provides the client the authentication token
when a request is made. For REST
API Salesforce
uses OAuth 2.0 for authentication. There exists different kinds of OAuth
authentication process. One of them is through User credentials. When you are sending the request using the user credentials you are actually asking Salesforce
to provide you the access token. After getting the request Salesforce
verifies the credentials and sends the access token back. But here no refresh tokens can be used because the user does not directly authorize the app.

QUESTION
How do I code my GreaseMonkey userscript to take me to an authorization/login window while on a different website (www.sharelatex.com)? My understanding was that GM_xmlhttpRequest would perform this function, and while I get an "OK" status after GM_xmlhttpRequest has successfully loaded, no login window presents itself. Should I be using a different function? This login must be done programmatically so that the userscript can "catch" the token number that gets attached to the redirect URL following successful login. This token number will then be used in a Mendeley API call to download the desired file from my Mendeley account (using implicit grant flow).
Background info: I am trying to build a GreaseMonkey userscript that will add a button to my www.sharelatex.com account that, when pushed, will automatically download a file from my account on www.mendeley.com using that site's API. The code associated with the button should also take of login and authentication requirements needed to use the API. I've registered my application with Mendeley, received a "client ID" number (0000, for purposes of illustration) which I have used to construct the following url:

Answered 2017-Oct-07 at 21:01While the topic of OAuth2 process involves multiple steps, this question was focused on one step: how to get the authorization / log-in window to present itself through a GreaseMonkey userscript. The answer (see comment by Brock Adams above) is given by an example provided in meta.stackexchange.com/a/293498/148310. More specifically, the log-in window is produced by the window.open function, as illustrated in the following example (see Line #21 below):
