 Using the Apex Just-in-Time handler to query custom SAML attributes and set permission sets is the best way to ensure that the Active Directory groups are reflected correctly when a user accesses Salesforce. The Apex Just-in-Time handler is a custom class that can process the SAML response from the identity provider and assign permission sets based on the user’s AD groups. The other options are either not feasible or not effective for this use case. References: Just-in-Time Provisioning for SAML, Apex Just-in-Time Handler

These are the steps required to enable Salesforce as a SAML Identity Provider and use the App Launcher to access external applications. According to the Salesforce documentation1, you need to:

Enable Salesforce as a SAML Identity Provider with My Domain2.

Create aConnected App for each external application that you want to integrate with Salesforce3.

Add each Connected App to the App Launcher with a Start URL that points to the external application1.

Option B is incorrect because setting up an Auth Provider is not necessary for SAML SSO. Auth Providers are used for OAuth SSO, which isa different protocol4. Option D is incorrect because Identity Connect is a tool for synchronizing user data between Active Directory and Salesforce, which is not related to SSO or App Launcher5.

B is correct because the user has not configured the Salesforce1 mobile app to use My Domain for login, which is the likely cause of the issue. The My Domain URL is used to redirect theuser to the identity provider’s login page and initiate the SP-Initiated SAML flow. If the user does not configure the Salesforce1 mobile app to use My Domain for login, they will be prompted for Salesforce credentials instead of being shown the IDP loginpage. A is incorrect because the “Redirect to Identity Provider” option has been selected in the My Domain configuration, which is not the cause of the issue. The “Redirect to Identity Provider” option determines whether users are redirected to the identity provider’s login page automatically or after clicking a button. C is incorrect because the “Redirect to Identity Provider” option has not been selected in the SAML configuration, which is not the cause of the issue. The “Redirect to Identity Provider” option determines whether users are redirected to the identity provider’s login page automatically or after clicking a button. D is incorrect because the user has been granted the “Enable Single Sign-On” permission, which is not the cause of the issue. The “Enable Single Sign-On” permission allows users to use SSO with connected apps or external systems.

In an environment where Salesforce users are enabled to access Google Apps from within Salesforce through App Launcher and Connected App setup, Google is the service provider and Salesforce is the identity provider. A service provider is an application that provides a service to users and relies on an identity provider for authentication3. A connected app is a service provider that integrates an application with Salesforce using APIs4. An identity provider is an application that authenticates users and provides information about them to service providers3. The App Launcher is a feature that allows users to access Salesforce, connected, and on-premises apps from one location5. In this scenario, Google Apps are connected apps that provide services to Salesforce users, such as Gmail, Google Drive, and GoogleCalendar. Salesforce isthe identity provider that authenticates users and allows them to access Google Apps with their Salesforce credentials using single sign-on (SSO)6.

The OAuth 2.0Device Flow is a type of authorization flow that allows users to register an IoT device with limited display input or capabilities, such as a smart TV, a printer, or a smart speaker1. The device flow works as follows1:

The device displays or reads out a verification code and a verification URL to the user.

The user visits the verification URL on another device, such as a smartphone or a laptop, and enters the verification code.

The user logs in to Salesforce and approves the device.

The device polls Salesforce for an access token using the verification code.

Salesforce returns an access token to the device, which can then access Salesforce APIs.

To ensure that SSO is usedfor accessing the Salesforce1 mobile app, UC should configure the Salesforce1 app to use the My Domain URL instead of the default login.salesforce.com URL. My Domain is a feature that allows UC to create a custom domain name for their Salesforce org that supports SSO with their identity provider. UC should also use the existing SAML-SSO flow along with User Agent Flow, which is an OAuth 2.0 flow that allows users to authenticate with their identity provider through an embedded browser within the mobile app.Verified References: [Configure SSO with Salesforce as a SAML Service Provider], [User-Agent Flow]

Salesforce Identity Connect is a tool that synchronizes user data between Microsoft Active Directory and Salesforce. It allows automatic provisioning and deprovisioning of users in Salesforce based on the changes made in Active Directory. Therefore, Identity Connect plays the role of user management in the outlined requirements. References: Identity Connect Implementation Guide, Identity Connect Overview

  These are the systems that are acting as identity providers (IdPs) in the SSO scenario. An IdP is a trusted provider that enables a customer to use single sign-on (SSO) to access other websites5. In this case, Pingfederate and Salesforce Org 1 are the IdPs that authenticate the users and issue SAML assertions or OAuth tokensto the service providers (SPs). The SPs are the websites that hostapps and rely on the IdPs for authentication5. In this case, Salesforce Org 2, Financial System, and CPQ Systemare the SPs that receive the SAML assertions or OAuth tokens from the IdPs and grant access to the users.

Option A is incorrect because Financial System is not an IdP, but an SP. It does not authenticate the users, but receives SAML assertions from Pingfederate. Option C is incorrect because Salesforce Org 2 is not an IdP, but an SP. It does not authenticate the users, but receives OAuth tokens from Salesforce Org 1.

 Todynamically brand the portal so that users will be directed to the brand link they clicked on, the identity architect should recommend implementing Experience ID in the code and extending the URLs and endpoints, as required. Experience ID is a parameter that can be used to identify different brands or experiences within a single Experience Cloud site (formerly known as Community). Dynamic branding is a feature that allows Experience Cloud sites to display different branding elements, such as logos, colors,or images, based on the Experience ID or other criteria. By implementing Experience ID in the code, the identity architect can provide a consistent and personalized brand experience for each user without creating multiple sites or sandboxes.

 The identity provider must correctly preserve the Relay state in order to redirect the user to the specific case record after login with SAML SSO. According to the Salesforce documentation3, “The RelayState parameter is used by SAML to indicate where the user should be redirected after they’ve been authenticated by the identity provider.” Therefore, option C is the correct answer.
