Pass the Salesforce Identity and Access Management Designer Identity-and-Access-Management-Architect Questions and answers with CertsForce

 The users do not have the correct permission set assigned to them is the most likely cause of the issue. A connected app is a framework that enables an externalapplication to integrate with Salesforce using APIs and standard protocols, such as SAML, OAuth, and OpenID Connect1. Connected apps use these protocols to authorize, authenticate, and provide single sign-on (SSO) for external apps1. To access a connected app, users must have the appropriate permissions assignedto them, either through their profile or a permission set2. If the users do not have the required permissions, they will receive an error message when they try to access the connected app. The use of high assurance sessions are required for the connected app is not a validoption, as high assurance sessions are related to multi-factor authentication (MFA), not connected apps3. The connected app setting “All users may self-authorize” is enabled is not a cause of the issue, but a possible solution. This setting allows users to access the connected app without pre-approval from an administrator4. The Salesforce administrators have revoked the OAuth authorizationis not a likely cause of the issue, as OAuth authorization is granted by the users, not the administrators5. Revoking OAuth authorization would also affect all users, not just a group of them.

High assurance sessions are sessions that require a stronger level of identity verification, such astwo-factor authentication or SAML assertions1. Google Authenticator is an app that generates verification codes on your mobile device that you canuse as a second factor of authentication2. These measures can help prevent unauthorized access to the connected app by ensuring that the useris who they claim to be and that they have access to their mobile device. Disallowing the use of single sign-on (SSO) for the mobile app is not a recommendation because SSO can provide a seamless and secure user experience across multiple applications3. Setting login IP ranges totheinternal network for the app users profiles is not a recommendation because it can limit the mobility and flexibility of the users who are commonly out of the office.

Activating My Domain allows each org to have a unique domain name that can be branded to the specific business use case2. This can help users identify which org they are logging into and avoid confusion. Implementing SP-Initiated Single Sign-on flows enables users to start from a service provider (such as Salesforce) and be redirected to an identity provider (such as Active Directory) for authentication3. This can also allow deep linking, which means users can access specific resources withinthe service provider after logging in4. These two recommendations can address the complaints of the users who have licenses across multiple orgs.

The AMR field in the Login History shows the authentication methods usedat the IdP level, such as password, MFA, or SSO. Both OIDC and SAML are supported protocols for SSO, but the IdP must implement the AMRattribute and pass it to Salesforce.

 Active Directory Password Sync Plugin allows usersto log in to Salesforce with their Active Directory password without using a VPN. Salesforce Identity Connect synchronizes users and groups between Active Directory and Salesforce and enables single sign-on.

Security Assertion MarkupLanguage (SAML) Validator is a tool that allows administrators to test and troubleshoot SAML single sign-on configurations. It can show which part of the login assertion is failing and provide error messages and suggestions. SAML Metadata file importer andIdentity Provider Metadata download are features that allow administrators to import or download metadata files for SAMLconfigurations. Connected App Manager is a tool that allows administrators to manage connected apps in Salesforce. References: SAML Validator, SAML Single Sign-On Settings, Connected App Manager

To help employees remember fewer passwords, an identity architect should recommend setting up Salesforce as a service provider (SP) to the existing IdP. A SP is the system that relies on the IdP for authentication and provides access to its services based on the SAML assertions from the IdP. Toset up Salesforce as a SP, you need to create a connected app for Salesforce in the IdP, enable SAML and configure the SAML settings, such as the entity ID, ACS URL, and subject type. You also need to enable SSO for your Salesforce org, upload the IdP certificate, and configure the SSO settings, such as the issuer, identity type, and service provider initiated request binding.

Delegated Authentication will continue to work with a .NET service as long as it is wrapped in a web service that Salesforce canconsume1. Delegated Authentication will not work with REST services because it requires a SOAP-based web service23. Therefore, option C and D are the correct answers.

The optimal Salesforce license type for all of the UC employees who will access the custom Innovation platform without logging in with Salesforce credentials is the Salesforce Platform license. The Salesforce Platform license allows users to access custom applications built on the Lightning Platform, such as Apex and Visualforce, and use standard objects such as accounts, contacts, reports, dashboards, and custom tabs. It also supports SSO with a third-party identity provider using SAML. Option A is not a good choice because the Identity license is designed for users who need to access Salesforce Identity features, such as identity provider, social sign-on, and user provisioning, but not for users who need to access custom applications. Option B is not a good choice because the Salesforce license is designed for users who need full access to standard CRM and Lightning Platform features, such as leads, opportunities, campaigns, forecasts, and contracts, but it may be unnecessary or expensive for users who only need to access custom applications. Option C is not a good choice because the External Identity license is designed for users who are external to the organization, such as customers or partners, but not for users who are internal employees.

AD groups can control public group assignment, role assignment, and permission set assignment through Identity Connect. Identity Connect is a tool that integrates Microsoft Active Directory (AD) user accounts with Salesforce user records1. It allows Salesforce admins to leverage the existing user data and group memberships in AD to automate user provisioning and deprovisioning in Salesforce. Identity Connect can map AD groups to Salesforce publicgroups, roles, and permission sets, and assign them to users based on their group membership2. This way, AD groups can control the access level and visibility of users in Salesforce. AD groups cannot control granting report folder access or custom permission assignment through Identity Connect. These are not supported features of Identity Connect. Report folder access is controlled by the folder sharing settings in Salesforce. Custom permission assignment is controlled by the custom permission settings in Salesforce.
