Use a custom connected app handler using Apex to dynamically allow access to the system based on whether the staff owns any open “classified” cases is the recommended solution for this scenario. A custom connected app handler is an Apex class that implements the ConnectedAppPlugin interface and can customize the behavior of a connected app. The custom handler can support new protocols or respondto user attributes in a way that benefits a business process. In this case, the custom handler can query the user’s open “classified” cases and grant or deny access to the classified information system accordingly. Use Apex trigger on case to dynamically assign permission sets that grant access when a user is assigned with an open “classified” case, and remove it when the case is closed is not a good solution, as permission sets are not related to SSO and cannot control access to external systems. Use custom SAML JIT provisioning to dynamicallyquery the user’s open “classified” cases when attempting to access the classified information system is not feasible, as JIT provisioning is used to create or update user records in Salesforce, not in external systems. Use Salesforce reports to identify users that currently own open “classified” cases and should be granted access to the classified information system is not an automated solution, as it requires manual intervention and does not leverage SSO.

The three differentattributes that can be used to identify the user in a SAML assertion when Salesforce is acting as a Service Provider are Federation ID, User Email Address, and Salesforce Username. According to the Salesforce documentation, “Salesforce supports three attributes for identifying users in a SAML assertion: Federation ID, User Email Address, and Salesforce Username.” Therefore, option A, D, and E are the correct answers.

An authentication provider is a configuration that allows users to log in to Salesforce using an external identity provider,such as Facebook, Google, or a custom one. When creating an authentication provider, two options that can be utilized are:

A custom registration handler, which is a class that implements the Auth.RegistrationHandler interface and defines how to create or update users in Salesforce based on the information from the external identity provider.

A custom error URL, which is a URL that users are redirected to when an error occurs during the authentication process. References: Authentication Providers, Create an Authentication Provider

To optimize license usage and reduce maintenance overhead for customers who use Community to track orders and create inquiries and tend to move across regions frequently, the identity architect should recommend enabling Contactless User in all orgs and downgrade users from Experience Cloud license to External Identity license once users havemoved out of that region. Contactless User is a feature that allows users to access Experience Cloud sites without having a contact record associated with them. External Identity is a license type that enables users to access Experience Cloud sites usingsocial sign-on or single sign-on, but not access Salesforce objects or data. By enabling Contactless User and downgrading users from Experience Cloud license to External Identity license, the identity architect can reduce the number of contacts and licenses needed for each region and avoid data duplication and synchronization issues.

D is correct because using custom login flows with callouts to a third-party fingerprint scanning application allows UC to support fingerprints as a form of identification for Salesforce authentication. Custom login flows allow UC to implement custom logic and UI elements for authentication, such as calling an external web service that performs fingerprint scanning and verification. A is incorrect because using Salesforce two-factor authentication with callouts to a third-party fingerprint scanning application does not support fingerprints as a form of identification for Salesforce authentication. Salesforce two-factor authentication requires users to enter a verification code or use an app like Salesforce Authenticator, not a fingerprint. B is incorrect because using delegated authentication with callouts to a third-party fingerprint scanning application does not support fingerprints as a form of identification for Salesforce authentication. Delegated authentication requires users to enter their username and password, not a fingerprint. C is incorrect because using an AppExchange product that does fingerprint scanning with native Salesforce identity confirmation does not support fingerprints as a form of identification for Salesforce authentication. AppExchange products are third-party applications that integrate with Salesforce, not native Salesforce features.

 Using custom login flows to connect to the existing custom 2fa system for use in salesforce is the recommended solution because it allows you to leverage your existing 2fa infrastructure and provide a consistent user experience across your applications. Custom login flows let you customize the authentication process by adding extra screens or logic before or after the standard login1. You can use Apex code to call your custom 2fa system and verify the user’s identity2. This option also gives you moreflexibility and control over the2fa process than using native 2fa or an app exchange app3.

To use Salesforce Identity to control access to the custom time tracking app, the identity architect should use the Identity Only license. The Identity Only license is a license type that enables users to access external applications that are integrated with Salesforce using single sign-on (SSO) or delegated authentication, but notaccess Salesforce objects or data. The other license types are not relevant for this scenario. References: Identity Only License, User Licenses

Toenable SP-initiated SSO with Salesforce as the Service Provider, two steps are required in Salesforce:

Option A is correct because configuring SAML SSO settings involves specifying the identity provider details, such as theentity ID, login URL, logout URL, and certificate2. 

Option D is correct because setting up My Domain enables you to use a custom domain name for your Salesforce org and allows you to use SAML as an authentication method3.

Option B is incorrect because creating a connected app is not necessary for SP-initiated SSO using a SAML-compliant IdP. A connected app is used for OAuth-based authentication or OpenID Connect-based authentication4.

Option C is incorrect because configuring delegated authentication is not related to SP-initiated SSO using a SAML-compliant IdP. Delegated authentication is a feature that allows Salesforce todelegate user authentication to an external service, such as LDAP or Active Directory5.

 Identity Connect is a Salesforce product that integrates Microsoft Active Directory with Salesforce user records. It allows provisioning, deprovisioning, and authentication of users based on AD data.The other options are either incorrect or irrelevant for this use case.

Configuring an Authentication Provider for LinkedIn Social Media Accounts allows UC to use LinkedIn as an external identity provider for its customer community. This means that customers can use their LinkedIn credentials to log in to the community without storing their credentials in Salesforce. Creating a Custom Apex Registration Handler allows UC to customize how new and existing users are handled when they log in with an external identity provider. This means that UC can control howuser records are created, updated, or matched when customers use their social media credentials to authenticate to the community. These two actions can meetthe requirement of UC to use social media credentials for its customer community.
