Pearson Identity-and-Access-Management-Architect New Attempt

To register and authenticate new customers on the website using Salesforce Identity, the identity architect should use Delegated Authentication and Embedded Login. Delegated Authentication is a feature that allows Salesforce to delegate the authentication process to an external service, such as a custom website, instead of validating the username and password internally. Embedded Login is a feature that allows Salesforce to embed a login widget into any web page, such as a custom website, to enable users to log in with their Salesforce credentials. The other options are not relevant for this scenario. References: Delegated Authentication, Embedded Login

To have users provisioned via a service endpoint before users access their app from Salesforce, the identity architect should recommend using a connected app with user provisioning flow. A connected app is a framework that enables an external application to integrate with Salesforce using APIs and standard protocols. A user provisioning flow is a custom post-authentication process that can be used to create or update users in the external application using a service endpoint when users access the connected app from Salesforce. This approach can provide automatic user provisioning with limited changes to the third-party app. References: Connected Apps, User Provisioning for Connected Apps

According to the Salesforce documentation1, OpenID Connect Token Introspection allows all OAuth connected apps to check the current state of an OAuth 2.0 access or refresh token. The resource server or connected apps send the client app’s client ID and secret to the authorization server, initiating an OAuth authorization flow. As part of this flow, the authorization server validates, or introspects, the client app’s access token. If the access token is current and valid, the client app is granted access.

Just-in-Time (JIT) provisioning is a feature that allows Salesforce to create or update user records on the fly when users log in through an external identity provider. This eliminates the need for manual or batch user provisioning in Salesforce. References: Just-in-Time Provisioning for SAML and OpenID Connect, Identity 101: Design Patterns for Access Management
