The HTTP parameter that should be used when submitting a SAML request to the IdP to ensure the user is returned to the intended resource after authentication is RelayState. RelayState is an optional parameter that can be used to preserve some state information across the SSO process. For example, RelayState can be used to specify the URL of the resource that the user originally requested on the SP before being redirected to the IdP for authentication. After the IdP validates the user’s identity and sends back a SAML response, it also sends back the RelayState parameter with the same value as it received from the SP. The SP then uses the RelayState value to redirect the user to the intended resource after validating the SAML response. The other options are not valid HTTP parameters for this purpose. RedirectURL, DisplayState, and StartURL are not standard SAML parameters and they are not supported by Salesforce as SP or IdP. References: [SAML SSO Flows], [RelayState Parameter]

OAuth 2.0 SAML Bearer Assertion Flow is a protocol that allows a client app to obtain an access token from Salesforce by using a SAML assertion instead of an authorization code. The SAML assertion contains information about the client app and the user who wants to access Salesforce APIs. To use this flow, the client app needs to have a connected app configured in Salesforce with the Use Digital Signature option enabled and the “api” OAuth scope assigned. The administrators can authorize the applications that will be consuming the APIs by setting the Permitted Users policy of the connected app to Admin approved users are pre-authorized and assigning profiles or permission sets to the connected app. References: OAuth 2.0 SAML Bearer Assertion Flow, Connected Apps, OAuth Scopes

The two OAuth flows that support refresh tokens are Web server and User-Agent. According to the Salesforce documentation2, “The web server authentication flow and user-agent flow both provide a refresh token that can be used to get a new access token.” Therefore, option A and C are the correct answers.

To ensure end users can only use single sign-on (SSO) to log in to Salesforce, two things should be done:

• Enable My Domain and select “Prevent login from https://login.salesforce.com”. My Domain is a feature that allows administrators to customize the Salesforce login URL with a unique domain name. By preventing login from the standard login URL, administrators can enforce SSO and restrict users from logging in with their Salesforce credentials.
• Assign user “is Single Sign-on Enabled” permission via profile or permission set. This permission allows users to log in to Salesforce using SSO. Users who do not have this permission will not be able to access Salesforce even if they have valid Salesforce credentials. References: My Domain, User Permissions for Single Sign-On

The two statements that are capabilities of Identity Connect are:

• It supports both identity-provider-initiated and service-provider-initiated SSO. Identity Connect is a desktop application that integrates Salesforce with Microsoft Active Directory (AD) and enables single sign-on (SSO) between the two systems. Identity Connect supports both identity-provider-initiated SSO, which is when the user starts at the AD site and then is redirected to Salesforce with a SAML assertion, and service-provider-initiated SSO, which is when the user starts at the Salesforce site and then is redirected to AD for authentication.
• It enables automated user synchronization and deactivation. Identity Connect allows administrators to synchronize user accounts and attributes between AD and Salesforce, either manually or on a scheduled basis. Identity Connect also allows administrators to deactivate user accounts in Salesforce when they are disabled or deleted in AD, which helps maintain security and compliance.

The other options are not capabilities of Identity Connect. Identity Connect does not support synchronization of Salesforce permission set license assignments, as these are not related to AD attributes. Identity Connect does not support multiple orgs connecting to multiple AD servers, as it can only connect one Salesforce org to one AD domain at a time.

If the third-party authentication provider supports only the OAuth protocol and not OpenID Connect, then an identity architect needs to create a custom external authentication provider for it. A custom external authentication provider is a configuration that allows users to log in to Salesforce using an external identity provider that is not predefined by Salesforce. It requires implementing the Auth.AuthProviderPlugin interface and defining the OAuth endpoints and parameters.

To track information about devices from which users log in and revoke the device access, the identity architect should use the Activations feature. Activations are records that store information about the devices and browsers that users use to access Salesforce. Administrators can view, manage, and revoke activations for users from the Setup menu. Activations can help monitor and control user access from different devices. References: Activations, Manage Activations for Your Users

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 respond to 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 dynamically query 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.

IDP-initiated SSO flow is when the user starts at the identity provider (IDP) site and then is redirected to the service provider (SP) site with a SAML assertion. This flow is suitable for UC’s scenario because they want to use their existing portal as the primary site and also enable seamless access to the partner community. The IDP-initiated flow does not require the user to log in again at the SP site, which is Salesforce in this case.

The best option for UC to ensure that changes in the Facebook profile are reflected on the appropriate customer community user is to use the updateUser method on the registration handler class. A registration handler class is an Apex class that implements the Auth.RegistrationHandler interface and defines the logic for creating or updating a user account when a user logs in with an external authentication provider, such as Facebook. The updateUser method is a method in the registration handler class that takes a user ID and a JSON string as parameters and updates the user record with the information from the JSON string. This method can be used to update the user’s profile, email, name, or other attributes based on the changes in the Facebook profile. The other options are not optimal for this scenario. Developing a scheduled job that calls out to Facebook on a nightly basis would introduce a delay in updating the user information and require custom code and API integration. Using information in the signed request that is received from Facebook would only provide limited information about the user, such as name, email, and locale, and not reflect any changes made after the initial login. Using SAML Just-in-Time provisioning between Facebook and Salesforce would require UC to configure Facebook as a SAML identity provider, which is not supported by Facebook.
