Free Practice Questions for Salesforce Identity-and-Access-Management-Architect Exam

The optimal way to implement SSO with Active Directory as the enterprise identity store is to use Salesforce Identity Connect as the identity provider. Salesforce Identity Connect is a software that integrates Microsoft Active Directory with Salesforce and enables single sign-on (SSO) using SAML. It also allows user data synchronization between Active Directory and Salesforce and profile and permission set assignment based on Active Directory group membership. Option A is not a good choice because using Active Directory with reverse proxy as the identity provider may not be supported by Salesforce or may require additional configuration and customization. Option B is not a good choice because using Microsoft Access Control Service as the authentication provider may not be available, as Microsoft has retired this service in 2018. Option C is not a good choice because using Active Directory Federation Service (ADFS) as the identity provider may not allow user data synchronization or profile andpermission set assignment based on Active Directory group membership, unless it is combined with another tool such as Salesforce Identity Connect.

Custom SAML JIT Provisioning allows Salesforce to dynamically create or update user records in the classified information system based on the SAML assertion sent by Salesforce as the IdP. This way, the staff can access the system only when they have an open “Classified” case, and their access is revoked when they don’t. Option A is incorrect because Salesforce reports are not a reliable way to grant or revoke access to the system, as they are not updated in real time and may not reflect the current status of the cases. Option B is incorrect because Apex triggers can only assign or remove permission sets within Salesforce, not in an external system. Option D is incorrect becausea Common Connected App Handler using Apex is used to customize the behavior of a connected app, not to control access to an external system based on user attributes.

To use SAML SSO for accessing the Salesforce1 mobile app, the architect should recommend configuring the embedded web browser to use the My Domain URL and configuring the Salesforce1 app to use the My Domain URL4. Using the My Domain URL allows Salesforce to identify the identityprovider and initiate the SSO process5. Using the existing SAML SSO flow along with user agent flow or web server flow is not necessary because SalesforceMobile Applications only work with service provider initiated setups46. Therefore, option B and D are the correct answers.

 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.

Enabling Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) in Salesforce can mitigate the security risks of users accessing Salesforce froma public Wi-Fi access point or choosing passwords that are the same as their Facebook password. 2FA is an additional layer of protection beyond your password that requires users to verify their identity with another factor, such as a mobile app, a securitykey, or a verification code. This can prevent unauthorized access even if the user’s password is compromised or guessed by a malicious actor. The other options are not directly related to 2FA, but rather to user behavior or password policies.

User Provisioning for Connected Apps allows Salesforce to create, update, and deactivate users in an external service such as Google Workspace based on user and permission set assignments in Salesforce. References: User Provisioning for Connected Apps

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.

Delegated Authentication is an authentication mechanism that allows Salesforce to delegate the authentication process to an external system via a SOAP webservice. The external system can manage the user administration, passwords, and authentication requests.The other options are either not suitable or not supported for this use case. References: Delegated Authentication, FAQs for Delegated Authentication

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.

Just-in-time provisioning is a feature thatallows Salesforce to create user accounts automatically when users log in for the first time via an external identity provider. This way, UC can avoid creating user records manually or synchronizing them with another system. On-the-fly provisioning is nota valid term in Salesforce. Salesforce APIs can be used to create users programmatically, but they are not related to SSO. Identity Connect is a tool that can sync users between Salesforce and Active Directory, but it is not required for SSO.
