Universal containers (UC) have a custom, internal-only, mobile billing application for users who are commonly out of the office. The app is configured as a connected App in salesforce. Due to the nature of this app, UC would like to take the appropriate measures to properly secure access to the app. Which two are recommendations to make the UC? Choose 2 answers
Correct Answer:
BC
High assurance sessions are sessions that require a stronger level of identity verification, such as two-factor authentication or SAML assertions1. Google Authenticator is an app that generates verification codes on your mobile device that you can use as a second factor of authentication2. These measures can help prevent unauthorized access to the connected app by ensuring that the user is 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 to the internal 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. References: 1: Session Security Levels 2: Google Authenticator 3: Connected Apps : [Restri Access by IP Address]
Universal Containers (UC) has a classified information system that its call center team uses only when they are working on a case with a record type "Classified". They are only allowed to access the system when they own an open "Classified" case, and their access to the system is removed at all other times. They would like to implement SAML SSO with Salesforce as the Idp, and automatically allow or deny the staff's access to the classified information system based on whether they currently own an open "Classified" case record when they try to access the system using SSO. What is the recommended solution for automatically allowing or denying access to the classified information system based on the open "classified" case record criteria?
Correct Answer:
C
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 because a 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.

The executive sponsor for an organization has asked if Salesforce supports the ability to embed a login widget into its service providers in order to create a more seamless user experience.
What should be used and considered before recommending it as a solution on the Salesforce Platform?
Correct Answer:
D
Embedded Login is a feature that allows Salesforce to embed a login widget into any web page, such as a service provider’s site, to enable users to log in with their Salesforce credentials. However, Embedded Login relies on third-party cookies, which can cause browser compatibility issues and require users to adjust their browser settings. Therefore, this should be considered before recommending it as a solution on the Salesforce Platform. References: Embedded Login, Embedded Login Implementation Guide
Northern Trail Outfitters (NTO) is planning to roll out a partner portal for its distributors using Experience Cloud. NTO would like to use an external identity provider (idP) and for partners to register for access to the portal. Each partner should be allowed to register only once to avoid duplicate accounts with Salesforce.
What should a identity architect recommend to create partners?
Correct Answer:
B
To create partners using an external identity provider (IdP) and avoid duplicate accounts with Salesforce, the identity architect should recommend creating a custom page in Experience Cloud to self register partner with Experience Cloud and Ping identity store. Ping is an IdP that supports OpenID Connect protocol, which allows users to sign in with an external identity provider and access Salesforce resources. By creating a custom page in Experience Cloud, the identity architect can use a custom registration handler to link the partner’s Ping identity with their Salesforce identity and prevent duplicate accounts. The custom page can also provide a seamless user experience for the partners.

Universal Containers (UC) has a mobile application for its employees that uses data from Salesforce as well as uses Salesforce for Authentication purposes. UC wants its mobile users to only enter their credentials the first time they run the app. The application has been live for a little over 6 months, and all of the users who were part of the initial launch are complaining that they have to re-authenticate. UC has also recently changed the URI Scheme associated with the mobile app. What should the Architect at UC first investigate?Universal Containers (UC) has a mobile application for its employees that uses data from Salesforce as well as uses Salesforce for Authentication purposes.

UC has also recently changed the URI Scheme associated with the mobile app. What should the Architect at UC first investigate?
Correct Answer:
A
The first thing that the architect at UC should investigate is the refresh token policy defined in the Salesforce connected app. A refresh token is a credential that allows an application to obtain new access tokens without requiring the user to re-authenticate. The refresh token policy determines how long a refresh token is valid and under what conditions it can be revoked. If the refresh token policy is set to expire after a certain period of time or after a change in IP address or device ID, then the users may have to re-authenticate after using the app for a while or from a different location or device. Option B is not a good choice because validating that the users are checking the box to remember their passwords may not be relevant, as the app uses SSO with a third-party identity provider and does not rely on Salesforce credentials. Option C is not a good choice because verifying that the callback URL is correctly pointing to the new URI scheme may not be necessary, as the callback URL is used for redirecting the user back to the app after authentication, but it does not affect how long the user can stay authenticated. Option D is not a good choice because confirming that the access token’s time-to-live policy has been set appropriately may not be effective, as the access token’s time-to-live policy determines how long an access token is valid before it needs to be refreshed by a refresh token, but it does not affect how long a refresh token is valid or when it can be revoked.
