Question #: 71
Topic #: 2
A division of a Northern Trail Outfitters (NTO) purchased Salesforce. NTO uses a third party identity provider (IdP) to validate user credentials against Its corporate Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) directory. NTO wants to help employees remember as passwords as possible.
What should an identity architect recommend?

Suggested Answer: A Vote an answer

To help employees remember fewer passwords, an identity architect should recommend setting up Salesforce as a service provider (SP) to the existing IdP. A SP is the system that relies on the IdP for authentication and provides access to its services based on the SAML assertions from the IdP. Toset up Salesforce as a SP, you need to create a connected app for Salesforce in the IdP, enable SAML and configure the SAML settings, such as the entity ID, ACS URL, and subject type. You also need to enable SSO for your Salesforce org, upload the IdP certificate, and configure the SSO settings, such as the issuer, identity type, and service provider initiated request binding.
