Topic #: 3
Universal Containers (UC) has implemented SSO according to the diagram below. uses SAML while Salesforce Org 1 uses OAuth 2.0. Users usually start their day by first attempting to log into Salesforce Org 2 and then later in the day, they will log into either the Financial System or CPQ system depending upon their job position. Which two systems are acting as Identity Providers?
Suggested Answer: B,D Vote an answer
Explanation
These are the systems that are acting as identity providers (IdPs) in the SSO scenario. An IdP is a trusted provider that enables a customer to use single sign-on (SSO) to access other websites5. In this case, Pingfederate and Salesforce Org 1 are the IdPs that authenticate the users and issue SAML assertions or OAuth tokens to the service providers (SPs). The SPs are the websites that host apps and rely on the IdPs for authentication5. In this case, Salesforce Org 2, Financial System, and CPQ System are the SPs that receive the SAML assertions or OAuth tokens from the IdPs and grant access to the users.
Option A is incorrect because Financial System is not an IdP, but an SP. It does not authenticate the users, but receives SAML assertions from Pingfederate. Option C is incorrect because Salesforce Org 2 is not an IdP, but an SP. It does not authenticate the users, but receives OAuth tokens from Salesforce Org 1.
