Salesforce Certified Identity and Access Management Designer — Question 13

Universal Containers (UC) has a desktop application to collect leads for marketing campaigns. UC wants to extend this application to integrate with Salesforce to create leads. Integration between the desktop application and Salesforce should be seamless.
What Authorization flow should the Architect recommend?

Answer options

• A. JWT Bearer Token Flow
• B. Username and Password Flow
• C. User Agent Flow
• D. Web Server Authentication Flow

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The User Agent Flow is the most suitable choice for applications that require user interaction and a seamless experience, as it leverages the user's browser for authentication. The JWT Bearer Token Flow and Web Server Authentication Flow are more appropriate for server-to-server communications, while the Username and Password Flow lacks the necessary user experience and security measures for a desktop application.
