Salesforce Certified Identity and Access Management Designer — Question 17

Which three capabilities does SAML-based Federated authentication provide? (Choose three.)

Answer options

• A. Centralized federation provides single point of access, control and auditing.
• B. Access tokens are used to access resources on the server once the user is authenticated.
• C. Web applications with no passwords are more secure and stronger against hacks.
• D. Trust relationships between Identity Provider and Service Provider are required.
• E. SAML tokens can be in XML or JSON format and can be used interchangeably.

Correct answer: A, C, D

Explanation

Option A is correct because centralized federation allows for streamlined access and auditing. Option C is valid as password-less web applications indeed enhance security. Option D is necessary since trust relationships are fundamental for SAML operations. Option B is incorrect because it describes access tokens, which are not specifically a feature of SAML but rather a general concept in authentication. Option E is not accurate since SAML tokens are primarily in XML format, not JSON.
