Salesforce Certified Integration Architect — Question 27

An organization needs to integrate Salesforce with an external system and is considering authentication options. The organization has already implemented SAML using a third-party identity provider (IdP) for integrations between other systems.
Which use case can leverage the existing SAML integration to connect Salesforce with other internal systems?

Answer options

• A. Make Apex REST outbound integrations to external web services more secure.
• B. Make an API inbound integration from an external Java client more secure.
• C. Make formula fields with HYPERLINK() to external web servers more secure.
• D. Make Apex SOAP outbound integrations to external web services more secure.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Option C is correct because it directly relates to securing access to external web servers through hyperlinks, which can benefit from SAML authentication. The other options focus on integration methods (Apex REST, API inbound, and Apex SOAP) that do not specifically involve the use of hyperlinks, making them less relevant to the use case presented.
