Salesforce Certified Integration Architect — Question 65

A subscription-based media company’s system landscape forces many subscribers to maintain multiple accounts and to login more than once. An Identity and Access Management (IAM) system, which supports SAML and OpenId, was recently implemented to improve the subscriber experience through self-registration and single sign-on (SSO).

The IAM system must integrate with Salesforce to give new self-service customers instant access to Salesforce Community Cloud.

Which requirement should the Salesforce Community Cloud support for self-registration and SSO?

Answer options

• A. OpenId Connect Authentication Provider and Registration Handler
• C. OpenId Connect Authentication Provider and JIT provisioning
• D. SAML SSO and Registration Handler

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because using the OpenId Connect Authentication Provider along with a Registration Handler allows for the necessary self-registration and SSO functionalities for new users. Options B and D, while related, do not address the self-registration requirement adequately; B lacks a Registration Handler, and D does not use OpenId Connect, which is critical for the current IAM system's integration.
