Salesforce Spring 25 Release 255 Questions
A consumer products company uses Salesforce to maintain consumer information, including orders. The company implemented a portal solution using Salesforce Experience Cloud for its consumers where the consumers can log in using their credentials. The company is considering allowing users to login with their Facebook or Linkedln credentials.
Once enabled, what role will Salesforce play?
A. Facebook and Linkedln will be the SPs.
B. Salesforce will be the service provider (SP).
C. Salesforce will be the identity provider (IdP).
D. Facebook and Linkedln will act as the IdPs and SPs.
B. Salesforce will be the service provider (SP).
Explanation:
To allow users to login with their Facebook or LinkedIn credentials, Salesforce will play the role of a service provider (SP). A SP is an entity that relies on an identity provider (IdP) to authenticate and authorize users. In this scenario, Facebook and LinkedIn are the IdPs, and Salesforce is the SP. The SP receives a token from the IdP and uses it to access Salesforce resources. The other options are not correct for this scenario.
