Salesforce Identity-and-Access-Management-Architect Practice Questions Answers Pack

You should have extensive experience in designing identity and access management solutions, with a deep understanding of security principles, single sign-on (SSO), multi-factor authentication (MFA), and identity standards such as SAML, OAuth, and OpenID Connect.

Unlike other Salesforce Architect certifications that focus on broader platform or development aspects, this certification hones in specifically on identity and access management, requiring specialized knowledge of authentication, authorization, and identity integration.

Be prepared to design and troubleshoot integrations with external identity providers, including SAML, OAuth 2.0, and OpenID Connect. You should also understand how to manage these integrations within multi-org environments.

Advanced topics include delegated authentication, Just-in-Time (JIT) provisioning, identity provider (IdP) initiated SSO, custom login flows, and the design of hybrid identity solutions that span on-premises and cloud environments.

Authentication verifies a user’s identity, while authorization determines what the user can access. The exam may test your ability to design solutions that correctly separate and manage these two functions within Salesforce.
