What are two are key benefits of Customer 360 Identity as it relates to Customer 360? Choose 2 answers A. Customer 360 Identity automatically integrates with Customer 360 Data Manager and Customer 360 Audiences to seamlessly populate all user data B. Customer 360 Identity supports multiple brands so you can deliver centralized identity services and correlation of user activity, even if it spans multiple corporate brands and user experiences C. Customer 360 Identity enables an organization to build a single login for each of its customers, giving the organization an understanding of the user's login activity across all its digital properties and applications D. Customer 360 Identity not only provides a unified sign up and sign in experience, but also tracks anonymous user activity prior to signing up so organizations can understand user activity before and after the users identify themselves

A client is planning to rollout multi-factor authentication (MFA) to its internal employees and wants to understand which authentication and verification methods meet the Salesforce criteria for secure authentication. Which three functions meet the Salesforce criteria for secure MFA? Choose 3 answers A. Username and password + SMS passcode B. Third-party single sign-on with Mobile Authenticator app C. Certificate-based Authentication D. Lightning Login E. Username and password + security key
B, D, E If you use certificate-based authentication for your Salesforce org, or if your SSO implementation uses user certificates instead of usernames and passwords, you don't satisfy the MFA requirement. Lightning Login relies on Salesforce Authenticator (version 2 or later), the multi-factor authentication mobile app that's available as a free download for iOS and Android devices. By requiring two factors of authentication for login, Lightning Login adds an extra layer of security. You can use the free multi-factor authentication (MFA) service included in Salesforce for users that log in via a third-party single sign-on (SSO) provider.

A service provider (SP) supports both Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) and OpenID Connect (OIDC). When integrating this SP with Salesforce, which use case is the determining factor when choosing OIDC or SAML? A. They are equivalent protocols and there is no real reason to choose one over the other. B. If the user has a session on Salesforce, you do not want them to be prompted for a username and password when they login to the SP. C. The SP needs to perform API calls back to Salesforce on behalf of the user after the user logs in to the service provider. D. OpenID Connect (OIDC) is more secure than SAML and therefore is the obvious choice.
C 1. If fast and easy implementation is your primary consideration, choose OIDC. It is much simpler to get up and running than SAML. 2. If your organization uses an API-centered architecture, OIDC will provide a better experience for users of native and single-page applications. OIDC is lightweight and more performance-friendly than SAML. 2. For large enterprises that require a higher level of security, SAML might be the better choice. SAML allows multi-factor authentication. It is a more mature standard with a proven track record and more feature-rich than OIDC.

A farming enterprise offers smart farming technology to its farmer customers, which includes a variety of sensors for livestock tracking, pest monitoring, climate monitoring etc. They plan to store all the data in Salesforce. They would also like to ensure timely maintenance of the installed sensors. They have engaged a Salesforce Architect to propose an appropriate way to generate sensor information in Salesforce. Which OAuth flow should the architect recommend? A. OAuth 2.0 SAML Bearer Assertion Flow B. OAuth 2.0 JWT Bearer Token Flow C. OAuth 2.0 Device Authentication Flow D. OAuth 2.0 Asset Token Flow
D OAuth 2.0 Asset Token Flow does not involve any user interaction, and the IoT device uses a pre-authorized asset token to request an access token directly from the resource server. OAuth 2.0 Device Authentication Flow requires user interaction, as the device needs to display a user code and verification URL to the end-user. The end-user must manually enter the code on a separate device and visit the verification URL to authorize the device's access. In the context of the farming enterprise's smart farming technology, where sensors need to communicate with Salesforce, the more appropriate OAuth flow is the OAuth 2.0 Asset Token Flow. Since sensors are IoT devices and might not have user interfaces for direct interaction, the Asset Token Flow allows them to securely authenticate and access Salesforce resources without relying on user involvement.
