Authentication methods: Native Salesforce Auth; Delegated Authentication; Federated Authentication; Salesforce Native: Simple login at login.sf.com Delegated Auth: A SSO solution, utilizes a web service call to determine if a user has logged into a web site (IE: Intranet Portal) Federated Auth: A SSO solution, utilizes SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language) Auth provider: A SSO solution, utilizing a Pre-integrated service from a branded Identity Service Where a user logs in is dependent on which Auth method used. For Native: login.salesforce.com OR test.salesforce.com
- #12 User login.salesforce.com for prod, test.salesforce.com for sandbox
- #13 Federated Auth: Allows you to send authentication between unrelated Web Services. Allows sign on from Client applications. Enabled by default in the Salesforce org. Delegated Auth: Allows integration with an auth of your choice: integrate with LDAP, auth with security token instead of password. Set by permissions not by org level (can have some user auth with Delegated auth and some with SF standard auth.
