Introduction to the Salesforce Security Model
The document presents an overview of Salesforce's security model, focusing on various authentication and authorization mechanisms including single sign-on (SSO), OAuth, and application security features such as profiles and permission sets. It outlines the roles of identity providers and service providers in federated authentication and discusses record visibility controls like organization-wide defaults and sharing rules. A demonstration of federated authentication setup and a quiz on security concepts are also included.

- 6. Single Sign-On: FederatedAuthentication SAML is The standard for Federated Single Sign-On Identity Store is the master of ‘User’ identity. Identity Provider (IdP) is the Identity Assertion Provider Service Provider (SP) is the provider of enterprise services Typical setup consists of One IdP and several SPs. Summer 13 supports multiple IdPs Identity Provider 1. Generate SAML and send to salesforce.com 2. Validate SAML and generate session

Example: https://sp-developer.my. salesforce.com • Request Resource. • Redirect to IDP • User accesses IDP and sends SAML Request • IDP Authenticates.
