Study Group 9: Single Sign-On & SAML

With Charly Prinsloo

With 141 registrations, this was our first study group after Dreamforce! We also had the luxury of a CTA attending – and quite a few of our male friends too. Thank you for showing up and sharing your experiences with us all.

In this session, we learn about federated authentication within the context of SAML. Learn the terminology, take a look at an SP-initiated flow and see how to set up SSO in practice!

Have a go at setting it up yourself – take the SSO Trailhead!
