SAML stands for “Security Assertion Markup Language” and it is Open standard for exchanging Authentication and Authorization between Systems. SAML based authentication is supported by all editions of Salesforce.
User Validation can be initiated by any one of below two types:
Service Provider Initiated SSO
Identity Provider (IDp) initioated SSO
We are going to use Identity Provider Initiated SSO in this article. Means User will Login from Outside(IDp) and will be redirected to Salesforce (Service Provider). Identity Provider must follow Federated Authentication (SAML) standard which should be deployed to DMZ (URL should be publicly accessible on Internet) layer of your Organization. As a Salesforce developer you should assume that you will always get IDp URL which implements SSO and implements valid SAML response. To Quickly start with this tutorial assume that your organization already deployed SAML based Authentication endpoint and for that we will be using great Heroku app available freely as open source named “AXIOM“.
ID Initiated Single Sign On :
In IDP Initiated SSO, User Directly logins to Identity provider and IDP redirects user to proper Salesforce Instance with SAML assertion in request (Service Provider). If SAML assertion is valid then Salesforce validates that user successfully.
Step 1 : Enable My Domain
Step 2: Download Identity Provider Certificate
In this step we are going to get certificate from IDp. This certificate will be used by Salesforce to validate that client coming for user authentication is valid to avoid any unauthorized access to Service Provider (In our case it is Salesforce).
Trigger framework is not just needed for having single object per trigger guidance but also helps in different other reasons. According to the trigger framework : 1) Create a single trigger for each object. 2) A handler class which will call Action or Apex Interface based Trigger Framework Implementation One Trigger -One Object Policy Framework Implementation Bulkified Code Avoid SOQL Queries or DML statements inside FOR Loops Using Collections, Streamlining Queries, and Efficient For Loops No Hardcoding IDs Types of Framework available : 1.Handler/Controller Framework 2.Lightweight Apex Trigger Framework (Source: http://chrisaldridge.com/triggers/lightweight-apex-trigger-framework/ ) Handler Framewo...
Introduction to Apex REST Salesforce platform is amazing and its lets your create your own lightweight REST API using Apex. You can use this REST API to access force.com data, by authenticating the caller/consumer of API using standard oAuth and return data format support JSON/XML, purely depends how you want return back the data A few useful bits of information related to these REST APIs: Use standard HTTP verbs: GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE, and HEAD. You can use either HTTP or HTTPS. Use standard security to authenticate your REST calls via OAuth 2.0. Serialize your data in either XML or JSON format. This is done by defining your Apex class with the @RestResource annotation to expose it as a REST resource. Similarly, add annotations to your methods to expose them through REST. For example, you can add the @HttpGet annotation to your method to expose it as a REST resource that can be called by an HTTP GET request. Ap...
Action tags-This tags support for calling action and refresh the field only not visualforce page. apex:actionFunction - Provides support for invoking controller action methods directly from JavaScript code using an AJAX request. An <apex:actionFunction> component must be a child of an <apex:form> component. apex:actionPoller A timer that sends an AJAX update request to the server according to a time interval that you specify. Update request can then result in a full or partial page update. You should avoid using this component with enhanced lists. apex:actionRegion This action tag is use AJAX request for particular field or component. Like we have change the value of pick list in visual force then request go to Server and come back through AJAX without Saving the VF page. apex:actionStatus A c...
