The connector for Salesforce provides automated provisioning of user accounts from the identity sources to Salesforce. The connector also provides federated single sign-on access to Salesforce with SAML 2.0 through CloudAccess. The connector allows CloudAccess to authenticate a user against your identity sources and to share this authentication with Salesforce in order to establish the user’s session.
In addition, the connector supports single sign-on natively to a Salesforce mobile app for iOS and Android devices. The user must install and configure the NetIQ MobileAccess app and the Salesforce app to allow this interaction. The user signs in on the Salesforce login page as usual.
CloudAccess includes this connector for Salesforce with the appliance. The connector is located on the Applications palette of the Admin page.
