SIMULATION - What are the4 steps in authenticating users when they log into Sales force?
See the solution below.
1
If the user's login is from a browser that includes a Sales force cookie, the login is allowed.
The browser will have the Sales force cookie if the user has previously used that browser to log in to Sales force, and has not cleared the browser cookies.
2
If the user's login is from an IP address in your organization's trusted IP address list, the login is allowed.
3
If the user's login is from neither a trusted IP address nor a browser with a Sales force cookie, the login is blocked.
4
Whenever a login is blocked or returns an API login fault, Sales force must verify the user's identity using a temporary verification code sent to the user's email account.
Sure, I'd be happy to explain the four steps in authenticating users when they log into Salesforce.
Step 1: Username and Password The first step is for the user to provide their username and password on the Salesforce login page. This information is then sent securely to Salesforce's servers for validation.
Step 2: Security Token If the user's login attempt is successful, Salesforce checks to see if the user has been issued a security token. If the user has been issued a security token, they are prompted to enter it after entering their password. The security token is an extra layer of security that is required for users who are logging in from outside the company's trusted network.
Step 3: Trusted IP Range If the user's login attempt is successful and they are logging in from within the company's trusted network, Salesforce checks to see if the user's IP address falls within the company's defined trusted IP range. If the user's IP address is within the trusted IP range, they are granted access to Salesforce without any additional authentication steps.
Step 4: Multi-factor Authentication If the user's login attempt is successful but they are logging in from outside the company's trusted network and they have not been issued a security token, they are prompted to complete multi-factor authentication. Multi-factor authentication requires the user to provide additional authentication factors beyond their username and password, such as a code sent to their mobile device or a fingerprint scan. Once the user successfully completes the multi-factor authentication, they are granted access to Salesforce.
I hope this explanation helps!
