Core Architectural Concepts: Identity and Access Management
In this chapter, you will continue exploring the general architectural concepts a Salesforce CTA should be familiar with. Identity and Access Management (IAM) is one of the most challenging topics that an architect needs to deal with. During a normal project, you might find yourself working with multiple IAM experts from different technological backgrounds. You need to be able to speak the same language as they do, understand their vision, and challenge their architectural design (if needed). As a Salesforce CTA, you are expected to step away from the standard platform knowledge to provide expert guidance in other related matters. Along with integration, IAM is another good example.
In this chapter, you are going to cover the following topics:
- Understanding the general concepts of IAM
- Becoming familiar with the common IAM standards
- Understanding the key authentication flows
