found this funny...on a major company's website



As developers, this is something we definitely see in our work. However when it ends up showing up on our customer website, it can be very embarrassing for our entire organization.

Workaround to bypass Salesforce SSO

One of the best practices for implementing Single Sign On for your Salesforce org is always ensure there is a way your System administrator can login via the standard login page side-stepping the SSO configuration.  Reason for this is if ever something goes wrong with your Idp provider's service and the SSO authentication responses are not coming as expected, all your users are unable to login.

The site where this software is available is - http://www.forceamp.com/ Overview: It essentially installs on top of an existing SQL Server database and provides an OLE DB connector that can be used to connect to Salesforce. Behind the scenes, it executes API calls against Salesforce for any SQL server command it receives. Thus we can create a connection in SQL server to Salesforce org and pull data into tables in the database just as if we are querying against Salesforce tables directly. Use cases for DBAmap + Salesforce: Many use cases exist for using this tool against Sales...

Anyway before that i thought i will leave some pointers to any folks who may be taking Summer 16 anytime soon Below are some topics you can read about to prepare yourself for the exam - 1. Process builder improvements -  Process builder can now execute immediate actions and then evaluate the next criteria in the flow. Please see this link - https://releasenotes.docs.salesforce.com/en-us/summer16/release-notes/rn_forcecom_process_multiple_actions.htm Expect a question on this. 2. Files sharing permission -  In Classic, when a file is shared to a user via a record, its access can be set to "Set by Record". This allows the record level access to determine access level for the file as well. Read about this below - https://releasenotes.docs.salesforce.com/en-us/summer16/release-notes/rn_files_access_by_record.htm 3. Chatter Q...
