• Salesforce is registered as an enterprise application in Microsoft Entra ID (Azure Active Directory / Azure AD), and sign-in is handled through SAML 2.0 or OpenID Connect, depending on the chosen auth flow.
• User identities are matched between Entra ID and Salesforce via immutable identifiers (for example, user principal name or email), with attribute mappings for username, profile fields, and federation identifiers.
• Single sign-on sessions are initiated at Entra ID and assertions/tokens are issued to Salesforce, with relay state handling for deep links into specific Salesforce pages.
• Multi-factor authentication, conditional access, and risk-based sign-in checks are evaluated in Entra ID before Salesforce grants a session, while Salesforce login history records the resulting auth context.
• Access can be scoped through Entra ID assignments and group-based app access, with group or attribute values mapped to Salesforce roles, profiles, or permission sets when provisioning is in scope.
• Deprovisioning signals in Entra ID (disable user, remove assignment) are reflected in Salesforce access by blocking login and, when configured, updating user status and entitlements.
• Authentication events and failures are logged in Entra ID sign-in logs and correlated with Salesforce event monitoring or login audit trails for investigation and compliance.

Why choose scandiweb to handle Salesforce integration for you?
How do you set up Salesforce SSO with Microsoft Entra ID (Azure Active Directory / Azure AD)?
We configure Salesforce as a SAML 2.0 service provider and Microsoft Entra ID as the identity provider, then map identifiers, certificates, and login flows. You can run it in parallel with existing logins to validate before switching users over.
Can Microsoft Entra ID conditional access and MFA be enforced for Salesforce logins?
Yes, conditional access can require MFA, compliant devices, trusted locations, or risk-based controls before Salesforce is reachable. Enforcement happens in Entra ID, so policies stay consistent across apps.
What user attributes and groups should sync from Microsoft Entra ID to Salesforce for access control?
Typically you pass UPN or email as the unique identifier, plus group or role signals used for routing users to the right profiles and permission sets. We keep Salesforce authorization in Salesforce, while Entra ID controls authentication and sign-in conditions.
How do you handle B2B partner and contractor access to Salesforce with Entra ID B2B?
You can use Entra ID B2B guest accounts or federate partner identities, then apply tighter conditional access than you would for internal users. This keeps partner onboarding and offboarding centralized, with clearer audit trails.
