Salesforce Provisioner

The Salesforce Provisioner allows PingFederate to integrate with Salesforce customer relations management (CRM) products, such as Sales, Communities, and Chatter. The integration enables single sign-on (SSO) and allows PingFederate to provision users and groups to Salesforce.

Provisioning connector

Allows PingFederate to manage users and groups in Salesforce based on changes in an external user datastore. Includes a quick-connection template that helps you create a connection to Salesforce by pre-populating some configuration settings.

The provisioner allows you to enable the create, update, and disable capabilities independently and customize other provisioning behaviors.
