Hi,

We are establishing an SSO with Salesforce, using SAML 2.0 and currently considering purchasing dotConnect for Salesforce for general development connections. Does the current version (2.2) allow for SAML connections instead of the standard connection string? If not, where is this in the release cycle?

We will investigate the question and post here about the result.

Please refer to https://login.salesforce.com/help/doc/e ... cess_token. As we understand, you want to obtain SAML Assertion in your code and pass it (instead of User ID, Password, Security Token) to the SalesforceConnection object to establish connection to salesforce.com. Is this correct?

This is correct, we are looking to use something like the connection string used for SQL server (";data source=<myserver>\SQLEXPRESS;initial catalog=<mycatalog>;integrated security=True;multipleactiveresultsets=True;App=EntityFramework"). This would simplify our service account management, as we would not need to encrypt configuration, etc.

We are working on the SSO/SAML support in dotConnect for Salesforce. We will post here when it is implemented.

Any update on this?
Thanks.

The investigation is in progress. As soon as we have any results, we will let you know.
