How to Enforce Federated Single Sign-On for Salesforce CRM Software in OpenSSO

Similar to a previous article on how to configure for federated single sign-on (SSO) for Google Apps through OpenSSO, a new paper on SDN describes the procedure for Salesforce CRM. You learn the preliminary steps (downloading of OpenSSO and creation of accounts at OpenSSO and Salesforce), the configurations in OpenSSO and Salesforce, and the testing step.

Hats off to Rajeev Angal, an architect for access and federation management at Sun and technical coauthor of the article.
