How to Enable Delegated Authentication (Single Sign-On) in Salesforce

Data pubblicazione: May 1, 2026
Descrizione

What Is Delegated Authentication?

Delegated Authentication in Salesforce allows your organization to use an external web service to authenticate users, rather than relying on Salesforce's built-in username and password authentication. This is a form of Single Sign-On (SSO) — a method that lets users log in once and access multiple systems without re-entering credentials.


As of the Summer '20 release, this feature is no longer required to be enabled by Salesforce Support. A Salesforce Administrator can enable it directly via Setup.


Delegated Authentication is available in the following editions: Professional, Enterprise, Performance, Unlimited, and Developer Editions.
