As we know there are limited options to share records between community users.

For Customer Community , we can use Sharing set or Sharing Group.

For Customer Community Plus & Partner Community we can use role & Sharing rule. Maximum role that community can have is 3 per account and thats limitation there as well.

Now , lets assume below scenario

Video – Use Microsoft Azure’s Active Directory as Identity Provider for Salesforce SSO in 15 Minutes

Author posted by Jitendra on Posted on under category Categories Microsoft, Salesforce and tagged as Tags , , , , with Leave a comment on Video – Use Microsoft Azure’s Active Directory as Identity Provider for Salesforce SSO in 15 Minutes

Video tutorial on how to use Microsoft Azure’s Active Directory as a Identity Provider for Salesforce. It uses Federated Single Sign On (SSO) feature of Salesforce

This is quick video tutorial on how Microsoft Azure can be used to setup as Identity Provider for Salesforce Single Sign On.

Few things worth of note:

  • If you are new to Microsoft Azure, you can get free trial access however you might need to provide Credit card details to use few features. You would not get charged because we get $200 worth credit for new Account that can be used in a span of year.
  • I was not able to use Azure’s Active Directory SSO for Just in Time (JIT) provisioning. Rather, it connects to Salesforce and creates user whenever user is provisioned in Active Directory, just like Identity Connect
  • Security token is mandatory. In case if you have IP login range then we don’t get Security token. To fix this, we can divide our password to have some value in Security token. As final password anyways is Password + Security Token. Shown in below image
  • When we assign any user to Enterprise application (in our case its Salesforce), we need to map profile to the user.

Introduction to Lightning Test Services with Jasmine

Complete Source code and video of using Lightning Datatable Component and Jasmine in Salesforce

In previous post, we discussed what is Jasmine and simple hello world program to see how it works. In this blog post, we will discuss how Jasmine can be used in Salesforce to test Lightning Component’s Javascript code.

Note : Everything we are discussing here is completely covered as part of Live coding in Apex Salesforce Saturday organized by Amit. Would like to thank Mohith for his support and answers during the demo. It also shows How SalesforceDX can be used daily by developers to perform development.

Jasmine and Mocha support is provided as a part of Lightning Test Service (LTS) by Salesforce. Jasmine and Mocha, both are well known and industry wide solution accepted in Javascript world. of course, Salesforce don’t want to stay behind in terms of its offering to developers thats why we have new baby in town – Lightning Test Service (LTS).

Getting Started with Jasmine Test Framework

Author posted by Jitendra on Posted on under category Categories Web Technology and tagged as Tags , , , with 1 Comment on Getting Started with Jasmine Test Framework

Introduction to Jasmine framework and getting started with Behavior Driven Development (BDD) testing, along with Complete Source code and Video

Jasmine is a Javascript Testing framework which starts with behavioral specifications as a basis for writing test cases. To put it another way, you can consider user stories as a reference for write test cases. Each user story in your project can have one or more Jasmine test cases.

Majorly, Jasmine is made up of three functions

  1. describe
  2. it
  3. assertions (expect)

Like standard frameworks, it also has setup method and tear down methods

  • beforeEach() – Setup Method
  • afterEach() – Teardown Method

For the sake of simplicity of post, I would not discuss much in detail. However, you can navigate to official Jasmine guide for deep dive. Continue reading “Getting Started with Jasmine Test Framework”

Using JWT Flow to Authenticate Nodejs application with Salesforce

Author posted by Jitendra on Posted on under category Categories Salesforce and tagged as Tags , , , , with 8 Comments on Using JWT Flow to Authenticate Nodejs application with Salesforce

Video tutorial and Complete source code to use Salesforce JWT OAuth to authenticate Nodejs Application

JWT OAuth uses digital signature to authenticate external application with Salesforce. JWT can be used to request an OAuth access token from Salesforce when a client wants to use a previous authorization.

Complete Source code is available here.

How JWT OAuth works
  1. Developer creates a connected app and provides digital certificate in OAuth settings. You can refer this post to understand how openssl can be used to create digital certificate locally.
  2. We need to make sure this connected app is already pre – approved either by using WebServer, User Agent or any other flow. You can find this step in video recorded.
  3. We need to generate JWT token and sign it with certificate. This code snippet is available in this file in method getJWTSignedToken_nJWTLib(). I have used njwt module of Nodejs to create a JWT token. This is very useful website to validate and generate JWT token as per digital certificate.
  4. Next we need to send JWT request to token URL –  https://login.salesforce.com/services/oauth2/token
  5. If JWT request is valid then Salesforce returns access_token , which can be used in subsequent requests to perform allowed operations in Salesforce via Nodejs application.

Performing Load Testing in Salesforce using Selenium and TestNG

Parallel execution of browsers in Selenium with the help of TestNG and determining maximum operating capacity of custom code in Salesforce

When we build any custom solution in Salesforce, key is to write an efficient and meaningful Apex test classes for sure. However sometime we may need to test how custom application would behave in maximum operating capacity. Here, I am talking about Load Testing of custom applications built on top of Force.com platform. Recently I needed to push my code to its limit to know how many concurrent users can use it before hitting any governor limits. Quickly I realize that its time to call my friends Selenium and TestNG.

Before doing any extensive stress or load testing on Salesforce, we must need to contact Salesforce support and explain them what we are trying to achieve. More detail available in this official Salesforce blog post.

I have published some blog posts about Selenium in past as well however whats different this time ? I need to determine after how many simultaneous user interactions, I would hit Concurrent Apex Limit error as shown in below image.

Salesforce Governor Limit error - Concurrent Apex Limit
