Wait, are we sure about this? Sounds a bit confusing!

B makes sense, API tokens are essential for access.

I thought SAML was involved too, but I guess not?

Totally agree, OAuth is key here.

A is correct, the user authorizes via OAuth!

I feel like the integration user's credentials in option D could be a fallback method, but I’m not confident if that’s how it works with Heroku Connect specifically.

I’m a bit confused about SAML being mentioned in option C. I thought Heroku Connect primarily relied on OAuth, but maybe there’s a scenario I missed?

I think option B sounds familiar because it mentions API tokens, which is something we discussed in relation to Salesforce integrations.

I remember that Heroku Connect uses OAuth for authentication, but I'm not sure if it's the end user who authorizes it or if it's done differently.

I'm a little unsure about this one. I know Heroku Connect integrates Salesforce data, but I'm not totally clear on the authentication flow. I'll make sure to review that part of the documentation before the exam.

I'm pretty sure the answer is that Heroku Connect uses a single integration user's credentials to make API calls to Salesforce. That seems like the most straightforward way to handle the authentication.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused on this one. Is it something to do with SAML authentication? I'll have to review the Heroku Connect documentation again to make sure I understand how it integrates with Salesforce.

I think I know the answer to this one. Heroku Connect uses OAuth to authorize access to Salesforce data, so the end user of the Heroku app has to authorize Heroku Connect to access their Salesforce account.

Okay, let me think this through. Heroku Connect needs to access Salesforce data, so it must be using some kind of authentication method. Based on the options, it sounds like it's using OAuth to get API tokens after the user authorizes the Heroku Connect app in Salesforce.

Okay, let's see. I know SharedPreferences, Android's file system, and External Storage are definitely options, but I'm not sure about the others.

Haha, if the answer was 'D', that would be like giving Heroku Connect the keys to the Salesforce kingdom. Not a good idea!

Using a single integration user's credentials? That's a big security risk, I hope that's not the right answer.

Using a single integration user's credentials is indeed a security risk.
