Wait, they can only use OAuth? That’s kinda limiting, right?

I feel like configuring Salesforce for Delegated Authentication might be an option, but it doesn't seem to fit with the OAuth requirement.

I practiced a similar question where we had to add a connected app. I wonder if that’s the right approach for this scenario too.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about creating a custom external authentication provider. Could that work here?

I think we should configure SSO to use the third-party portal as an identity provider. That seems like the most straightforward option.

The put method is a write operation, not a read-only one, so I can eliminate option A. Now I just need to decide between B and C.

Okay, I've got a strategy for this. I'll eliminate the options that are clearly insecure and then evaluate the remaining choices.

Hmm, this seems like a challenging question, but I think I can handle it. The key will be to focus on one part at a time - first the binomial model, then the Black-Scholes assumptions, and finally the dividend impact. If I stay organized, I should be able to work through this.

If I had a nickel for every time I saw 'Salesforce' and 'single sign-on' in the same question... Option A is the way to go, no doubt about it.

I'm with Micah on this one. The problem statement clearly states that the third-party portal only supports OAuth, so that's the logical choice. No need to overcomplicate things.

Option B seems like a lot of extra work when the third-party portal already supports OAuth. Why reinvent the wheel?

The correct answer is A. Configuring SSO to use the third-party portal as an identity provider is the most straightforward approach since the portal only supports OAuth.
