how to read variables from jit handler methods salesforce

How does JIT provisioning in Salesforce handle user data?

When a user logs in to an org with standard JIT provisioning enabled, Salesforce pulls user data from the identity provider and stores it in a new User object. The configuration requires the following steps:

How to implement jithandler in SAML?

When implementing Auth.SamlJitHandler, you have to have both methods (createUser, updateUser) defined in the class. If you auto-create the RegHandler class when setting up JitHandler, then you will have many other methods.

What happens when you throw a jitexception in Salesforce?

If you throw a new JitException (), then the user will view the OOTB Salesforce page indicating something went wrong with the SSO. BUT the user is still technically logged in, if you hack up the URL on the error page, you can still get to the community home.

What are all triggers in Salesforce?

All triggers define implicit variables that allow developers to access run-time context. These variables are contained in the System.Trigger class. Returns true if the current context for the Apex code is a trigger, not a Visualforce page, a Web service, or an executeanonymous () API call.

Usage

To use custom logic for user provisioning during SAML single sign-on, you must create a class that implements Auth.SamlJitHandler. This allows you to incorporate organization-specific logic (such as populating custom fields) when users log in to Salesforce with single sign-on.

SamlJitHandler Example Implementation

This is an example implementation of the Auth.SamlJitHandler interface. This code uses private methods to handle accounts and contacts (handleContact () and handleAccount ()), which aren’t included in this example.

Handling Actions with Controllers

Up to now, we’ve worked only with XML-style markup. Up to now, the only way to have our component’s output change was to change that markup. Up to now, our components didn’t react to user input. Up to now, we haven’t written any JavaScript.

Beyond the Basics

We talk a lot about controllers in this unit, and we know that the component itself is a view. We even mentioned the MVC, or Model-View-Controller, design pattern that’s so common in web app frameworks. Is Lightning Components built on the MVC pattern?

Action Handlers

The combination of name-value pair and specific function signature is an action handler. You’ll hear or see the terms action handler, controller action, and controller function used interchangeably, and for the most part that’s correct. They almost always refer to the same thing. (We’re not going to worry about the exceptions in this module.)

The Aura Components View-Controller Programming Model

OK, gut check time. Is this making sense? For sure? If you just think so, make sure you’ve actually created the helloMessageInteractive component using the preceding code. It’s one component, and copy/pasting the code takes two minutes, but being able to play with it is essential for understanding handling actions.

Function Chaining, Rewiring, and Simple Debugging

Our first version of handleClick was three lines of code, because we broke each step in the get-process-set pattern into separate lines. You can use something called function chaining to collapse those into fewer lines. Since you’ll probably see this in other Lightning Components code, let’s give it a whirl ourselves.
