Federated authentication using SAML

Enables login to Salesforce from a client application.
Allows you to send authorization and authentication data between unrelated web services.
Is enabled for your org automatically.
Is disabled for your org unless requested.

The correct answer is: Enables login to Salesforce from a client application.

Federated authentication using SAML enables login to Salesforce from a client application. This means that users can log in to the Salesforce environment using their credentials from a different identity provider. By using SAML, Salesforce trusts the external identity provider to authenticate the user, allowing for a seamless login experience across different applications and services. Options B, C, and D are incorrect: - Option B stating that it allows you to send authorization and authentication data between unrelated web services is related to the purpose of SAML but does not specifically address the login functionality to Salesforce. - Option C stating that federated authentication using SAML is enabled for your org automatically is incorrect, as this feature needs to be set up and configured within Salesforce and with the external identity provider. - Option D stating that federated authentication using SAML is disabled for your org unless requested is incorrect because SAML authentication can be enabled and configured within Salesforce as needed, and it is a common practice to set up federated authentication for enhanced security and user experience.
