WARNING: The Riva for Salesforce Single Sign-On connection strategy described in this article is not supported for new Riva On-Premise installations.

New Riva On-Premise installations include a new strategy to provide impersonation access into Salesforce: the Standard Impersonation Model. For instructions on implementing the Standard Impersonation Model, see Prepare Salesforce for Riva and Create and test a Salesforce connection.

For current Riva On-Premise installations that use Salesforce Single Sign-On, administrators are encouraged to upgrade their Riva for Salesforce connection setup to the Standard Impersonation Model. For assistance, contact the Riva Success Team.

The procedures in the following article have been deprecated. The information is being retained for clients who have not yet converted to the new Standard Impersonation Model.

Creating single-user sync policies for Salesforce target users involves the following steps:

Properly set the target users

The goal is to create a sync policy that uses the CRM connection for the target user and identifies the corresponding email account.  As a best practise, the policy should not be enabled until after it is created.

  1. In the Riva application, select Policies.

  2. Click the CRM: Salesforce link to start the connection wizard.

  3. In the "Edit CRM Synchronization" window, select the "General" tab:

  4. Modify the Name to identify this sync policy will be SSO-enabled.  If multiple sync policies are displayed in the Riva policies list, it will make it easier to manage the correct policy.

  5. Click select >> and pick the "Riva SF SSO Connection" from the list provided.

  6. Click add >> to select the corresponding Exchange target users for the test target Salesforce accounts (refer to step 3).

  7. Ensure that the Enabled option is not checked.

Configure the sync policy options

Configure the sync policy options to match the data sync requirements for your environment.  Refer to the next step to set the proper CRM connection method.

Set the correct CRM connection method

By default, the sync policy will be configured for Use the configured CRM account which is the correct option.  When this option is selected, Riva will ignore the Execution Threads value and only consume one execution thread when the target user is being synced by Riva.

Do not attempt to set the CRM connection method to Use Impersonation.  Riva will display the following error which is normal because the Riva connection account for Salesforce is not yet SSO enabled.

Save the Sync Policy

Once the sync policy options settings have been configured, the policy can be saved.  When the first sync policy is saved, Riva will prompt to install the CRM Agent service.  As long as the sync policy is not enabled, Riva will not try to perform an initial sync against the target user.
