#Entra #AzureAD

I've been working with a company that uses When I Work for employee scheduling and time tracking. This week, they wanted to onboard the service to Entra ID so that users can have a seamless sign on experience through their Microsoft account and the IT admins can secure logins with Conditional Access and other features in the M365 platform.

In my experience, every time I setup SAML Single Sign-On with SaaS apps in Entra ID, the language to get the integration setup is all over the place. Entity IDs, ACS, Issuer URLs, Endpoint URLs, Consumer URLs, Authority URLs, OAuth token endpoints—it's very confusing and changes for each service.

For this project, we couldn't find a guide for onboarding WhenIWork to Entra ID for Single Sign-On, so I wanted to write these steps down for other admins who need it. Big thanks to Sam Guerra for figuring this out.

I recently received a request to update the Azure Data Factory Linked Service connector to Salesforce. When they login, they get the following warning message:

Your Data Factory has pipelines that are still utilizing the legacy connector versions. Please kindly upgrade to the latest connector version at your earliest convenience. For your reference, you can view all the relevant linked services here.

When I click on the “View all” link, I can see that there's a Linked Service with the “Salesforce (Legacy)” type listed:

This post will discuss the steps for upgrading this connector to use the modern OAuth method for authentication and how to update your Azure Data Factory flows with the new Salesforce connector.
