Northern Trail Outfitters (NTO) has deployed my domain. The Chief Marketing Officer wants to make sure that all of the Salesforce users log in using…

The requirement is to enforce the use of a branded login URL while providing a grace period for users to update their bookmarks. The "Redirect with a warning to the same page within the domain" policy is designed for this exact purpose. When users access an old, instance-specific URL (e.g., na123.salesforce.com), they are redirected to the new My Domain URL (nto.my.salesforce.com) and shown a message encouraging them to update their bookmarks. This behavior serves as the requested grace period, guiding users to the new URL without immediately breaking their old links.

A. Set the login policy to require login from https://nto.my.salesforce.com

This is not the precise name of the setting. The actual policy is to "Prevent login from https://login.salesforce.com," which is a different action.

B. Set the Redirect policy to Do Not redirect.

This policy would immediately stop redirects from old URLs, causing user bookmarks to fail without any warning or grace period, directly contradicting the scenario's requirements.

D. Set the login policy to prevent login from https://login.salesforce.com

This policy blocks logins from the generic Salesforce login page but does not manage redirects from old instance-specific bookmarks, nor does it provide a warning or grace period.

1. Salesforce Help

Set My Domain Login and Redirect Policies:

Under the "Routing and Redirection Policies" section

it describes the redirect options. For "Redirect with a warning to the same page within the domain

" it states

"Before redirecting the user

a message appears

letting them know the URL is changing. This option is useful for helping users learn to use the new My Domain URL." This directly supports the "grace period" and "warning" requirements.

2. Trailhead

User Authentication Module

Customize Your Login Process with My Domain Unit:

In the section "Set Up My Domain Policies

" it explains the redirect options. It explicitly states

"To give users a heads-up that they need to start using the My Domain URL

select Redirect with a warning to the same page within the domain." This confirms it as the correct choice for a transitional period.

3. Salesforce Help

My Domain Hostnames:

This document explains the different types of URLs and the purpose of redirection policies. In the "Redirections for Previous My Domain Hostnames" section

it details how redirection policies help manage the transition from old URLs to new ones after a My Domain change

reinforcing the concept of a managed grace period.
