Northern Trail Outfitters requires an integration to be set up between one of its Salesforce orgs and an External Data Source using Salesforce Connect. The External Data Source supports Open Data Protocol.
Which configuration should an integration architect recommend be implemented in order to secure requests coming from Salesforce?
To secure requests coming from Salesforce for an OData connection, the best practice is to configure the Identity Type. This ensures that the integration uses a secure and authenticated method to access the external data source, verifying that requests are made by a trusted entity. CSRF protection is not relevant here as it deals with web page vulnerabilities and not with securing OData connections.
CSRF is cross site forgery on a web page.
