This document describes how to install FuseIT S4S Packages and not how to sett set up and configure Salesforce or Sitecore.
S4S Installation Overview
Basic Install
The basic install requires a package to be installed into Sitecore and some minor Salesforce customization. Once completed you can create, read, update and delete Salesforce objects from Sitecore (like Contacts, Leads, Opportunities, Documents, Cases or custom objects). You can execute this functionality in Sitecore using custom code (see the Starter Kit or examples in this document). Note that S4S typically pushes and pulls information to and from Salesforce after a Sitecore event (button click, page load, scheduled task etc.).

IMPORTANT: The basic install assumes your Sitecore installation has the Web Forms for Marketer (WFFM) package installed. You need to install WFFM first, then install the S4S Core package. If you are not using WFFM, see the section below on how to exclude WFFM.
Web Forms for Marketers (WFFM)
If you have the Sitecore WFFM module installed and you want to push WFFM form data to Salesforce, S4S includes a mapping wizard to make this easy.

Terms
Security Connector
The Security Connector is optional. It is only required if you want visitors to log into the Sitecore website using credentials stored in a Salesforce Contact or Lead record. It requires a package to be installed in Salesforce.
The Security Connector overrides the ASP.NET membership provider so user data is only stored in Salesforce but appears in Sitecore in the “Salesforce” domain. This is commonly called "a single source of truth". After installing the Security Connector it is possible to control the Sitecore user's membership information, role, and profile from Salesforce. The most common way to implement roles is called "Multi-role" where fields in the Salesforce contact (or lead) record specify the Sitecore role. One or more Sitecore roles have the same names as selections in a custom multi-pick list in the Salesforce contact (or lead).
IMPORTANT: The Security Connector is only required if you are using a custom login control.
Web Forms for Marketers (WFFM)
If you have the Sitecore WFFM module installed and want to use it to push web form data to Salesforce, S4S includes a significant functionality to support this.
