Add the following element to the system.web » profile » providers section of the web.config file:

<add name="salesforceContact" type="FuseIT.Sitecore.SalesforceSecurityProvider.SalesforceProfileProvider, FuseIT.Sitecore.SalesforceSecurityProvider" connectionStringName="S4SConnString" readOnly="false"/>


Add the following profile properties to the system.web » profile » properties section of the web.config file (some fields only applicable for contact):

<add type="System.String" name="Country" customProviderData="S4S|MailingCountry|String"/>
<add type="System.String" name="City" customProviderData="S4S|MailingCity|String"/>
<add type="System.String" name="BirthDate" customProviderData="S4S|CreatedDate|DateTime"/>
<add type="System.String" name="DoNotEmail" customProviderData="S4S|IsDeleted|Boolean"/>
<!-- Person Accounts only: Add readOnly attribute to prevent S4S from writing to Salesforce if Person Accounts is on --> 
<add type="System.String" name="UserAccountId" customProviderData="S4S|AccountId|String" readOnly="true" />

The above list of properties is an example. The list can be expanded with other properties as per Adding Profile Properties (Pre-Sitecore 9).
