[All AZ-103 Questions]

You need to recommend an identity solution that meets the technical requirements.
What should you recommend?

  • A. Pass-through Authentication and single sign-on (SSO)
  • B. password hash synchronization and single sign-on (SSO)
  • C. federated single sign-on (SSO) and Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS)
  • D. cloud-only user accounts
Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A 🗳️
Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) Pass-through Authentication allows users to sign in to both on-premises and cloud-based applications using the same passwords. When users sign in using Azure AD, this feature validates users' passwords directly against your on-premises Active Directory. On-premises passwords are never stored in the cloud in any form.
Scenario: Technical Requirements include:
Prevent user passwords or hashes of passwords from being stored in Azure.

Nevermind! B will not work "Prevent user passwords or hashes of passwords from being stored in Azure." Thus it has to be A.

I believe it is C Consideration - Where does authentication happen? 1. Password hash synchronization + Seamless SSO 2. Pass-through Authentication + Seamless SSO 3. Federation with AD FS 1. In the cloud 2. In the cloud after a secure password verification exchange with the on-premises authentication agent 3.On-premises

Question states "Minimize administrative effort whenever possible" ADFS requires much more admin effort than answer A. Pass-through Authentication and single sign-on (SSO) So best answer is A

you generally would use ADFS if you have a requirement for authentication that cannot not be met using PTA
