Exam 70-486 topic 1 question 42 discussion

You are designing an enterprise-level Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) application. User accounts will migrate from the existing system. The new system must be able to scale to accommodate the increasing load.
You need to ensure that the application can handle large-scale role changes.
Which two approaches can you use for authorization?

Suggested Answer: BC 🗳️
Advanced Maturity: Authorization as a Service
In the advanced level of maturity for authorization, role storage and management is consolidated and authorization itself is a service available to any solution that is service-enabled.


The Trusted Subsystems Model -
Once authorization is available as an autonomous service, the need for impersonation is eliminated. Instead of assuming the identity of the user, the application uses its own credentials to access services and resources, but it captures the user's identity and passes it as a parameter (or token) to be used for authorization when a request is made. This model is referred to as the trusted subsystem model, because the application acts as a trusted subsystem within the security domain.
