Question 1 · choose 1
Contoso's on-premises expense app runs on IIS with Integrated Windows Authentication and supports neither SAML nor headers. Remote employees must reach it without a VPN and without a second sign-in after Microsoft Entra ID. What should you configure?
AApplication proxy with header-based single sign-on, passing the user name in an HTTP header
BA SAML-based enterprise application with the app's URL as the reply URL
CApplication proxy with Kerberos constrained delegation from the connector to the app's SPN
DApplication proxy with password-based SSO, storing each user's credentials for the app
Show the answer and why
AApplication proxy with header-based single sign-on, passing the user name in an HTTP header
Incorrect
Header-based SSO fits apps that read identity from headers, which this app doesn't.
BA SAML-based enterprise application with the app's URL as the reply URL
Incorrect
The app doesn't support SAML, so it can't accept the token.
CApplication proxy with Kerberos constrained delegation from the connector to the app's SPN
Correct
The connector impersonates the user with KCD to get a Kerberos ticket for the app.
DApplication proxy with password-based SSO, storing each user's credentials for the app
Incorrect
Password-based SSO fills sign-in forms; an IWA app has no form to fill.
Application proxy supports SSO to apps secured with Integrated Windows Authentication by having the private network connector use Kerberos constrained delegation: Active Directory lets the connector impersonate the user and obtain a Kerberos ticket for the app's service principal name. The connector and app servers must be domain joined in the same or trusting domains.
Users may consent on their own only to apps from verified publishers or registered in Contoso, and only for permissions that Contoso has classified as low impact. Requests for anything else must reach a group of reviewers instead of failing. Which two settings should you configure? (Choose TWO.)
AUser consent set to Do not allow user consent
BUser consent set to Allow user consent for apps, for all permissions that don't need admin consent
CUser consent set to Allow user consent for apps from verified publishers, for selected permissions
DTenant-wide admin consent granted in advance for every app in the gallery
EThe admin consent workflow with that group set as reviewers
Show the answer and why
AUser consent set to Do not allow user consent
Incorrect
Users then can't consent to anything, including the low-impact permissions they're allowed.
BUser consent set to Allow user consent for apps, for all permissions that don't need admin consent
Incorrect
This option lets users consent to any app, verified or not.
CUser consent set to Allow user consent for apps from verified publishers, for selected permissions
Correct
This option limits user consent to verified or tenant apps and to permissions classified as low impact.
DTenant-wide admin consent granted in advance for every app in the gallery
Incorrect
Granting consent ahead of time to every gallery app bypasses review entirely.
EThe admin consent workflow with that group set as reviewers
Correct
Users who can't consent can then send a request to the designated reviewers.
The setting Allow user consent for apps from verified publishers, for selected permissions limits consent to apps from verified publishers and apps registered in the tenant, for permissions classified as low impact. The admin consent workflow lets users request consent for other apps, and designated reviewers approve or deny the requests.
You just configured automatic SCIM provisioning to a SaaS app with new attribute mappings. Before you start the 40-minute cycles for 5,000 users, you want to see right away exactly what would be sent for one test user and whether the app accepts it. What should you use?
ARestart provisioning with the Clear current state option
BA scoping filter that matches only the test user's UPN
CThe provisioning logs, filtered on the test user
DProvision on demand for the test user
Show the answer and why
ARestart provisioning with the Clear current state option
Incorrect
Clearing state starts a full cycle for everyone in scope, not a single-user test.
BA scoping filter that matches only the test user's UPN
Incorrect
A scoping filter limits who's in scope but still waits for the next cycle.
CThe provisioning logs, filtered on the test user
Incorrect
The logs show what already happened in a cycle; they don't trigger a test.
DProvision on demand for the test user
Correct
It runs provisioning for that one user immediately and shows each step's result.
On-demand provisioning provisions one user (or group) immediately, outside the regular cycle, and shows the import, scoping, matching and export steps with their results, which makes it the way to validate new attribute mappings before large cycles run.
A team that holds Cloud Application Administrator manages Contoso's SaaS apps. It's now asked to publish two on-premises web apps through Microsoft Entra application proxy, but can't change the apps' application proxy settings. What's the least privileged built-in role that lets the team do it?
AHybrid Identity Administrator
BApplication Administrator
CGlobal Administrator
DApplication Developer
Show the answer and why
AHybrid Identity Administrator
Incorrect
This role manages hybrid identity components such as Connect and Cloud Sync, not app proxy settings on apps.
BApplication Administrator
Correct
It manages all aspects of enterprise apps and app registrations, including application proxy settings.
CGlobal Administrator
Incorrect
It can, but Application Administrator is less privileged and enough.
DApplication Developer
Incorrect
It can't manage application proxy settings of existing enterprise applications.
Cloud Application Administrator can create and manage all aspects of app registrations and enterprise apps except application proxy. Application Administrator adds the application proxy settings, such as URLs and certificates, so it's the least privileged built-in role for publishing apps through application proxy.
An enterprise application has Assignment required set to No and Visible to users set to Yes. Which users see it in the My Apps portal?
AEvery user in the tenant
BOnly users and group members assigned to the app
COnly Global Administrators
DNobody, until the app is added to a collection
Show the answer and why
AEvery user in the tenant
Incorrect
Visibility in My Apps still depends on assignment.
BOnly users and group members assigned to the app
Correct
Only assigned users see an app in My Apps, whether or not assignment is required.
COnly Global Administrators
Incorrect
Administrators aren't the only ones who see assigned apps.
DNobody, until the app is added to a collection
Incorrect
Collections are optional; assigned apps appear without them.
Regardless of the Assignment required setting, only assigned users see an application in My Apps. To let everyone use an app but show it only to some users, assign those users and set Assignment required to No.
When you configure SAML single sign-on for a gallery app, Microsoft Entra ID creates a self-signed signing certificate. How long is it valid by default?
A90 days
BOne year
CThree years
DTen years
Show the answer and why
A90 days
Incorrect
The default validity is much longer.
BOne year
Incorrect
The default validity is longer.
CThree years
Correct
The generated certificate is valid for three years, and the expiration can be customized.
DTen years
Incorrect
The default validity is shorter.
For a gallery app with SAML sign-on, Microsoft Entra ID generates a self-signed certificate valid for three years. You can customize the expiration and add email addresses for expiration notifications.
Contoso wants HR apps grouped on their own tab in the My Apps portal. What should you create, and what license does it need?
AA collection, which needs Microsoft Entra ID P1 or P2
BAn app role named HR on each app, with Microsoft Entra ID P2
CA dynamic group of HR apps, with Microsoft Entra ID P1
DAn administrative unit for HR apps, with Microsoft Entra ID Free
Show the answer and why
AA collection, which needs Microsoft Entra ID P1 or P2
Correct
Collections group related apps on a separate My Apps tab.
BAn app role named HR on each app, with Microsoft Entra ID P2
Incorrect
App roles grant permissions inside apps; they don't build My Apps tabs.
CA dynamic group of HR apps, with Microsoft Entra ID P1
Incorrect
Groups contain users and devices, not apps.
DAn administrative unit for HR apps, with Microsoft Entra ID Free
Incorrect
Administrative units scope admin roles; they don't organize My Apps.
Collections group related applications, for example by role or project, on a separate tab in My Apps. A collection filters the apps a user can already access, so users see only assigned apps in it. Creating collections needs Microsoft Entra ID P1 or P2.
An app already uses another identity provider for SSO. Contoso only wants a tile for it in My Apps that opens the app's URL, without Microsoft Entra ID performing the sign-in. Which single sign-on option fits?
ALinked sign-on
BSAML-based single sign-on
CPassword-based single sign-on
DOpenID Connect single sign-on
Show the answer and why
ALinked sign-on
Correct
Linked sign-on just points the tile to the app's URL and leaves sign-in to the app.
BSAML-based single sign-on
Incorrect
SAML makes Microsoft Entra ID the identity provider for the app.
CPassword-based single sign-on
Incorrect
Password SSO stores and fills credentials for the app.
DOpenID Connect single sign-on
Incorrect
OIDC makes Microsoft Entra ID issue tokens for the app.
Linked sign-on adds a link to an application in My Apps and the Microsoft 365 launcher, while the application keeps its existing sign-in, for example another identity provider. Microsoft Entra ID doesn't provide SSO for it.
