General network connectivity outside the identity path is already verified. Which action best satisfies the requirement?

1. Inspect token audience, issuer, scopes/roles, and expiration before changing the application.
2. Use a phishing-resistant authentication method such as passkeys/FIDO2, Windows Hello for Business, or certificate-based authentication as appropriate.
3. Pilot the authentication-method policy with a scoped group and preserve tested emergency access before broad enforcement.
4. Issue a Temporary Access Pass to bootstrap registration of the user’s permanent strong authentication method.
5. Use a controlled bootstrap method such as Temporary Access Pass so users can register a strong authentication method.

Question 18

Testing of an MFA enforcement design is successful except for this condition: the distinction between method availability and MFA enforcement. Existing working access outside the stated scope must remain unchanged. Choose TWO actions that together implement and verify the requirement.

1. Align the Authentication methods policy so the selected methods satisfy both MFA and SSPR requirements where supported.
2. Verify registration state and the resulting sign-in or authentication-method evidence for a pilot user.
3. Choose the Windows Hello for Business trust model that matches the organization’s hybrid and certificate requirements.

In this scenario, however, the decisive requirement is audit versus enforce mode for rollout, so it would solve a neighboring identity problem rather than the one described.

Answer B is incorrect because This action is appropriate when the requirement is synchronized identity and domain prerequisites. In this scenario, however, the decisive requirement is audit versus enforce mode for rollout, so it would solve a neighboring identity problem rather than the one described.

Answer D is incorrect because This action is appropriate when the requirement is certificate mapping and authentication strength. In this scenario, however, the decisive requirement is audit versus enforce mode for rollout, so it would solve a neighboring identity problem rather than the one described.

Answer E is incorrect because This action is appropriate when the requirement is password accepted because enforcement path differs. In this scenario, however, the decisive requirement is audit versus enforce mode for rollout, so it would solve a neighboring identity problem rather than the one described.

 

Question 36

The team is validating a password accepted by an on-premises domain controller. The decisive requirement is: password accepted because enforcement path differs. The tenant has the licensing required for the named capability. Choose TWO actions that together implement and verify the requirement.

1. Identify whether the password change occurred in cloud or on-premises AD DS and verify the corresponding enforcement path.
2. Provide a verified recovery path that re-establishes a strong method without bypassing identity proofing.
3. Validate the certificate trust chain, issuer configuration, mapping, and revocation reachability.
4. Verify registration state and the resulting sign-in or authentication-method evidence for a pilot user.
5. Configure Microsoft Entra Kerberos and maintain the associated server/key lifecycle according to Microsoft guidance.
6. Configure Microsoft Entra Kerberos for the supported hybrid resource scenario.

Correct Answers: A, D

 

Correct Answers

Answer A is correct because This action directly implements password accepted because enforcement path differs. It addresses the requirement at the correct Microsoft Entra control layer without broadening unrelated privilege or changing an adjacent identity function.

Answer D is correct because This verification step confirms that the selected control actually changes effective behavior for the targeted pilot and exposes policy, assignment, or propagation problems before wider rollout.

Incorrect Answers

Answer B is incorrect because This action is appropriate when the requirement is recovery for lost authentication device. In this scenario, however, the decisive requirement is password accepted because enforcement path differs, so it would solve a neighboring identity problem rather than the one described.

Answer C is incorrect because This action is appropriate when the requirement is certificate trust or revocation validation failure. In this scenario, however, the decisive requirement is password accepted because enforcement path differs, so it would solve a neighboring identity problem rather than the one described.

Answer E is incorrect because This action is appropriate when the requirement is kerberos configuration and key maintenance. In this scenario, however, the decisive requirement is password accepted because enforcement path differs, so it would solve a neighboring identity problem rather than the one described.

Answer F is incorrect because This action is appropriate when the requirement is entra Kerberos for stated hybrid resource access. In this scenario, however, the decisive requirement is password accepted because enforcement path differs, so it would solve a neighboring identity problem rather than the one described.

 

Question 37

The identity architect is reviewing Microsoft Entra Kerberos access to a hybrid resource. The required outcome is: Microsoft Entra Kerberos for the stated hybrid resource access. The administrator must verify the effective result from Microsoft Entra evidence. Which action best satisfies the requirement?

1. Issue a Temporary Access Pass to bootstrap registration of the user’s permanent strong authentication method.
2. Configure Microsoft Entra Kerberos for the supported hybrid resource scenario.
3. Pilot the authentication-method policy with a scoped group and preserve tested emergency access before broad enforcement.
4. Validate the synchronized identity, domain, device, and service prerequisites before enabling Microsoft Entra Kerberos access.
5. Separate Kerberos ticket acquisition from authorization on the target resource and inspect both.

Correct Answer: B

In this scenario, however, the decisive requirement is entra Kerberos for stated hybrid resource access, so it would solve a neighboring identity problem rather than the one described.

 

Question 38

Testing of a Microsoft Entra Kerberos deployment is successful except for this condition: synchronized identity and domain prerequisites. The organization requires a supported Microsoft-managed control. Which action best satisfies the requirement?

1. Set the Temporary Access Pass lifetime and one-time or reusable behavior to match the enrollment window.
2. Use a phishing-resistant authentication method such as passkeys/FIDO2, Windows Hello for Business, or certificate-based authentication as appropriate.
3. Configure Microsoft Entra Kerberos and maintain the associated server/key lifecycle according to Microsoft guidance.
4. Use Microsoft Entra certificate-based authentication when the organization must reuse its supported PKI credentials.
5. Validate the synchronized identity, domain, device, and service prerequisites before enabling Microsoft Entra Kerberos access.

Correct Answer: E
