Microsoft Azure Security Engineer Associate AZ-500 Practice Question
You are securing an Azure SQL Database named SalesDB hosted on the logical server sqlprod01. You need to create Microsoft Entra ID contained database users in SalesDB and allow interactive sign-in with multifactor authentication. Before you can create the users, which prerequisite must be completed on sqlprod01?
Assign a Microsoft Entra administrator to the SQL server.
Add a server-level firewall rule that allows the public Internet.
Enable Azure AD-only authentication on the server.
Microsoft Entra (Azure AD) authentication cannot be enabled in a database until an Entra administrator has been assigned at the logical server or managed-instance level. The administrator account is used to establish the first token-based connection and to create or manage subsequent Entra principals inside the databases. Enabling Azure AD-only authentication is optional, because mixed (SQL and Entra) authentication is permitted. Database containment is already set to PARTIAL for every Azure SQL Database, so no additional work is required. Firewall rules control network access but have no bearing on the ability to create Entra principals.
