Microsoft Security, Compliance, and Identity Fundamentals SC-900 Practice Question
Contoso has an on-premises Active Directory and a Microsoft 365 tenant. The IT team wants users to keep the same passwords in the cloud but does not want to deploy any additional sign-in servers on-premises. Which hybrid identity method meets the requirement?
Pass-through authentication
Password hash synchronization
Federation with Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS)
Creating cloud-only user accounts in Microsoft Entra ID
Password hash synchronization copies a cryptographic hash of each user's on-premises Active Directory password to Microsoft Entra ID through Azure AD Connect. Because authentication is then handled entirely in the cloud, no extra on-premises federation or pass-through agents are required, satisfying the constraint to avoid additional sign-in servers. Pass-through authentication and AD FS federation both need at least one on-premises agent or federation server, while creating cloud-only accounts would force users to manage separate passwords.
