Microsoft Security, Compliance, and Identity Fundamentals SC-900 Practice Question
In a federation-based sign-in scenario, which component is responsible for authenticating the user and issuing the security token that the cloud SaaS application ultimately trusts?
An identity provider (IdP) carries out the user authentication process and, once successful, issues a security token that contains claims about the user's identity. The SaaS application (also called the service provider or relying party) does not authenticate the user directly; instead, it validates the token that the IdP supplies. Certificate authorities only issue and manage certificates, and claim rules or relying party objects do not perform authentication by themselves.
