Single answerA company has adopted a hybrid IT environment where they use Active Directory (AD) on-premises and Entra ID (formerly Azure AD) for their cloud-based applications. One of the IT support technicians is tasked with ensuring users can log into both on-premises and cloud applications with a single set of credentials. Which feature should the technician implement?
- A
Federation Services
- B
Group Policy Objects (GPO)
- C
Single Sign-On (SSO)
- D
AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM)
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
Single Sign-On (SSO) is the appropriate solution for enabling users to access both on-premises and cloud-based systems with a single set of credentials. By implementing SSO, the technician can integrate the on-premises Active Directory with Entra ID, ensuring a seamless authentication experience for the users.
- A. Incorrect.
Federation Services is used for establishing trust between different identity providers but does not directly enable seamless credential usage between on-premises AD and Entra ID.
- B. Incorrect.
Group Policy Objects (GPO) are used in on-premises AD to manage settings for users and computers but do not facilitate cross-environment authentication.
- C. Correct.
Single Sign-On (SSO) allows users to access multiple systems and applications with one set of credentials, making it the correct solution for integrating on-premises AD and Entra ID.
- D. Incorrect.
AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) is used for managing access to AWS resources and is not relevant to integrating on-premises AD and Entra ID.
