AZ-204 Certification Practice Question #131

Question

Your company is developing an Azure API.
You need to implement authentication for the Azure API. You have the following requirements:
All API calls must be secure.

✑ Callers to the API must not send credentials to the API.
Which authentication mechanism should you use?

Accepted Answer

To satisfy the requirement that all API calls are secure and callers do not transmit any credentials, Azure Managed Identity is the correct choice. Managed identities provide an automatic identity in Microsoft Entra ID for the Azure hosting service, enabling the API to securely authenticate to backend resources without embedding or passing credentials.
