AZ-204 Certification Practice Question #22

Question

Note: The question is included in a number of questions that depicts the identical set-up. However, every question has a distinctive result. Establish if the solution satisfies the requirements.
You are developing a solution for a public facing API.
The API back end is hosted in an Azure App Service instance. You have implemented a RESTful service for the API back end.
You must configure back-end authentication for the API Management service instance.
Solution: You configure Client cert gateway credentials for the HTTP(s) endpoint.
Does the solution meet the goal?

Accepted Answer

Azure API Management allows you to authenticate with backend services (such as an Azure App Service instance) using client certificates (mutual TLS). To configure this in the Azure Portal, you navigate to the API's Backend settings, select the HTTP(s) endpoint target, and set "Gateway credentials" to "Client cert" after uploading the desired certificate to the API Management instance. This ensures the APIM gateway presents the certificate to authenticate against the App Service backend, meeting the requirement.
