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?

Answer options

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The solution meets the goal because configuring Client cert gateway credentials for the HTTP(s) endpoint ensures secure authentication between the API Management service and the back-end service. The alternative option, 'No', is incorrect as it does not recognize the effectiveness of using client certificates for authentication in this scenario.
