Microsoft Azure Security Technologies — Question 114

You have an Azure subscription that contains an Azure Files share named share1 and a user named User1. Identity-based authentication is configured for share1.
User1 attempts to access share1 from a Windows 10 device by using SMB.
Which type of token will Azure Files use to authorize the request?

Answer options

• A. OAuth 2.0
• B. JSON Web Token (JWT)
• C. SAML
• D. Kerberos

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Azure Files utilizes Kerberos tokens for authentication when identity-based authentication is configured, especially in Windows environments. OAuth 2.0, JSON Web Tokens, and SAML are not applicable in this context for Azure Files with SMB access, as they are designed for different scenarios or services.
