Microsoft Azure Security Technologies — Question 17

You have an Azure subscription that is linked to an Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) tenant.
From the Azure portal, you register an enterprise application.
Which additional resource will be created in Azure AD?

Answer options

• A. a service principal
• B. an X.509 certificate
• C. a managed identity
• D. a user account

Correct answer: A

Explanation

When you register an enterprise application in Azure, a service principal is automatically created in Azure AD, which allows the application to authenticate and interact with Azure resources. The other options, such as an X.509 certificate or a managed identity, are not created by simply registering an enterprise application, and a user account is unrelated to the application registration process.
