Deploying SharePoint Server Hybrid (legacy) — Question 34

You have a SharePoint Server farm that contains a Secure Store Service application and a Business Data Connectivity (BDC) service application. You have a site named Marketing that is used by all the users in the marketing department.
You have an OData service named Service1 that is used only by the users in the marketing department. Service1 requires authentication. The identity used to access Service1 is managed by Service1.
You need to ensure that users can create a list in SharePoint Server that accesses data from Service1.
What should you create first?

Answer options

• A. a target application that uses a Target Application Type of Group
• B. a target application that uses a Target Application Type of Individual
• C. a trusted identity provider that uses SAML
• D. a trusted identity provider that uses claims-based authentication

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Creating a target application with a Target Application Type of Group is necessary as it allows multiple users in the marketing department to access Service1 collectively. The other options focus on individual user access or different authentication methods, which do not align with the requirement to create a shared connection for the team.
