Microsoft 365 Fundamentals — Question 13

Your organization plans to deploy Microsoft 365 in a hybrid scenario.
You need to ensure that employees can use a smart card for authentication.
Which hybrid identity solution should you implement?

Answer options

• A. password hash synchronization with single sign-on
• B. Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS)
• C. PingFederate and federation integration
• D. pass-through authentication and single sign-on

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS) is the correct choice because it supports smart card authentication, allowing secure access to Microsoft 365 resources. The other options, such as password hash synchronization or pass-through authentication, do not natively support smart card authentication.
