Authentication Protocols — Microsoft Azure Security Engineer (AZ-500) Practice Questions

Authentication protocols define the rules by which identity assertions are requested, issued, and validated between clients, identity providers, and resource servers in Azure environments. The AZ-500 exam covers SAML 2.0, OpenID Connect, OAuth 2.0, and legacy protocols such as WS-Federation and Kerberos, requiring candidates to understand when each is appropriate and how misconfigurations introduce risk. Security engineers must be able to compare protocol flows, identify weak or deprecated protocol usage in Azure AD, and configure Conditional Access to block legacy authentication.
