SC-500 sample questions

2 questions from the SC-500 practice set, with the answer and explanation.

  1. Question 1
    An Azure App Service app must read secrets from Azure Key Vault, and the team wants no client secret or password stored in app settings or code. Which identity should the app use?
    • A.
      A system-assigned managed identity with the Key Vault Secrets User role
    • B.
      A client secret for an app registration stored in the app settings
    • C.
      A shared service account with its password in a server config file
    • D.
      An app registration with a certificate placed on the app's file system
    Show answer

    Correct answer:

    • A.
      A system-assigned managed identity with the Key Vault Secrets User role

    Explanation

    A system-assigned managed identity lets Microsoft Entra ID issue tokens to the app, so no credential has to be created or stored, and the Key Vault Secrets User role limits it to reading secret values. A client secret in app settings is still a stored credential that needs rotation, which makes it the tempting but weaker choice. A certificate on the file system is still a stored credential that must be renewed and protected.
  2. Question 2
    Each Azure Key Vault uses one permission model, either Azure RBAC or vault access policies, and that setting governs all data-plane access to the vault.
    • A.
      True
    • B.
      False
    Show answer

    Correct answer:

    • A.
      True

    Explanation

    Every vault has a permission model setting that selects Azure RBAC or vault access policies, and that choice applies to all secret, key, and certificate access on the vault. Teams planning a migration switch the setting deliberately and then recheck role assignments or access policies. Assuming both models work side by side is a common cause of unexpected access denials.
