I think OpenID Connect is the way to go for Azure AD.

I recall that header-based authentication is less common for SSO, so I’m leaning towards either OpenID Connect or SAML for this scenario.

I’m a bit confused; I thought password-based SSO was a thing, but it seems outdated compared to the other options.

I practiced a similar question about SSO, and I feel like SAML might be the right answer since it's often used for enterprise applications.

I remember studying SSO methods, and I think OpenID Connect is commonly used with Azure AD, but I'm not entirely sure if it's the best choice here.

Okay, let's see. The key seems to be ensuring the product is both online and searchable. I'll need to double-check the details on that.

Okay, let me think this through. The question is asking about a criterion that includes those market-related factors. I'm leaning towards "substantialness" as the best answer, but I'll double-check my understanding.

Allocating adequate resources is crucial, so that's a strong contender. But I wonder if there are other ways leadership can demonstrate commitment beyond just funding.

I think this is a scalability test question. That's the one that checks how the application handles increased user loads and data volumes, right?

I'm a bit confused on this one. The resource types seem a bit mixed, and I'm not sure how Azure Backup handles each of them. I'll need to do some research to make sure I understand the capabilities before answering.

SAML seems like the obvious choice here. It's a mature standard and Azure AD supports it out of the box.
