Reveal correct answer
Correct answer: C
A. PTA (Pass-Through Authentication) allows for authentication requests to be passed through to on-premises Active Directory for validation. It does not involve synchronization of credentials between AD and Microsoft Entra ID in both directions.
B. PTA does not provide a leak credential report. This feature is not related to the authentication process facilitated by PTA.
C. With PTA, AD security and password policies can be enforced, ensuring that authentication requests comply with the organization's security standards and policies.
D. User credentials are not stored in Microsoft Entra ID with PTA. Instead, authentication requests are forwarded to the on-premises Active Directory for validation, maintaining the security and control of user credentials within the organization's AD environment.
