A company uses Microsoft Entra ID (Microsoft Entra ID) Premium P2. They need to automatically detect users whose credentials have been leaked and require them to reset their password at their next sign-in. Additionally, they want to block sign-ins from anonymous IP addresses (e.g., Tor network). Which combination of Microsoft Entra ID features should they enable to meet both requirements?

Answer choices

Why each option matters

Good practice is not just finding the correct option. The wrong answers often show the exact trap the exam wants you to fall into.

A

Distractor review

Conditional Access with MFA policy and Identity Protection sign-in risk policy

Conditional Access can require MFA based on risk, but the requirement is to force a password reset, not just MFA. Identity Protection user risk policy is needed for that.

B

Best answer

Identity Protection user risk policy and sign-in risk policy

Identity Protection user risk policy can detect leaked credentials and force password change on sign-in. The sign-in risk policy can block sign-ins from anonymous IP addresses, meeting both requirements.

C

Distractor review

Privileged Identity Management and Conditional Access

Privileged Identity Management manages just-in-time privileged access and does not address leaked credentials or anonymous IP blocking for all users.

D

Distractor review

Microsoft Entra ID Connect Health and Identity Protection

Microsoft Entra ID Connect Health monitors the health of hybrid identity infrastructure and does not provide risk-based policies for password resets or blocking anonymous IPs.

Common exam trap

Common exam trap: authentication is not authorization

Logging in proves the user can authenticate. It does not automatically mean the user is allowed to enter privileged or configuration mode. Watch for AAA authorization, privilege level and command authorization details.

Technical deep dive

How to think about this question

This kind of question is testing the difference between identity and permission. A user may successfully log in to a router because authentication is working, but still fail to enter configuration mode because authorization is missing, misconfigured or mapped to a lower privilege level.

KKey Concepts to Remember

  • Authentication checks who the user is.
  • Authorization controls what the user is allowed to do after login.
  • Privilege levels affect access to EXEC and configuration commands.
  • AAA, TACACS+ and RADIUS can separate login success from command access.

TExam Day Tips

  • Do not assume successful login means full administrative access.
  • Look for words such as cannot enter configuration mode, privilege level, authorization or command access.
  • Separate login problems from permission problems before choosing the answer.

FAQ

Questions learners often ask

What does this AZ-305 question test?

Authentication checks who the user is.

What is the correct answer to this question?

The correct answer is: Identity Protection user risk policy and sign-in risk policy — Identity Protection provides user risk policies (detect leaked credentials and require password change) and sign-in risk policies (block or allow MFA based on sign-in risk). Conditional Access can reference sign-in risk but does not directly trigger password resets. Privileged Identity Management is for privileged roles. Microsoft Entra ID Connect Health is for hybrid health monitoring.
