}Refer to the exhibit. You are deploying a Power Pages site using an ARM template. After deployment, you find that the portal uses local authentication, but you need it to use Microsoft Entra ID. What is the most likely reason the authentication provider is not set correctly?
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
The 'authentication' property should be 'identityProviders' with the correct configuration.
The exhibit shows an ARM template with the 'authentication' property set to 'Local'. However, the correct property for configuring identity providers in ARM templates for Power Pages is 'identityProviders', not 'authentication'. Additionally, the API version '2022-03-01-preview' may not support the full configuration. The most likely reason is that the template uses an incorrect property name. Option A is incorrect because local authentication is not the only option. Option C is incorrect because the portal URL does not affect authentication. Option D is incorrect because the location is not relevant.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
The portal URL must be changed to use Microsoft Entra ID.
Why it's wrong here
The portal URL is independent of the authentication provider.
- ✓
The 'authentication' property should be 'identityProviders' with the correct configuration.
Why this is correct
The correct property for configuring authentication providers in ARM is 'identityProviders'.
- ✗
The portal location must be in a region that supports Microsoft Entra ID.
Why it's wrong here
Microsoft Entra ID is available globally; location does not affect authentication provider support.
- ✗
The portal only supports local authentication when deployed via ARM.
Why it's wrong here
Power Pages supports multiple authentication providers, including Microsoft Entra ID, via ARM.
