1Z0-997-26 Security Practice Question
Your organization uses an external identity provider (IdP), such as Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD), to authenticate users. You need to map IdP group memberships to OCI IAM groups so that users inherit the correct permissions upon login. How is this integration achieved?
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
✓
Configure a Federation in OCI IAM using SAML 2.0, establish the IdP trust, and then create IdP Group Mappings to OCI IAM groups.
Federation in OCI is established by setting up an Identity Provider relationship using SAML 2.0 and configuring Identity Provider Groups mapped to OCI IAM groups.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Attach API signing keys to each federated user profile manually through the OCI Console.
Why it's wrong here
Manual API keys do not handle IdP federation or group mapping.
- ✗
Create dynamic groups in OCI with matching rules checking the user's corporate email domain string.
Why it's wrong here
Dynamic groups evaluate instance or resource principal attributes, not human federated user claims.
- ✓
Configure a Federation in OCI IAM using SAML 2.0, establish the IdP trust, and then create IdP Group Mappings to OCI IAM groups.
Why this is correct
SAML 2.0 federation links the external IdP, and IdP group mapping translates external group claims into OCI group memberships.
- ✗
Write a custom Python script running on compute instances that synchronizes user passwords from the IdP to OCI local users every hour.
Why it's wrong here
Syncing passwords via scripts violates identity management standards; federation handles authentication dynamically without syncing credentials.
