Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Configure an Identity Provider (IdP) in OCI IAM by importing the SAML 2.0 metadata from the external IdP.
Why this is correct
Establishing the SAML 2.0 Identity Provider record in OCI IAM using metadata is the mandatory first step for federation.
- ✗
Provision local user accounts in OCI IAM for every partner employee.
Why it's wrong here
Federation eliminates the need to provision local user accounts for external identity providers.
- ✗
Write a tenancy-wide policy allowing all external users to manage tenancy resources.
Why it's wrong here
Writing a policy before configuring the IdP and mapping groups will not authenticate or authorize any users.
- ✗
Create an API signing key pair for each partner user in OCI IAM.
Why it's wrong here
API keys are for programmatic access, not for interactive federated single sign-on.
