Which steps are involved in setting up single sign-on (SSO) for users?

1. Configuring Mail Flow and Email Sign-in

2. Integrating Azure AD with on-premises AD

3. Deploying secure certificates and configuring DNS

4. Configure applications using Azure AD and obtain tokens

The correct answer is: Configure applications using Azure AD and obtain tokens

Setting up single sign-on (SSO) for users is primarily centered around enabling applications to authenticate users through Azure Active Directory (Azure AD), which allows for a seamless sign-in experience across various applications. When you configure applications using Azure AD and obtain tokens, you are establishing a mechanism where the application can verify user identities without prompting users for credentials multiple times. This process often involves the following key elements: 1. **Application Registration**: Applications need to be registered in Azure AD to take advantage of the SSO capabilities. This registration allows Azure AD to manage authentication for these applications. 2. **Authentication Protocols**: Implementing standards like OAuth 2.0 or OpenID Connect ensures that when users log in, they receive secure tokens from Azure AD that the applications can use to validate user identities without constantly requesting user credentials. 3. **User Experience**: With SSO configured, users can use their Azure AD accounts to access multiple applications without needing to log in separately to each, simplifying access and improving productivity. The other choices relate to aspects that may be part of a broader identity infrastructure or configuration but do not specifically address the fundamental process of establishing SSO. Integrating Azure AD with on-premises AD, for example, focuses more on
