Q16 RBAC Domain 4 · 20–25% of exam Priority · Real Exam

Which endpoint does a managed identity use to obtain a token from inside an Azure resource?

  1. A login.microsoftonline.com directly with a secret
  2. B The Instance Metadata Service / IDENTITY_ENDPOINT local endpoint (correct answer)
  3. C An on-premises STS
  4. D graph.microsoft.com

Shortcut: The platform exposes a local token endpoint reachable only from within the resource. The SDK calls it, and Azure attests the identity without any client secret.
