A digital media corporation is migrating its workflows to a multi-account environment managed by AWS Organizations. The company utilizes Microsoft Entra ID as its central identity provider. The security team requires that access to the AWS Management Console be authenticated against Entra ID, and that group memberships in Entra ID automatically determine the AWS permissions granted to users without manually creating IAM users in individual accounts. The solution must minimize operational overhead. Which two actions should a solutions architect take to meet these requirements? (Select two.)
- Enable AWS IAM Identity Center in the organization's management account and configure an external identity provider using SAML 2.0 federation.Cevap
- Configure automatic provisioning using the System for Cross-domain Identity Management (SCIM) v2.0 protocol between Microsoft Entra ID and AWS IAM Identity Center.Cevap
- CDeploy an AD Connector in a transit VPC to bridge Microsoft Entra ID, then configure AWS IAM Identity Center to query user groups via LDAP.
- DCreate a custom SAML 2.0 identity provider in the IAM console of each AWS account, and write a synchronization script to replicate users into local IAM groups.
- EEstablish an AWS Managed Microsoft AD domain and configure a two-way active directory forest trust directly to the Microsoft Entra ID tenant.
Cevap
The correct actions are enabling AWS IAM Identity Center with SAML 2.0 federation to an external identity provider, and configuring automatic provisioning via the System for Cross-domain Identity Management (SCIM) v2.0 protocol.
AWS IAM Identity Center simplifies multi-account access management by allowing centralized single sign-on. By configuring Microsoft Entra ID as an external SAML 2.0 identity provider, users can authenticate using their existing credentials. Using SCIM v2.0 automates the provisioning of users and groups from Microsoft Entra ID to AWS IAM Identity Center, mapping Entra ID groups directly to permission sets in AWS without manual intervention.
