A: Claims in access tokens
JWTs (JSON Web Tokens) are split into three pieces:
* Header - Provides information about how to validate the token including information about the type of token and how it was signed.
* Payload - Contains all of the important data about the user or app that is attempting to call your service.
* Signature - Is the raw material used to validate the token.
E: Your client can get an access token from either the v1.0 endpoint or the v2.0 endpoint using a variety of protocols.
Scenario: User authentication (see step 5 below)
The following steps detail the user authentication process:
1. The user selects Sign in in the website.
2. The browser redirects the user to the Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) sign in page.
3. The user signs in.
4. Azure AD redirects the user's session back to the web application. The URL includes an access token.
5. The web application calls an API and includes the access token in the authentication header. The application ID is sent as the audience ('aud') claim in the access token.
6. The back-end API validates the access token.

Case studies are not timed separately. You can use as much exam time as you would like to complete each case. However, there may be additional case studies and sections on this exam.
You must manage your time to ensure that you are able to complete all questions included on this exam in the time provided.
To answer the questions included in a case study, you will need to reference information that is provided in the case study. Case studies might contain exhibits and other resources that provide more information about the scenario that is described in the case study. Each question is independent of the other questions in this case study.
At the end of this case study, a review screen will appear. This screen allows you to review your answers and to make changes before you move to the next section of the exam. After you begin a new section, you cannot return to this section.

Background
You are a developer for Litware Inc., a SaaS company that provides a solution for managing employee expenses. The solution consists of an ASP.NET Core Web API project that is deployed as an Azure Web App.
Overall architecture
Employees upload receipts for the system to process. When processing is complete, the employee receives a summary report email that details the processing results. Employees then use a web application to manage their receipts and perform any additional tasks needed for reimbursement.
Receipt processing
Employees may upload receipts in two ways:
* Uploading using an Azure Files mounted folder
* Uploading using the web application
Data Storage
Receipt and employee information is stored in an Azure SQL database.
Documentation
Employees are provided with a getting started document when they first use the solution. The documentation includes details on supported operating systems for Azure File upload, and instructions on how to configure the mounted folder.
Solution details
Users table

Web Application
You enable MSI for the Web App and configure the Web App to use the security principal name WebAppIdentity.
Processing
Processing is performed by an Azure Function that uses version 2 of the Azure Function runtime. Once processing is completed, results are stored in Azure Blob Storage and an Azure SQL database. Then, an email summary is sent to the user with a link to the processing report. The link to the report must remain valid if the email is forwarded to another user.
Logging
Azure Application Insights is used for telemetry and logging in both the processor and the web application. The processor also has TraceWriter logging enabled. Application Insights must always contain all log messages.
Requirements
Receipt processing
Concurrent processing of a receipt must be prevented.
Disaster recovery
Regional outage must not impact application availability. All DR operations must not be dependent on application running and must ensure that data in the DR region is up to date.
Security
* User's SecurityPin must be stored in such a way that access to the database does not allow the viewing of SecurityPins. The web application is the only system that should have access to SecurityPins.
* All certificates and secrets used to secure data must be stored in Azure Key Vault.
* You must adhere to the principle of least privilege and provide privileges which are essential to perform the intended function.
* All access to Azure Storage and Azure SQL database must use the application's Managed Service Identity (MSI).
* Receipt data must always be encrypted at rest.
* All data must be protected in transit.
* User's expense account number must be visible only to logged in users. All other views of the expense account number should include only the last segment, with the remaining parts obscured.
* In the case of a security breach, access to all summary reports must be revoked without impacting other parts of the system.
Issues
Upload format issue
Employees occasionally report an issue with uploading a receipt using the web application. They report that when they upload a receipt using the Azure File Share, the receipt does not appear in their profile. When this occurs, they delete the file in the file share and use the web application, which returns a 500 Internal Server error page.
Capacity issue
During busy periods, employees report long delays between the time they upload the receipt and when it appears in the web application.
Log capacity issue
Developers report that the number of log messages in the trace output for the processor is too high, resulting in lost log messages.

Explanation:
Box 1: QueryType
The SearchParameters.QueryType Property gets or sets a value that specifies the syntax of the search query. The default is 'simple'. Use 'full' if your query uses the Lucene query syntax.
You can write queries against Azure Search based on the rich Lucene Query Parser syntax for specialized query forms: wildcard, fuzzy search, proximity search, regular expressions are a few examples.
Box 2: Facets
The facets property gets or sets the list of facet expressions to apply to the search query. Each facet expression contains a field name, optionally followed by a comma-separated list of name:value pairs.
Box 3: Filter
The Filter property gets or sets the OData $filter expression to apply to the search query.
