Overview of this book

From designing solutions on Azure to configuring and managing virtual networks, the AZ-303 certification validates your knowledge and skills for all this and much more. Whether you want to take the certification exam or gain hands-on experience in administering, developing, and architecting Azure solutions, this study guide will help you get started. Divided into four modules, this book systematically takes you through the wide range of concepts and features covered in the AZ-303 exam. The first module demonstrates how to implement and monitor infrastructure. You'll develop the skills required to deploy and manage core Azure components such as virtual machines, networking, storage, and Active Directory (AD). As you progress, you'll build on that knowledge and learn how to create resilient and secure applications before moving on to working with web apps, functions, and containers. The final module will get you up to speed with data platforms such as SQL and Cosmos DB, including how to configure the different high availability options. Finally, you'll solve mock tests and assess yourself with the answers provided to get ready to take the exam with confidence. By the end of this book, you'll have learned the concepts and techniques you need to know to prepare for the AZ-303 exam and design effective solutions on Microsoft Azure.

Configuring user accounts for MFA

Azure MFA is enabled in Azure AD at the user level. To enable MFA for a user account in Azure AD, take the following steps:

  1. Navigate to the Azure portal by opening https://portal.azure.com/.
  2. Go to All services in the left menu, then type Azure Active Directory, and open the Azure AD resource.
  3. In the Azure AD blade, under Manage, select Users.
  4. In the All users blade, select Multi-Factor Authentication in the top menu.
  5. You then will be redirected to the multi-factor authentication portal. There, select a user and click Enable at the right side of the screen:

  6. After clicking the link, you will receive the following warning:

    Figure 7.2 – MFA warning

  7. Click enable multi-factor auth to activate MFA for this user.

Now that we have enabled MFA for the user, we can look at how to configure the verification methods.
