Question

You manage a SharePoint 2013 farm for Contoso, LTd that has been recently upgraded from SharePoint 2010. You have administrative permissions on all web and service applications.

Why each option

In a SharePoint 2013 farm upgraded from 2010, configuring the Secure Store Service application to support dependent services requires creating a new proxy using the New-SPSecureStoreServiceApplicationProxy cmdlet.

AUse the New-SPSecureStoreServiceApplicationProxy windows powershell cmdlet to create a new service application and to generate a new proxy.Correct

In an upgraded SharePoint 2013 farm, the existing Secure Store Service application may lack a properly configured service application proxy, which is required for other service applications such as Business Connectivity Services to communicate with it. The New-SPSecureStoreServiceApplicationProxy cmdlet creates the necessary proxy connection between the Secure Store Service application and the web applications that consume it, enabling target application credential retrieval to function correctly.

BIn Central Administration, on the Secure Store service application page, select the Generate New Key menu.

The Generate New Key option in Central Administration refreshes the encryption key used to protect Secure Store credentials in the database, and does not configure service application proxy connectivity.

CIn Central Administration, navigate to the Secure Store service application administration page. Use the New menu to create a target application.

Using the New menu on the Secure Store administration page creates a target application entry within an already-connected service application, but does not address the missing proxy configuration needed for service application connectivity in an upgraded farm.

DUse the New-SPSecureStoreServiceApplication window power shell cmdlet to create a new service application and generate a new proxy.

New-SPSecureStoreServiceApplication creates an entirely new Secure Store Service application instance rather than configuring a proxy for an existing one, which is unnecessary when the service application already exists post-upgrade.
