Just in time (JIT) VM access for VM1, VM2, and VM3 must be enabled. App1 must use a secure connection string stored in KeyVault1. KeyVault1 traffic must NOT travel over the internet. You need to meet the technical requirements for the finance department users. Which CAPolicy1 settings should you modify?

Options

• ACloud apps or actions
• BConditions
• CGrant
• DSession

Explanation

Explanation

Option D (Session) is correct because the requirement to force reauthentication after three hours for SharePoint Online is controlled through the Session settings in a Conditional Access policy, specifically using the Sign-in frequency control, which allows administrators to define how often users must re-authenticate when accessing specific cloud apps.

Option A (Cloud apps or actions) is wrong because this setting only determines which applications the policy applies to (e.g., SharePoint Online) - it doesn't control authentication behavior or session duration.

Option B (Conditions) is wrong because Conditions define who or what triggers the policy (e.g., user risk, device platform, location), not what happens during an active session in terms of reauthentication timing.

Option C (Grant) is wrong because Grant controls access decisions such as requiring MFA or a compliant device before granting access - it does not manage how long a session remains valid before requiring reauthentication.

🧠 Memory Tip

Think of it this way: "Session = how long you stay logged in." If the requirement mentions time limits or reauthentication frequency, always look to Session controls in Conditional Access - the Sign-in frequency setting lives there and is the go-to tool for time-based authentication requirements.
