Episode 144 — Troubleshooting Security — Authentication and Authorization Failures

This episode focuses on diagnosing and resolving issues with authentication and authorization systems. Authentication failures can stem from incorrect credentials, expired certificates, or mismatched authentication methods. Authorization failures occur when valid users are denied access due to misconfigured policies, roles, or conditional access settings.

We also highlight how to trace authentication flows, check token validity, and audit policy enforcement points. On the Cloud+ exam, understanding how to pinpoint and fix these failures demonstrates competence in securing user and system access.
