Solution:
Step 1: Understand identity propagation
User identity and permissions must be securely passed to each service to enforce access control.Step 2: Use JWT tokens for secure propagation
JWT tokens carry signed user info and permissions, which each service validates to maintain security across calls.Final Answer:
By passing JWT tokens with each request and validating them in every service -> Option DQuick Check:
JWT tokens propagate identity securely = D [OK]
Quick Trick: Use JWT tokens to carry identity across services [OK]
