I heard Azure API Gateways come with their own built-in security features. Why not just let Microsoft handle all that for us? It'll be like letting the pros take care of the heavy lifting.

Implementing Salesforce Shield and encryption at rest? That's overkill, my dude. This is an Azure API Gateway, not Fort Knox.

Hold up, what about using an external identity provider? That could be a really elegant solution, especially if we already have some kind of federated access set up.

Hmm, I'm not sure about that. Shouldn't we be looking at mutual server authentication with SSL certificates? That's the classic security mechanism for this kind of integration.

Option B seems like the way to go here. Configuring a connected app with OAuth settings is a robust and secure way to integrate with the Azure API Gateway.

I'm not sure about option A, I think option B could also be a good choice as it involves configuring OAuth settings for authorization.
