I have followed the following for How to reference Key Vault connection strings from an Azure App Service.
https://davecallan.com/how-to-reference-key-vault-connection-strings-from-an-azure-app-
service/
The connection string has a name of "sqlconnection" in the App Service Configuration. I then deleted this entry from the Configuration Json file and restarted the Web app.
I then try to connect but it gives a database error with no details.
Any ideas on this ?
I tried to reproduce the same in my environment like below:
I created a key vault with Azure role-based access control (RBAC) like below:
Make sure to add Key Vault Administrator role in Access control like below:
Generate a key vault secret under setting. While generating secret of type as Manual name and set the value to the current SQL Database connection string stored in the Application web.config
Try to use Secret value connection string of your sql database like below:
Then you can able to see Secret Identifier like below:
In your web app -> under setting click configuration -> click new connection string
Type the name of the connection string and set the value #Microsoft.KeyVault(SecretUri=VALUE), where the VALUE
In Identity under setting -> make sure to add system assigned status as on like below:
Click on the "Role Assignments" button and then Add keyvault secrets user role like below:
As you are facing database error with no details you can check the Log4net errors under Portals_default\Logs.

I have a virtual network, with a key vault and a function app (both have been linked via private endpoints and the function app has outbound traffic VNet integration set up).
We are using RBAC for access to the Key Vault and the Function has a role assignment that grants Get and List access to the Secrets in the key vault.
The function is part of a premium app service plan (EP1).
The functions storage account is also set up as part of the VNET
The function has WEBSITE_CONTENTAZUREFILECONNECTIONSTRING, WEBSITE_CONTENTOVERVNET and WEBSITE_CONTENTSHARE app settings defined as I believe to be required by documentation ( https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-functions/functions-app-settings )
Example Key Vault Reference:
#Microsoft.KeyVault(SecretUri=https://mykeyvault.vault.azure.net/secrets/StorageAccountConnectionString/)
The function has some settings set up as key vault references and at runtime they resolve just fine. However in the Azure Portal under the configuration tab for the function app I get the following error at the top.
Error: Could not access key vault reference metadata
and there's no reference to any settings being a key vault reference under the source column. For what it's worth the configuration seems to take a while to actually load so I'm wondering if anything is timing out in the background (i.e. the portal can't resolve the key vault, but the actual function can).
So the question is, can I just ignore this error? Is it anything to worry about and finally is there anything I'm doing wrong?
I have created a simple SSIS project and in this project, I have a package that will delete a particular file in Downloads folder.
I deployed this project to Azure. And when I am trying to execute this package using Azure Data Factory then the pipeline fails with an empty error (I am attaching the screenshot here).
enter image description here
What I have done to fix this error is:
I have added self-hosted IR to Azure-SSIS IR as the proxy to access the data on-premise.
Set the ConnectByProxy as True.
Converted the project to Project Deployment Model.
Please help me out to fix this error and if you need more details then just leave a comment.
Windows Authentication :
To access data stores such as SQL servers/file shares on-premises or Azure Files, check the Windows authentication check box.
If this check box is selected, fill in the Domain, Username, and Password fields with the values for your package execution credentials. The domain is Azure, the username is storage account name>, and the password is storage account key> to access Azure Files, for example.
Using the secrets stored in your Azure Key Vault
As a substitute, you can leverage secrets from your Azure Key Vault as values. Select the AZURE KEY VAULT check box next to them to do so. Create a new key vault connected service or choose or update an existing one. Then choose your value's secret name and version. You can pick or update an existing key vault or create a new one when creating or editing your key vault connected service. If you haven't previously done so, allow Data Factory managed identity access to your key vault. You may also directly input your secret in the format key vault linked service name>/secret name>/secret version>.
Note : If you are using Windows Authentication, there are four methods to
access data stores with Windows authentication from SSIS packages
running on your Azure-SSIS IR: Access data stores and file shares with
Windows authentication from SSIS packages in Azure | Docs
Make Sure it Falls under one of such methods, else it could potentially fail at the Run Time.
I'm trying to set up a new app slot for my azure website.
Here is my error:
I've looked at a few articles online and then made sure the app slot was using System assigned identities.
But I still get the above error?
What am I missing?
Here is what it looks like on the Configuration section
Make sure you have done the steps below, then it should work.
1.After enabling the system-assigned identity(MSI) of your slot, navigate to your keyvault in the portal -> Access policies -> add the MSI of your slot to the access policy with the correct secret permission, just search for your web app name, the MSI of the slot has the format as webappname/slots/slotname, details here.
2.If you use the SecretUri, the format of the connection string in your slot should be like below, double-check it.
#Microsoft.KeyVault(SecretUri=https://joykeyvault123.vault.azure.net/secrets/encryptionKey/492c7788a9da421c8b9752ef18b53f5d)
You could get the SecretUri in your secret in the portal.
It works fine on my side.
I have successfully setup a Linked Service in Azure Data Factory that uses a Key Vault for the connection string which includes the user/pwd and connects to the Azure SQL DB as desired. However, I can only do this when I use the "admin" account. The string below works.
Server=tcp:database1.database.windows.net,1433;Initial Catalog=DB;Persist Security Info=False;User ID=Admin;Password=Pa$$w0rd;MultipleActiveResultSets=False;Encrypt=True;TrustServerCertificate=False;Connection Timeout=30;
I created a new login/user and granted the necessary permissions. I know because I can connect using the new login via remote SSMS or by adding the credentials directly in the linked service in Azure. (e.g. hard coding the user/pwd in the connection string in the linked service)
Unfortunately, when I switch to using the key vault connection string, I get the generic SQLErrorNumber 18456 for the newly created user. I know the credentials are correct, I know I can connect via the Key Vault (when using the elevated admin account), I just cannot use the Key Vault connection string when using the new user.
Server=tcp:database1.database.windows.net,1433;Initial Catalog=DB;Persist Security Info=False;User ID=Username;Password=Pa$$w0rd;MultipleActiveResultSets=False;Encrypt=True;TrustServerCertificate=False;Connection Timeout=30;
If using Azure SQL with Data Factory look at using Managed Service Identity That way you'd add the name of the Data Factory directly to the SQL DB and no need for a username and password. Plus can assign permissions directly on the user.
Only downside is if DataFactory get's wiped out and redeployed the user will need to be dropped and recreated since it is using a thumbprint to recognize the Identity, this isn't the case with all resources and MSI auth.
For your specific case check to make sure the SQL server is allowing Azure Services and resource to Access the sever by going to "Firewalls and virtual networks" and make sure it is turned on:
I was trying to get the connection string from the azure key vault for azure functions. These are the steps I did,
Created a managed identity(System assigned) in the azure functions
Create a secret in an azure key vault
Add access policies to give permission to the azure function app
Added an entry in the app settings for connection string where the value was #Microsoft.KeyVault(SecretUri=SECRETURLOFKEYVAULT)
But when I run the azure function I am getting below error,
"Keyword not supported: #microsoft.keyvault(secreturi....."
This is how I have enabled managed identity,
And my access policy looks like below,
Any help would be much appreciated
I ran into a similar problem by following the tutorial. My remedy was a restart of the function app. Saving of the app setting was not enough for the Function App to start using the Key Vault secret provider correctly.
According to the steps you provided, it have no problem to work well. Here is the tutorial about get key vault secrets in Azure Function you could refer to.
Note: Add access policies to the azure function app with the Get permission on secrets and that was enough.
Also, here is a similar issue that get same error like you which is due to IP Address restriction blocking it.
This issue occurred while testing on local. It was resolved after doing an az login.
