I am trying to integrate my Azure function to event hub and for that I need connection string. It works fine if I put the connection string directly into my application settings. However, I would like to keep my secrets in key vault and just use reference.
When I change the secret to reference I can see that the KV reference is fine and there is small green mark on top of it. However, when I go and look into function integrations it is completely broken and missing the integration. Also I cannot change to that application setting where my connection string is referenced in KV.
Is there any way to get the event hub integration working while referencing secrets from key vault?
Please check if you have followed to create an azure event hub triggered function with the environment variable and connection string .
Some app settings are to be made related to key vault.
Create a system-assigned Managed Identity of your Function.
(Function - > Identity -> Enable System-Assigned Managed Identity)
Assign this Managed Identity GET access to your Key Vault in the
Access Policies.
Create a key vault identity - Use Key Vault references - Azure App
Service | Microsoft Docs
Create another app settings which are similar to above app settings
which refer the key vault secrets as reference.
A Key Vault reference is of the form
#Microsoft.KeyVault({referenceString}), where {reference String} can
be vault name or vault uri -Use Key Vault reference
Or check the bindings of event hub trigger in functions.json file Azure function with Event hub trigger

I am using Azure Web App service. Currently, I am storing the plain connection string to the database, Azure storage in the Application Settings section in the configuration tab of the Web App Service.
Instead of storing the plain connection string in configuration. How can I store the connection string in Azure Vault, then reference it in the Application setting so that the plain connection string are not stored in the configuration settings?
There are two ways to reference Key Vault in Azure Web Apps. You can do a complete reference:
#Microsoft.KeyVault(SecretUri=https://myvault.vault.azure.net/secrets/mysecret/)
Or you can use the alterative:
#Microsoft.KeyVault(VaultName=myvault;SecretName=mysecret)
In order to read secrets from Key Vault, you need to have a vault created and give your app permission to access it.
Create a key vault by following the Key Vault quickstart.
Create a managed identity for your application.
Key Vault references will use the app's system assigned identity by default, but you can specify a user-assigned identity.
Create an access policy in Key Vault for the application identity you created earlier. Enable the "Get" secret permission on this policy. Do not configure the "authorized application" or applicationId settings, as this is not compatible with a managed identity.

I am looking to deploy Azure function by using Terraform, in the same way which is mentioned here in the Ms docs.

One of my need to store and Storage SAS key to Key Vault. I have seen some exmaple where we can below setting is used, but I can't use sas key without storing to Key Vault.
WEBSITE_RUN_FROM_ZIP = "https://${azurerm_storage_account.this.name}.blob.core.windows.net/${azurerm_storage_container.this.name}/${azurerm_storage_blob.this.name}${data.azurerm_storage_account_sas.this.sas}"
Any suggestion?
Thank you !
For this requirement, you can use the Key Vault reference to get the secrets to the Azure Function like this:
#Microsoft.KeyVault(SecretUri=https://myvault.vault.azure.net/secrets/mysecret/ec96f02080254f109c51a1f14cdb1931)
Or
#Microsoft.KeyVault(VaultName=myvault;SecretName=mysecret;SecretVersion=ec96f02080254f109c51a1f14cdb1931)
But this means only support system-assigned managed identities. So you need to enable the system-assigned managed identity and assign the right role of the Key Vault to it. Here is more details.
I am trying to fetch secret values from azure key vault in Azure App Service.
My App Service has a managed identity
In the Azure Key vault, this managed identity is added under 'Role assignments' as 'Key vault contributor'
Also access policies has been added in azure key vault to give 'Get' permission to the AppServices's managed identity
Now in my c# code, I am trying to get the value of the AppSetting element using the code
ConfigurationManager.AppSettings['something'];
In my azure app service, under app settings, I have added the a key with name 'something' and it has the value pointing to the reference of the Key Vault as below:
#Microsoft.KeyVault(SecretUri=https://myvault.vault.azure.net/secrets/mysecret/ec96f02080254f109c51a1f14cdb1931)
Now I am able to retrieve the value from the appsettings, but instead of the actual value, it is pulling the output as #Microsoft.KeyVault(SecretUri=https://myvault.vault.azure.net/secrets/mysecret/c96f02080254f109c51a1f1cdb1931)
I am expecting the output to be value that I have set, not the keyvault reference string itself.
I am using .Net MVC 4.7 web app
As junnas said, you just add webapp's MSI in key vault Access policy.
1.Turn on webapp System-assign managed identity.
2.Add the identity into keyvault Access policy with secret Get permission.
3.Add the reference of the Key Vault into webapp Application settings.
4.Use Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("AppsettingName"); to get the secret vaule.
Here is the output:
Actually i figured out that even using ConfiguraionManager.AppSettings["keyname"] also works fine. In my case, i had done everything as listed above , but had enabled "Slot Deployment" option in Connection string configuration in App Service. Once i enabled, now i am able to access my key vault secrets.
I am following directions here for learning the AzureKeyVault config settings
Key Vault Configuration Provider sample application (ASP.NET Core 2.x)
This sample illustrates the use of the Azure Key Vault Configuration
Provider for ASP.NET Core 2.x. For the ASP.NET Core 1.x sample, see
Key Vault Configuration Provider sample application (ASP.NET Core
1.x).
For more information on how the sample works, see the Azure Key Vault
configuration provider topic.
Using the sample
Create a key vault and set up Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) for the application following the guidance in Get started with Azure Key
Vault.
Add secrets to the key vault using the AzureRM Key Vault PowerShell Module available from the
PowerShell
Gallery,
the Azure Key Vault REST API, or the Azure
Portal. Secrets are created as either
Manual or Certificate secrets. Certificate secrets are certificates for use by apps and services but are not supported by the
configuration provider. You should use the Manual option to create
name-value pair secrets for use with the configuration provider.
Simple secrets are created as name-value pairs. Azure Key Vault secret names are limited to alphanumeric characters and dashes.
Hierarchical values (configuration sections) use -- (two dashes) as a separator in the sample. Colons, which are normally used
to delimit a section from a subkey in ASP.NET Core
configuration, aren't allowed
in secret names. Therefore, two dashes are used and swapped for a
colon when the secrets are loaded into the app's configuration.
Create two Manual secrets with the following name-value pairs. The first secret is a simple name and value, and the second
secret creates a secret value with a section and subkey in the secret
name:
SecretName: secret_value_1
Section--SecretName: secret_value_2
Register the sample app with Azure Active Directory.
Authorize the app to
access the key vault. When you use the
Set-AzureRmKeyVaultAccessPolicy PowerShell cmdlet to authorize the
app to access the key vault, provide List and Get access to
secrets with -PermissionsToSecrets list,get.
Update the app's appsettings.json file with the values of Vault, ClientId, and ClientSecret.
Run the sample app, which obtains its configuration values from IConfigurationRoot with the same name as the secret name. *
Non-hierarchical values: The value for SecretName is obtained with
config["SecretName"]. * Hierarchical values (sections): Use :
(colon) notation or the GetSection extension method. Use either of
these approaches to obtain the configuration value:
config["Section:SecretName"]
config.GetSection("Section")["SecretName"]
Okay so I have copied the name of my application into Azure Active Directory as an 'Enterprise Application'. And I have added 'Access policies' for 'get' and 'list' in Azure for my ADD object I just created. Yet I get this error in the program when attempting to start the application:
Exception: {"error":"unauthorized_client","error_description":"AADSTS70001:
Application with identifier '(guid)' was not found in the directory ...(continues)
Update 8-4-18
Okay I found out that Azure uses the 'ClientId' and 'ClientSecret' in the local appsettings.json to connect to what Azure registers in this tutorial: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-resource-manager/resource-group-create-service-principal-portal#log-in-as-the-application
I get the clientId in appsettings.json from the applicationId on ADD I create with ADD>App Registrations>New
I click settings in ADD on the app I just created and create a key with an expiration to store as ClientSecret in appsettings.json.
I change my 'Vault' in appsettings to my named vault.
I run the powershell above to give access or else do it in ADD.
So now I am getting a simpler error:
'Microsoft.Azure.KeyVault.Models.KeyVaultErrorException: 'Access denied''
I have tried running as Administrator in Visual Studio. I went under Subscriptions in Azure>Access Control>(IAM)>set my new apps to Reader.
So the reason your powershell is failing is because you are trying to assign a User Principal - a user - when actually you want a Service Principal.
I can’t see your C# to support more there than saying when you use the SDK to log in as the Service Principal you use the application id of the Application/Service Principal (its the same id).
The service principal acts like a user in the local directory but you log in as the application.
Edit:
I looked at the example you posted and ran it myself and had very similar problems. However I have got it working. Here's the steps:
Creating the Application
Create the Registered Application. I do this through the Azure Portal so
a Service Principal is created automatically. Make a note of the ApplicationId.
Generate a key credential on the created application and make a note of it.
In the Application click on the link to the Managed app in local directory. This is the Service Principal, make a note of the ObjectId
Creating the Key Vault
Create KeyVault - I used PowerShell to do this. New-AzureRmKeyVault
Apply the Service Principal to the Key Vault.
Set-AzureRmKeyVaultAccessPolicy -VaultName <vault> -ResourceGroupName <ResourceGroupName> -ObjectId <Object Id of the Created Service Principal> -PermissionsToSecrets Get,List
Running the Sample App
In your application settings follow this format:
{
"Vault": <the name of your vault>,
"ClientId": <ApplicationId of the Registered Application>,
"ClientSecret": <Credential generated from the Registered Application>
}
This worked for me and allowed me to run the sample and retrieve the secrets from the vault.
The ultimate problem for me became that running 'Set-AzureRmKeyVaultAccessPolicy' was not needed and for whatever reason it was easier to just ignore it and follow this subsection: https://azure.microsoft.com/documentation/articles/key-vault-get-started/#authorize
I kept trying to set up Object Id and Keys and really I had just overlooked a section mentioning a 'ServerPrincipalName'
They set one commandlet for keys
Set-AzureRmKeyVaultAccessPolicy -VaultName '<vaultName>' -ServicePrincipalName <ApplicationIdGuid> -PermissionsToKeys decrypt,sign
They set one commandlet for secrets
Set-AzureRmKeyVaultAccessPolicy -VaultName '<vaultName>' -ServicePrincipalName <ApplicationIdGuid> -PermissionsToSecrets Get, List
But I decided to follow the immediate proceeding section on doing it all in the Portal. The key take away for me was that the instructions were not wrong. Just vague when it says: "Register a sample app" then "Authorize the App". Really they should be saying
Register a sample app (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/key-vault/key-vault-get-started#register)
Authorize the app with Key Vault (https://azure.microsoft.com/documentation/articles/key-vault-get-started/#authorize)
Ultimately all the information is there it was just confusing if you happen to already have a vault and an application and don't understand the prerequisite is that really you need to have a 1. A Vault, 2. An ADD Web Application, 3. Associate permissions for 2 in 1.
Is it possible to create a Key Vault in Azure via c#? I'm able to manipulate secrets and keys via the KeyVaultClient but I need to
A). See if a key vault already exists and
B). Create a key vault if it doesn't exist.
Yes, you can use the KeyVault management client to list where a key vault exists in an Azure subscription and create the KeyVault if necessary. There is C# SDK for these operations which are against Azure Resource Manager.
