I ran the following Azure command in PowerShell to fetch the keyvault certificate:
Get-AzureKeyVaultCertificate -VaultName "ssl-keyvault-appservice" -Name "PI"
I got the output
Since I'm new to PowerShell, I'm not sure how to retrieve the thumbprint alone. I searched for Azure PowerShell command for thumbprint alone, but I can't find anything.
Is there any way in PowerShell to get only the thumbprint property alone?
You could run the following -
(Get-AzureKeyVaultCertificate -VaultName "ssl-keyvault-appservice" -Name "PI").Thumbprint
OR
Get-AzureKeyVaultCertificate -VaultName "ssl-keyvault-appservice" -Name "PI" | Select -property Thumbprint

I'm following an educative course, where i need to put the webhook in the Azure Key Vault.
When i run below on powershell
New-AzKeyVault -Name "dev-avm-kvz" -ResourceGroupName "shared-rg" -Location "westeurope"
Set-AzKeyVaultAccessPolicy -VaultName "dev-avm-kvz" -UserPrincipalName "sxndgmail.onmicrosoft.com" -PermissionsToSecrets get,set,delete
$secretvalue = ConvertTo-SecureString "https://8xe2c-bd3dc2a.webhook.we.azure-automation.net/webhooks?token=i%2bcs1ZY" -AsPlainText -Force
$secret = Set-AzKeyVaultSecret -VaultName "dev-avm-kvz" -Name "db-new-vm-webhook" -SecretValue $secretvalue
The first line succeeds with a new vault created.
But the Set-AzKeyVaultAccessPolicy errors out as below -
here's the educative instructions im referring to ->
From their commands, i have changed principal name, vault name a little and my webhook URI
I have reproduced in my environment, and I got expected results as below and I followed Microsoft-Document:
Firstly, I have created a key Vault using the below PowerShell commands:
$ResourceGroupName ="XX"
$Location="North Europe"
$KeyVaultName="siliconvault"
New-AzKeyVault -Name $KeyVaultName -ResourceGroupName $ResourceGroupName `
-Location $Location -SoftDeleteRetentionInDays 7
Then, I have assigned access policy to the UPN and followed Microsoft-Document:
Set-AzKeyVaultAccessPolicy -VaultName siliconvault -UserPrincipalName 'XXk_outesaioutlook.onmicrosoft.com `
-PermissionsToSecrets Get,Set,List
You can find the UPN of the user by visiting > Azure Active Directory in your Azure Portal > Left Pane > Users > Click on the desired User and Copy the UPN.
Then i have used below commands to add secrets of web uri:
$SecretVault=ConvertTo-SecureString "https://a.webhook.we.azure-automation.net/webhooks?token=i%2" -AsPlainText -Force
Set-AzKeyVaultSecret -VaultName siliconvault -Name "webhookuri" -SecretValue $SecretVault
Outputs:
Access Policy is assigned to the UPN successfully as below:
Then you can see the secret is added as below:
Inside the secret your secret value is stored.
After create a runbook and edit content, I want to create variable and set value for them. How can I do it by ansible or azure cli ?
Please help me
Azure Automation stores each encrypted variable securely. When you create a variable, you can specify its encryption and storage by Azure Automation as a secure asset.
You must set the value with the Set-AzAutomationVariable cmdlet or the internal Set-AutomationVariable cmdlet. You use the Set-AutomationVariable in your runbooks that are intended to run in the Azure sandbox environment, or on a Windows Hybrid Runbook Worker.
You can create variables and set value for them using PowerShell script.
$rgName = "ResourceGroup01"
$accountName = "MyAutomationAccount"
$vm = Get-AzVM -ResourceGroupName "ResourceGroup01" -Name "VM01" | Select Name, Location,Extensions
New-AzAutomationVariable -ResourceGroupName "ResourceGroup01" -AutomationAccountName "MyAutomationAccount" -Name "MyComplexVariable" -Encrypted $false -Value $vm
$vmValue = Get-AzAutomationVariable -ResourceGroupName "ResourceGroup01" -AutomationAccountName "MyAutomationAccount" -Name "MyComplexVariable"
$vmName = $vmValue.Value.Name
$vmTags = $vmValue.Value.Tags

I got a script on a VM within the subscription/rg that runs a ps module called Qlik-Cli, it uses a certificate and a login.
The certificate is stored in the local store for the serviceaccount, not a choise, how the product works.
I need to trigger this thorgh a powershell runbook.
In order for this to work, I need to trigger this with the service account, cause it won't find the certificate otherwise.
This is something we are going to schedule so it has to be done this way.
How can I run it this way, or is it not possible?
I can't find any good option when googeling it.
> Import-Module -Name Qlik-Cli
> [Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol =
> [Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls12 $logpath =
> "E:\Tools\Scripts\log.txt" get-childitem cert:\currentuser\My\ |
> where {$_.Thumbprint -eq '"thumbprint"'} |
> Connect-Qlik "DNS" -UserName
> "user" -TrustAllCerts -verbose 4>&1 | Out-File
> -Append $logpath Start-QlikTask -id df9dfa2f-32ca-4db4-bdce-15ad924fd59f -verbose 4>&1 | Out-File -Append
> $logpath
The script in the runbook:
$ServicePrincipalConnection = Get-AutomationConnection -Name 'AzureRunAsConnection'
Add-AzAccount -ServicePrincipal -TenantId $ServicePrincipalConnection.TenantId -ApplicationId $ServicePrincipalConnection.ApplicationId -CertificateThumbprint $ServicePrincipalConnection.CertificateThumbprint
$rgname ="Resource-Group"
$vmname ="Virtual machine name"
$ScriptToRun = "E:\Tools\Scripts\Tasktrigger.ps1"
Out-File -InputObject $ScriptToRun -FilePath ScriptToRun.ps1
Invoke-AzVMRunCommand -ResourceGroupName $rgname -Name $vmname -CommandId 'RunPowerShellScript' -ScriptPath ScriptToRun.ps1
Remove-Item -Path ScriptToRun.ps1
What the logs says from the script (local script) when I execute the runbook is that it can't find the certificate which is not strange.
Raw output:
Found 0 certificates in the current user store
Found 0 certificates in the local machine store
No valid certificate found, using windows credentials
Used the code on Github for the module Click-Cli to backtrack the error message. Had to change certificate and imporrt the new one in personal / machine store.
Also the default username when running it from outside the QlikServer is domain\Servername$, which means you have to change permissions on the account in QlikSense to allow it to execute tasks.
You can see the name if you use verbose logging to file once you added the right certficate all the way.
The Qlik-CLI module, reads the client, QlikClient, certificate from cert:\\CurrentUser\My.
So, if you are trying to run Qlik-CLI scripts as a different user than the Qlik Sense service user account (or on another machine), you need to log in as the service account, export the QlikClient certificate, including the private key, and install it under the user running the script.
The -UserName argument is just to tell Qlik who you want to be, given that you have the certificate in order.
To cut it short: Run the script as the Qlik service user. It will save you a lot of hassle. :)
I'm following How to add a certificate to an Azure RM website with Powershell and trying to add a certificate with the following Powershell
New-AzureRmWebAppSSLBinding -ResourceGroupName MyResource -WebAppName mysite -Name www.contoso.com -CertificateFilePath "C:\Secure\mycert.pfx" -CertificatePassword plaintextPassword
But it's returning with
New-AzureRmWebAppSSLBinding : The specified network password is not correct.
However, if I use the Azure portal I can add the certificate successfully from the pfx file, so the password is definitely correct.
New-AzureRmWebAppSSLBinding : The specified network password is not correct.
As far as I know, the certificate will be added via REST when we execute New-AzureRmWebAppSSLBinding cmdlet. And I could see this request details if I specify -Debug parameter for New-AzureRmWebAppSSLBinding cmdlet.
And if I provide an incorrect value for -CertificatePassword, It returns the same error.
So please check the CertificatePassword again to make sure you provide the same value (the value of Certificate password input on Azure portal) for New-AzureRmWebAppSSLBinding cmdlet.
I know this is dated. However for anyone else that runs into the issue try the following.
-CertificatePassword "PlainTextPassword"
Don't forget to add the quotes.
To take it a step further, for the sake of security, you can pass in your certificate password via keyvault.
$vaultname = "keyvault"
$secrectname = "keyvaultsecret"
$resourcegroup = "resourcegroupname"
$webappname = "webappname"
$hostname = "example.com"
$secretsecurestring = Get-AzureKeyVaultSecret -
VaultName $vaultname -Name $secretname
$pfxpass = $secretsecurestring.SecretValueText
New-AzureRmWebAppSSLBinding -ResourceGroupName
$resourcegroup -WebAppName $webappname -
CertificateFilePath C:\Certificate.pfx -
CertificatePassword $pfxpass -Name $hostname
I am trying to crete a "secret value" using Azure Key Vault. I am following a tutorial from Microsoft located here ... https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/key-vault-get-started/
I was able to create a Key Vault using ...
New-AzureRmKeyVault -VaultName 'MyKeyVaultName' -ResourceGroupName 'MyResourceGroup' -Location 'West US'
I can also verify it was created by using ...
Get-AzureRmKeyVault
I am able to create the secret value by using the following ...
$secretvalue = ConvertTo-SecureString 'Pa$$w0rd' -AsPlainText -Force
However when I try to set the key ...
$secret = Set-AzureKeyVaultSecret -VaultName 'MyKeyVaultName' -Name 'SQLPassword' -SecretValue $secretvalue
I get an error that says
Set-AzureKeyVaultSecret : Operation "set" is not allowed
I thought that I had gained all access to the Key Vault by creating it? Do I need to add specific permissions?
Here is a screen capture of the error from powershell
Likely a permissions issue. Try the following:
Set-AzureRmKeyVaultAccessPolicy –VaultName ‘{your vault name}’ –UserPrincipalName ‘{your account email}’ –PermissionsToKeys all –PermissionsToSecrets all
The problem you are having is that you are not creating a key to attach a secret to, You need to call Add-AzureKeyVaultKey to create that key. Like this...
$vault = Get-AzureRmKeyVault
$secretvalue = ConvertTo-SecureString 'Pa$$w0rd' `
-AsPlainText -Force
$key = Add-AzureKeyVaultKey -VaultName $vault.VaultName `
-Name Test01 `
-Destination Software
(Get-AzureKeyVaultSecret -VaultName $vault.VaultName `
-Name test01).SecretValueText
which returns
Pa$$w0rd
