Get-AzKeyVaultSecret can't read secret value in Powershell - azure

Question

I'm not able to read the value of one of my secrets in Key Vault. I'm logged in with my Azure account and I have full permission to the selected Key Vault.
I'm able to retrieve a list of available secrets using the following command:
$keyVaultValue = (Get-AzKeyVaultSecret -VaultName 'name-of-key-vault')
And then see the content when I write:
Write-Output $keyVaultValue
But when I ask for a specific key it just returns null:
$keyVaultValue = (Get-AzKeyVaultSecret -VaultName 'name-of-key-vault' -Name 'my-secret-name').SecretValueText
I've checked the name and subscription ID and everything is correct. I can easily read the value from the portal, but no from powershell on my Windows PC.
Any suggestions?

Answer 1

SecretValueText is deprecated, You can use the following syntax the retrieve the value as plain text:
$keyVaultValue = Get-AzKeyVaultSecret -VaultName 'name-of-key-vault' -Name 'my-secret-name'
$keyVaultValue.SecretValue | ConvertFrom-SecureString -AsPlainText
More information and examples can be found here.

Answer 2

If you want to show all key-vault secrets name and their key values then you can use this in powershell
$secrets=Get-AzKeyVaultSecret -VaultName 'key-vault-name'
$secrets | % {Write-Output "$($_.name) $($(Get-AzKeyVaultSecret -VaultName $_.VaultName -Name $_.Name).SecretValue | ConvertFrom-SecureString -AsPlainText)" }

Answer 3

Try using this function:
function GetSecretValue
{
param(
[String]$keyvaultName,
[String]$secretName
)
Write-Host "Retrieving secret $secretName from $keyvaultName... " -NoNewline
if ((Get-Command Get-AzKeyVaultSecret).ParameterSets.Parameters.Name -contains "AsPlainText")
{
# Newer Get-AzKeyVaultSecret version requires -AsPlainText parameter
$secretValue = Get-AzKeyVaultSecret -VaultName $keyvaultName -Name $secretName -AsPlainText
}
else
{
$secretValue = (Get-AzKeyVaultSecret -VaultName $keyvaultName -Name $secretName).SecretValueText
}
Write-Host "ok"
return $secretValue
}
Usage example:
$keyVaultValue = GetSecretValue "name-of-key-vault" "my-secret-name"
