I am using Identity server to handle logins in my app hosted in MS Azure. I am using Azure key vault to store my certificates. When I am trying to obtain certificates from Azure Key Vault on local machine, everything works fine, but after deploying to the server, I am getting the error described bellow.
I have followed this tutorial: https://damienbod.com/2020/04/09/using-certificates-from-azure-key-vault-in-asp-net-core/
I have created Azure AD and registered my app into it. Also I have created Azure Key Vault, added my app into Key Vault access principles and inside my app service I have allowed identity assigned by the system.
When I deployed this app on the server I am getting this error
In the key vault I allowed all permissions for this app
Is there some more setting, which needs to be done before deploying?
Thanks.
After you enable the system-assigned identity for your app service, you also need to add it to the Access policies of the keyvault with the correct certificate permission(just navigate to the Access policies, search for the web app name and add it).
The sample you provided use the AzureServiceTokenProvider, when you deploy your code to app service, it should use the system-assigned identity to access the keyvault in your case.
To let this work, you also need to specify the AzureServicesAuthConnectionString environment variable in your app service with RunAs=App, see this link.

I have an Azure Web App and hosted on App Service Environment V3 (Plan: I1v2: 1). After deploying this app I have a problem accessing values on the Azure Key Vault.
When I want to add this app in Access Policy in the Key vault, I couldn't find this app.
I solve this problem, first found ObjectID of App from:
Navigate to the idenity blade of your web app
Set the status to "on"
Select "Save"
Grab the ObjectID when the page refreshes.
Navigate to your principal text box that you have the Web Apps objectID.
After that, with Azure CLI I was granted access to the Key Vault.

How we can get the Access to Azure key vault secrets from Typescript app.
We have access to the VM on which the application is running.
What are the steps and code we need to place in Type script react application to get azure key vault access?
It is not possible and not recommended to use Azure key vault in Typescript app. It is a security risk, as anyone can see your KeyVault connection details from browser console and access your secrets.
You should not access secured resources directly from client code.

Could anyone provide some instruction on how you would go about assigning a Managed Service Identity to a Remotely-hosted Web app?
My application is registered in AAD to enable the use of authentication. I want to remove the appSecret from appsettings and store that in the KeyVault and access the KeyVault using the MSI.
I have looked at the MS docs and followed a few guides, but have not, as of yet, managed to successfully retrieve my secret.
In the first instance, I just wanted to store a secret and get that back, and once that was working, get the client secret using the same approach.
Managed identity only works when you host your app in Azure.
This is because it works as a local endpoint inside the Azure instances.
Before creating a key vault it needs me to create an application Active Directory. Why do we need it? It's not even my actual application (i.e. I have not uploaded my app to Azure but using secrets from the key vault only in my visual studio web application). I still don't understand that part.
If you want to access the keyvault, you need a service principal which has been added in the access policy in the keyvault, registering app will create the service principal. The AAD App is different from the application in VS, the AAD App represents your permission to access the keyvault.
We have hosted our application on Azure WebAPP and wanted to use SSL on this. Should we use traditional way to attach this certification to Azure WebAPP or should we user Azure Key Vault. Since access to Azure WebAPP through RDP is not available and Azure is managing our WebAPP, can certification be compromised (if the Azure key vault is not used)?
I can understand its usage in case of VM, but on Azure, WebApp does it add any value.
Azure Web App doesn't rely on Azure Key Vault for any of its functionalities.
However, if you are using App Service Certificate, then you end up configuring Azure Key Vault for storing the secret. Other use cases are also there, but those are from an application perspective.
