Azure Key Vault is a cloud service that provides a secure store for secrets. You can securely store keys, passwords, certificates, and other secrets. Azure key vaults may be created and managed through the Azure portal. In this quickstart, you create a key vault, then use it to store a key. For more information on Key Vault, review the Overview.
To access Azure Key Vault, you'll need an Azure subscription. If you don't already have a subscription, create a free account before you begin.
All access to secrets takes place through Azure Key Vault. For this quickstart, create a key vault using the Azure portal, Azure CLI, or Azure PowerShell.
To add a key to the vault, you just need to take a couple of additional steps. In this case, we add a key that could be used by an application. The key is called ExampleKey.
On the Key Vault properties pages, select Keys.
Select Generate/Import.
On the Create a key screen choose the following values:
Options: Generate.
Name: ExampleKey.
Leave the other values to their defaults. Select Create.
Retrieve a key from Key Vault
Once that you receive the message that the key has been successfully created, you may click on it on the list. You can then see some of the properties and select Download public key to retrieve the key.
Clean up resources
Other Key Vault quickstarts and tutorials build upon this quickstart. If you plan to continue on to work with subsequent quickstarts and tutorials, you may wish to leave these resources in place.When no longer needed, delete the resource group, which deletes the Key Vault and related resources. To delete the resource group through the portal:
Enter the name of your resource group in the Search box at the top of the portal. When you see the resource group used in this quickstart in the search results, select it.
Select Delete resource group.
In the TYPE THE RESOURCE GROUP NAME: box type in the name of the resource group and select Delete.
Next steps
In this quickstart, you created a Key Vault and stored a key in it. To learn more about Key Vault and how to integrate it with your applications, continue on to these articles.
Once that you receive the message that the key has been successfully created, you may click on it on the list. You can then see some of the properties and select Download public key to retrieve the key.
Use https://<your-unique-keyvault-name>.vault.azure.net/secrets/ExamplePassword to get the current version. Now, you have created a Key Vault, stored a secret, and retrieved it.
If your key vault is configured as "Azure role-based access control", then assign Key Vault Secrets User role to the application. If your key vault is configured as "Vault access policy", then you have to create access policy selecting Secret permissions and assigning it to application.
“Key Vault is designed, deployed and operated such that Microsoft and its agents are precluded from accessing, using or extracting any data stored in the service, including cryptographic keys.
To access Key Vault programmatically, use a service principal with the certificate you created in the previous step. The service principal must be in the same Microsoft Entra tenant as the Key Vault. The URLs for the application aren't important, since we're only using them for Key Vault access.
In the Azure portal, go to your storage account.Under Security + networking, select Access keys. Your account access keys appear, as well as the complete connection string for each key. Select Show keys to show your access keys and connection strings and to enable buttons to copy the values.
If you select on the current version, you can see the value you specified in the previous step. By clicking "Show Secret Value" button in the right pane, you can see the hidden value. You can also use Azure CLI, or Azure PowerShell to retrieve previously created secret.
To use a key vault reference, set the reference as the value of the setting. Your app can reference the secret through its key as normal. No code changes are required.
Log in to the Azure portal.Select your key vault.Click on the "Properties" blade.Verify if the radio button next to soft-delete is set to "Enable Recovery".
If you need your public key, you can easily copy it from the portal page for the key. Just list your keys (using the process in the last section) then select a key from the list.
