What is KeyVaultLib

KeyVaultLib can be used to interact with Azure key vaults and provide functions to get pre-existing items from a vault. It also caches the result (for 2 hours) to reduce external calls to the vault.

KeyVaultLib should work with .NET Core and Framework as it is written in C# netstandard2.0

Your vault should be configured to give access to the identity your code is running under. See tutorial-windows-vm-access-nonaad.

How to use KeyVaultLib

Create a new instance, passing your keyvault url

var kv = new KeyVaultHelper("https://mykeyvault.vault.azure.net");  

To get a secret:

var secretValue = await kv.GetSecretValueAsync("MySecretName");

returns an empty string if it does not exist

To get a list of secrets:

var secrets = await kv.GetSecretsListAsync()

To get a certificate:

var certBundle = await kv.GetCertificateValueAsync("MyCertName");

returns null if it does not exist

Unit tests

The environmment variable TEST_VaultName should point to the full url of your vault, e.g. https://myvault.vault.azure.net/
