The actual value of the key and the logic behind it isn’t relevant to this article (I’m using RSA private keys under the hood), but the point is that we have a method in our code to verify the authentication key.
Invoke-WebRequest -Uri "" -Headers $Headers -Data $Data So, the scenario is that a client sends a request with a known header value, as in: $Headers = Authorization = "abcdefg1234567" I could have implemented this using HTTP Basic authentication, or using OAuth tokens, but instead I thought it’d be good to get my hands dirty in the base classes.
Each client would be given an “API Key” that would identify and authorize their requests. In my case, I was writing an API for sending emails, which many different clients would connect to. However, sometimes that’s not enough, and you need to roll your own logic. ] ` # Optional, but specify to improve search performanceĪ self-signed certificate can be used to validate the KeyVault was setup Core has really good out-of-the-box support for authorization and authentication via ASP.NET Identity. Figure 7: Validate KeyVault information using Get-AzureRmKeyVault. Set-AzureRmKeyVaultAccessPolicy can be used to grant access to other users, applications, and service principals. Get-AzureRmKeyVault can be used to validate the KeyVault was created with the expected information. The Azure account used to create the KeyVault is now authorized to perform any operations on it. This enables creating the KeyVault in a subscription where the specified resource group resides. See for more details. Specifying a subscription is useful when an account has multiple subscriptions. Figure 5: Logging into an Azure account using a subscription id. Login-AzureRmAccount must be called be able to call New-AzureRmKeyVault. Figure 4: Adding an Azure account to Powershell session. Figure 3: Subscription cannot be found because an azure account has not been addedĪn Azure account must be registered before subscriptions can be selected. Using Select-AzureSubscription yields another error. Figure 2: Error message when subscription has not been set NoteĪn Azure subscription must be selected to be able to run Get-AzureLocation. The backtick character (`) is used to enable splitting a Powershell command over multiple lines. EnabledForDeployment enables the Microsoft.Compute resource provider to retrieve secrets from this key vault when this key vault is referenced in resource creation, for example when creating a virtual machine. For more information, type Get-Help Get-AzureLocation. Use the command Get-AzureLocation to see your choices. Location specifies the Azure region in which to create the key vault. Create a resource group before running this cmdlet. ResourceGroupName specifies the name of an existing resource group in which to create the key vault. The name must start and end with a letter or digit. The name can be any combination of letters, digits, or hyphens. VaultName specifies the name of the key vault to create. How? Figure 1: Create new Azure KeyVault instance. PowerShell will be used to enable automating deployment in production. What?Īzure KeyVault is a service that stores and manages access to secrets. Delegating the responsibility of storing and managing access to secrets to a single service makes it easier to protect.
