Question

I am working on – Using azure key vault in web application. Implemented steps below, but getting error.

Steps:

1. Created azure active directory and added application in this directory. (copied - Client id and key)
2. Created azure key vault using power shell in the same subscription. (Successfully created key vault, along with some keys).
3. In web application code implemented using azure key vault library. But getting error saying that : -

Answer 1

You say you've Created azure active directory and added application in this directory.

This means you've registered your application in the non-default directory for the subscription. Due to a limitation in Azure KeyVault, you can only authorize applications in the default directory to use KeyVault.
