Azure Key Vault is a cloud service that securely stores and manages sensitive information such as keys, secrets, and certificates. Integrating the application with Azure Key Vault allows the retrieval of these sensitive data securely. 

Currently, there are 2 steps under the Azure Key Vault:

Sr. No.Step NameDescription
1Get Secret ValueThe "Get Secret Value" step retrieves a secret value from Azure Key Vault. Secrets stored in Azure Key Vault can include connection strings, API keys, or any other sensitive information.
2Get Secret Value AsyncThe "Get Secret Value Async" step is similar to the "Get Secret Value" step but operates asynchronously. This means it retrieves the secret value from Azure Key Vault without blocking the primary Flow or process it is used in.

Prerequisites

  1. This step requires the Azure Services module to be installed before it will be available in the toolbox. 
  2.  Admin users must configure an Environment Variable for "AzureServicesAuthConnectionString" at the System level. This configuration ensures seamless access to Azure services, including Azure Key Vault.
