To access Azure Key Vault from VS2022 on Localhost, follow these steps:
Create an Azure Key Vault: Go to the Azure portal and create a new Key Vault or use an existing one. Make sure to give appropriate permissions to the service principal or user to access the vault.
Install Azure CLI: Install Azure CLI on your local machine if you have not already done so. Azure CLI can be installed from the official website.
Log in to Azure: Open a command prompt or terminal window and log in to Azure by running the command "az login". It will prompt you to enter your Azure credentials.
Get Azure Key Vault Details: Run the command "az keyvault show" to get details of your Key Vault. Note down the "id" of the Key Vault.
Install Azure Key Vault Extension: Install Azure Key Vault extension for Visual Studio by going to Extensions and searching for "Azure Key Vault".
Add Connected Services: In Visual Studio, right-click on your project, and select Add Connected Service. Select Azure Key Vault and sign in with your Azure credentials.
Select Azure Key Vault to Connect: In the next window, select the Azure Key Vault you want to connect to by selecting the subscription, resource group, and Key Vault name.
Access Secrets in Code: After successfully connecting, you can access the secrets in your code by using the Microsoft.Azure.KeyVault NuGet package. Use the following code snippet to access a secret:
using Microsoft.Azure.KeyVault;
using Microsoft.Azure.Services.AppAuthentication;
var azureServiceTokenProvider = new AzureServiceTokenProvider();
var keyVaultClient = new KeyVaultClient(new KeyVaultClient.AuthenticationCallback(azureServiceTokenProvider.KeyVaultTokenCallback));
var secret = await keyVaultClient.GetSecretAsync("https://{keyvault-name}.vault.azure.net/secrets/{secret-name}").ConfigureAwait(false);
var secretValue = secret.Value;
Replace the {keyvault-name} and {secret-name} with your Key Vault name and the name of the secret respectively.
That's it! You can now access your Azure Key Vault from your localhost using Visual Studio.
