@bhanush880 You need to use the secrets path to the certificate because that'll make sure the download includes the private key as the certificate endpoint only includes the public key.

i.e. https://keyvaultid.vault.azure.net/secrets/wildcard-company-com

Keep in mind you do not need to add a secret in your Key Vault. simply making the URL change should allow the extension to download the correct certificate

Let me know if that works for you.

Thanks,

Jack

Hello

I just wanted to thank you for providing this solution as it has worked for me. Once I changed:

["https://<keyvault-name>.vault.azure.net/certificates/andrew-test"]

To

["https://<keyvault-name>.vault.azure.net/secrets/andrew-test"]

It worked fine, as indicated in the extension logs

Thank you

Hi ,

Working on azure key vault extension for windows. All the steps followed as per the documentation. But when the extension is running in the time interval below error is occurring.

Refreshing 'https://<keyvault-name>.vault.azure.net/secrets/CertificateName' failed with RequestException: 404; desc:
{"error":{"code":"SecretNotFound","message":"A secret with (name/id) CertificateName was not found in this key vault.
