Description

The Set-AzKeyVaultSecret cmdlet creates or updates a secret in a key vault in Azure Key Vault. If the secret does not exist, this cmdlet creates it. If the secret already exists, this cmdlet creates a new version of that secret.

Examples

Example 1: Modify the value of a secret using default attributes

$Secret = ConvertTo-SecureString -String "****" -AsPlainText -Force
Set-AzKeyVaultSecret -VaultName 'Contoso' -Name 'ITSecret' -SecretValue $Secret

Vault Name   : Contoso
Name         : ITSecret
Version      : 8b5c0cb0326e4350bd78200fac932b51
Id           : https://contoso.vault.azure.net:443/secrets/ITSecret/8b5c0cb0326e4350bd78200fac932b51

The first command converts a string into a secure string by using the ConvertTo-SecureString cmdlet, and then stores that string in the $Secret variable. For more information, type Get-Help ConvertTo-SecureString. The second command modifies value of the secret named ITSecret in the key vault named Contoso. The secret value becomes the value stored in $Secret.

Example 2: Modify the value of a secret using custom attributes

$Secret = ConvertTo-SecureString -String "****" -AsPlainText -Force
$Expires = (Get-Date).AddYears(2).ToUniversalTime()
$NBF =(Get-Date).ToUniversalTime()
$Tags = @{ 'Severity' = 'medium'; 'IT' = 'true'}
$ContentType = 'txt'
Set-AzKeyVaultSecret -VaultName 'Contoso' -Name 'ITSecret' -SecretValue $Secret -Expires $Expires -NotBefore $NBF -ContentType $ContentType -Disable -Tags $Tags

Vault Name   : Contoso
Name         : ITSecret
Version      : a2c150be3ea24dd6b8286986e6364851
Id           : https://contoso.vault.azure.net:443/secrets/ITSecret/a2c150be3ea24dd6b8286986e6364851

               IT        true

The first command converts a string into a secure string by using the ConvertTo-SecureString cmdlet, and then stores that string in the $Secret variable. For more information, type Get-Help ConvertTo-SecureString. The next commands define custom attributes for the expiry date, tags, and context type, and store the attributes in variables. The final command modifies values of the secret named ITSecret in the key vault named Contoso, by using the values specified previously as variables.

Example 3: Create a secret in azure key vault by command Set-Secret in module Microsoft.PowerShell.SecretManagement

# Install module Microsoft.PowerShell.SecretManagement
Install-Module Microsoft.PowerShell.SecretManagement -Repository PSGallery -AllowPrerelease
# Register vault for Secret Management
Register-SecretVault -Name AzKeyVault -ModuleName Az.KeyVault -VaultParameters @{ AZKVaultName = 'test-kv'; SubscriptionId = 'xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx' }
# Set secret for vault AzKeyVault
$secure = ConvertTo-SecureString -String "****" -AsPlainText -Force
Set-Secret -Name secureSecret -SecureStringSecret $secure -Vault AzKeyVault

None

This example sets a secret named secureSecret in azure key vault test-kv by command Set-Secret in module Microsoft.PowerShell.SecretManagement.
