Unable to see 'Import' button in Key Vault secret option

Question

Hi folks,

I am trying to upload/ renew a secret object in Key Vault, but I am unable to see import certificate option there. I certainly can recall it was previously there but now it's not.

Have there been any changes made to the KV operations recently from Azure? Has this option been permanently removed?

If yes, how can we upload the certificate files to KV secrets?

The solution that worked for me.

Open Windows PowerShell ISE on your computer as an administrator.

Run the following commands:

Connect-AzureRmAccount -TenantId 00000000-ede9-4ad4-827d-000000000000

$pfxFilePath = 'C:\certificate_name.pfx'

$pwd = ''

$flag = [System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.X509KeyStorageFlags]::Exportable

$collection = New-Object System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.X509Certificate2Collection

$collection.Import($pfxFilePath, $pwd, $flag)

$pkcs12ContentType = [System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.X509ContentType]::Pkcs12

$clearBytes = $collection.Export($pkcs12ContentType)

$fileContentEncoded = [System.Convert]::ToBase64String($clearBytes)

$secret = ConvertTo-SecureString -String $fileContentEncoded -AsPlainText –Force

$secretContentType = 'application/x-pkcs12'

Set-AzureKeyVaultSecret -VaultName 'KeyVaultName' -Name 'NewSecretName' -SecretValue $Secret -ContentType $secretContentType

After you finish the Certificate should show up in the KeyVault under Secrets.
