Hi @anil ,

Thanks for reaching out.

I understand you are trying to read a secret from Azure Key Vault and getting default value.

There are various ways mentioned in this tutorial to create an app.
If you tried to create an app with Spring Initializer ,that will show default value as application is not configured with your application details.

To get the output, go through the create an app without spring Initializer to get the connection string.

Hope this will help.

Thanks,
Shweta
