Question

Parameter 'secret_name' must conform to the following pattern: '^[0-9a-zA-Z-]+$'

Vinod Malli 20

Hello,

I am getting the below error when I tried to run a simple for loop (bash script) to upload key/value pairs into azure keyvault. Can someone help me to resolve the error?

Error:

Parameter 'secret_name' must conform to the following pattern: '^[0-9a-zA-Z-]+$'

key/value file:

cat 1.txt

"d4c45726-f2db-48d0-8363-b7806895ba9f" "99ahijkbdjnmscjruivAKJBHIKDJNEJK"

"6568f27c-da2c-418c-a3bc-75086d37228b" "199abdjnmscscjruiabcdKDJNEJK"

"549a6c49-3969-40d5-8a85-18b285fc474e" "DRh4JHQZ/BwoadIPHD1asasAA4qabcd0qKrmI5sTYu8="

"8dff7280-d079-4d97-81d1-6ad88e149dc0" "Znl8ZfAAArFabcdycM0XYgaJOh39yQRtYj7+t6X8="

"5b849093-a159-4801-9b73-1e645c31ccaf" "0zaJLL/Qqzabcdhy9sRM6brW8DM5hz2wQbqxDsa/xfRVRQQ="

Bash Script: (Failing)

cat 1.txt | while read line
do 
	echo "$line"
	key=`echo $line | cut -d " " -f 1`
	value=`echo $line | cut -d " " -f 2`
	echo $key
	echo $value

	az keyvault secret set --vault-name "test-kv-csv" --name $key --value $value
done

If I use same key value pairs manually (one by one) with az keyvault command (on Linux terminal or az cli) then it works.

Manually: (Worked)
az keyvault secret set --vault-name "test-kv-csv" --name "549a6c49-3969-40d5-8a85-18b285fc474e" --value "DRh4JHQZ/BwoadIPHD1asasAA4qabcd0qKrmI5sTYu8="

az keyvault secret set --vault-name "test-kv-csv" --name "d4c45726-f2db-48d0-8363-b7806895ba9f" --value "99ahijkbdjnmscjruivAKJBHIKDJNEJK"

I'm not a bash person but whenever I see mention of splitting strings with spaces I always wonder about leading/trailing spaces. It is hard to tell with echo but there could be leading or trailing spaces on the key (and/or value). Ensure that you are trimming the spaces before and after the key.

Again, not a bash person, but one person online recommended this: $line | tr -s " " | cut -d " " -f1

Thank you for your post!

Error Message:

Parameter 'secret_name' must conform to the following pattern: '^[0-9a-zA-Z-]+$'

I understand that you're trying to upload Key-Value pairs into the Azure Key Vault but you're running into the above error message. When manually uploading these Key-Value pairs one-by-one everything works as expected when using the az keyvault secret set command, but the issue comes when you try to run your Bash Script.

I was able to reproduce your issue within my environment and it looks like the Secret Name is being created with the quotes ("d4c45726...."). However, after removing the quotes within the TXT, I was able to create all of the Key Value pairs you referenced except for 5b849093...
