@Givary-MSFT I referred the info, I couldn't proceed further. I know how to create self signed certificate and save in Azure, but my query is how to retrieve the certificate and use it in Maui builder to create a package. Please share some working sample projects it would be easy for me. Thanks in Adv.

If you see in the https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/key-vault/certificates/quick-create-portal link , there you can see the option to download certificate placed in KV

And then Export the Certificate to a File:

Use the Export-Certificate cmdlet to export the certificate to a file.

You can specify the file format (e.g., DER, PEM) and the file path where the certificate will be saved.

Example:
$certificateBytes = $certificate.Certificate.Export([System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.X509ContentType]::Cert)

Once you have exported the certificate to a file, you can create a package that includes it. You can use any packaging method or tool that suits your requirements, such as creating a ZIP archive. Ensure that the package includes any necessary instructions or scripts for installing or using the certificate.

It seems we need to download the certificate in our system and then add it. But I want to attach directly in code. Some configuration made in MAUI builder.

Hi , sure

You can refer to these samples for guidance on how to integrate Key Vault certificates into your Maui builder project.

Here are some resources you can refer to:

Azure Key Vault SDK for .NET

Azure Key Vault SDK for Python
