ARM template to update nbf and exp parameters of key

Question

Hi,

I need to update nbf and exp parameters of existing key. Firstly, is it possible to update these params of existing key using ARM ? If yes, can you please provide ARM template for same ?

I tried with ARM template : https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/key-vault/keys/quick-create-template?tabs=CLI but it gave me error:

"KeyCreationParametersDidNotMatchExistingKey",\r\n "message": "[KeyCreationParametersDidNotMatchExistingKey (BadRequest)] The key 'test' already exists, but the specified key creation parameters did not match that of the existing key (The existing key has an expiration date of '1755752166', which doesn't match the given expiration date '1753228800'.). This API can only be used for creating the first version of a new key (no subsequent versions can be created, and existing keys cannot be updated)."\r\n }\r\n}

@Rekhawar, Nilakshi (Corporate, IND) Thank you for reaching out to us, As I understand you are looking use ARM template to update nbf and exp parameters of existing key.

As per the documentation which you shared - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/key-vault/keys/quick-create-template?tabs=CLI in the same doc its clearly mentioned

It's only possible to create new keys. It isn't possible to update existing keys, nor create new versions of existing keys.
