We're looking to be able to retrieve a large number of IoT device access keys. We haven't been able to find a way to do this in any sort of reasonable timeframe.

Things we have tried:

  • Get-AzIotHubDeviceConnectionString call for each device. This takes 2 - 3 seconds per device and isn't feasible for our use case.
  • Get-AzIotHubDeviceConnectionString call for "all" devices (that is, without specifying a deviceid). It has a limitation of 1000 results, and even if there is a way to work around this, it still can take almost 10 minutes to receive the results.
  • Using 'az iot hub device-identity connection-string show' had similar response times to Get-AzIotHubDeviceConnectionString.

Does anyone know of a way to retrieve shared access keys for iot devices in a short period of time?
