No such host is known. (kv-env-app.vault.azure.net:443)

Question

My web application is deployed to azure "App service" via azure DevOps and the solution was built using .NET 5.

I am using "Azure.Security.KeyVaults.Secrets (4.2.0)" to connect to the Key Vault.

But last 48 hours I am getting the following issue
"with physical root 'C:\home\site\wwwroot\' hit unexpected managed exception, exception code = '0xe0434352'. First 30KB characters of captured stdout and stderr logs: Unhandled exception. System.Net.Http.HttpRequestException: No such host is known. (keyValutUri:443) --->"

I have checked the App service "Identity" and the key vault "Access policies" too. Both are configured. What could be the reason.

Hi @Nayanajith • Thank you for reaching out.

Based on the error, the application is not able to connect to the Key Vault named kv-env-app.vault.azure.net. To make sure that a Key Vault with this name actually exists, I tried to create a new Key Vault with the same name in my subscription expecting that to fail, as the name must be unique across all the subscriptions in Azure.

However, the name was successfully getting validated as it is available for use:

If the name is already assigned to a Key Vault by someone in Azure, it should result in the below error:

So, I would suggest you check if the Key Vault with that name still exists or is deleted by someone. If it is deleted, try creating a new one with the same name so that you don't have to update the application code.
