I saw in my key vault for the certificates, it doesn't show friendly name for the certificate as one of the fields. Is it possible to retrieve the friendly name from the certificate that is stored in key vault?

    @Yim, Sam
    Thank you for following up on this!

    From your screenshot - subject, issuer, secret identifier, etc., are the specific certificate version properties/policy. When it comes to the name of the certificate that you created, you should be able to find it within your Key Vault under Certificates.

    If you're leveraging PowerShell, you can find the name of the certificate within the Name field

    Links:
    Get-AzKeyVault
    Get-AzKeyVaultCertificate

    #Get all Certificates within your Key Vault  
    Get-AzKeyVaultCertificate -VaultName "jtranKeyVault"  
    
    #Get Certificate by name  
    Get-AzKeyVaultCertificate -VaultName "jtranKeyVault" -Name "FriendlyNameCert"

    When you mention using a DSC to grab the certificate, I'm assuming you could be referring to something similar to the Key Vault virtual machine extension for Windows. If so, you should be able to navigate to the file path - C:\WindowsAzure\Logs\Plugins\Microsoft.Azure.KeyVault.KeyVaultForWindows\most recent version\, to find the Certificate name by looking for the full certificate ID/URL. For more info - Logs and configuration.

    I hope this helps!
