Add-MgServicePrincipalKey

Adds a key credential to a servicePrincipal. This method along with removeKey can be used by a servicePrincipal to automate rolling its expiring keys. As part of the request validation for this method, a proof of possession of an existing key is verified before the action can be performed. ServicePrincipals that don't have any existing valid certificates (i.e.: no certificates have been added yet, or all certificates have expired), won't be able to use this service action. Update servicePrincipal can be used to perform an update instead.

Description

Adds a key credential to a servicePrincipal. This method along with removeKey can be used by a servicePrincipal to automate rolling its expiring keys. As part of the request validation for this method, a proof of possession of an existing key is verified before the action can be performed. ServicePrincipals that don't have any existing valid certificates (i.e.: no certificates have been added yet, or all certificates have expired), won't be able to use this service action. Update servicePrincipal can be used to perform an update instead.

Examples

Example 1: Adding a new key credential to a servicePrincipal

Import-Module Microsoft.Graph.Applications

$params = @{
	keyCredential = @{
		type = "AsymmetricX509Cert"
		usage = "Verify"
		key = [System.Text.Encoding]::ASCII.GetBytes("MIIDYDCCAki...")
	}
	passwordCredential = $null
	proof = "eyJ0eXAiOiJ..."
}

Add-MgServicePrincipalKey -ServicePrincipalId $servicePrincipalId -BodyParameter $params

This example shows adding a new key credential to a serviceprincipal

Example 2: Adding a key credential and an associated password for the key

Import-Module Microsoft.Graph.Applications

$params = @{
	keyCredential = @{
		type = "X509CertAndPassword"
		usage = "Sign"
		key = [System.Text.Encoding]::ASCII.GetBytes("MIIDYDCCAki...")
	}
	passwordCredential = @{
		secretText = "MKTr0w1..."
	}
	proof = "eyJ0eXAiOiJ..."
}

Add-MgServicePrincipalKey -ServicePrincipalId $servicePrincipalId -BodyParameter $params

This example shows adding a key credential and an associated password for the key
