Description

The Import-AzKeyVaultCertificate cmdlet imports a certificate into a key vault. You can create the certificate to import by using one of the following methods:

Use Add-AzKeyVaultCertificate to create a certificate signing request and submit it to a certificate authority. See https://learn.microsoft.com/azure/key-vault/certificates/create-certificate-signing-request
Use an existing certificate package file, such as a .pfx or .p12 file, which contains both the certificate and private key.

Examples

Example 1: Import a key vault certificate

$Password = ConvertTo-SecureString -String "****" -AsPlainText -Force
Import-AzKeyVaultCertificate -VaultName "ContosoKV01" -Name "ImportCert01" -FilePath "C:\Users\contosoUser\Desktop\import.pfx" -Password $Password

Name        : importCert01
Certificate : [Subject]
                CN=contoso.com

              [Issuer]
                CN=contoso.com

              [Serial Number]
                XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

The first command uses the ConvertTo-SecureString cmdlet to create a secure password, and then stores it in the $Password variable. The second command imports the certificate named ImportCert01 into the CosotosoKV01 key vault.

Example 2: Import a key vault certificate by CertificateString

$Password = ConvertTo-SecureString -String "****" -AsPlainText -Force
$Base64String = [System.Convert]::ToBase64String([System.IO.File]::ReadAllBytes("import.pfx"))
Import-AzKeyVaultCertificate -VaultName "ContosoKV01" -Name "ImportCert01" -CertificateString $Base64String -Password $Password

Name        : importCert01
Certificate : [Subject]
                CN=contoso.com

              [Issuer]
                CN=contoso.com

The first command uses the ConvertTo-SecureString cmdlet to create a secure password, and then stores it in the $Password variable. The second command reads a certificate as a Base64 encoded representation. The third command imports the certificate named ImportCert01 into the CosotosoKV01 key vault.

Example 3: Import a key vault certificate with PolicyFile

$Password = ConvertTo-SecureString -String "****" -AsPlainText -Force
Import-AzKeyVaultCertificate -VaultName "ContosoKV01" -Name "ImportCert01" -FilePath "C:\Users\contosoUser\Desktop\import.pfx" -Password $Password -PolicyPath "C:\Users\contosoUser\Desktop\policy.json"

Name        : importCert01
Certificate : [Subject]
                CN=contoso.com

              [Issuer]
                CN=contoso.com
