Cloud applications and services use cryptographic keys and secrets to help keep information secure. Azure Key Vault safeguards these keys and secrets. When you use Key Vault, you can encrypt authentication keys, storage account keys, data encryption keys, .pfx files, and passwords by using keys that are protected by hardware security modules.
The following table shows you the steps for Azure KeyVault Creation:
Task | Image |
---|---|
RealmJoin will not store the secret in any proprietary storage but instead create an Azure KeyVault Secret to store it in a secure and auditable way.
The entry in KeyVault will be added with the device name as a key and the plain GUID as the secret value. See the following example screenshot:
1. Open Azure Portal
2. Start with Create a resource
3. Type in Key Vault in the search field
4. On the detail page click Create
5. Fill out the required fields. Please make sure to use a distinct naming scheme for the keyvault URL. For example: rj-[tenant]-[service]

7. Review your settings and configurations and click Create
8. Wait for the successful deployment
9. Click Go to resource
10. Navigate to Access policies
11. Click Add Access Policies
