Within an Azure Function App (Powershell 7.4; Windows, TimeTrigger, App Service Plan Y1) I am trying to load a certificate from a KeyVault:
<code>$pfxSecret = Get-AzKeyVaultSecret -VaultName "myVault" -Name "mySecret -AsPlainText
$certBytes = [Convert]::FromBase64String($pfxSecret)
</code>
<code>$pfxSecret = Get-AzKeyVaultSecret -VaultName "myVault" -Name "mySecret -AsPlainText
$certBytes = [Convert]::FromBase64String($pfxSecret)
</code>
$pfxSecret = Get-AzKeyVaultSecret -VaultName "myVault" -Name "mySecret -AsPlainText
$certBytes = [Convert]::FromBase64String($pfxSecret)
During the conversion to an X509 certificate …
<code>$x509Cert = [System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.X509Certificate2]::new($certBytes, "")
</code>
<code>$x509Cert = [System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.X509Certificate2]::new($certBytes, "")
</code>
$x509Cert = [System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.X509Certificate2]::new($certBytes, "")
Powershell crashes:
<code>System.Management.Automation.ParentContainsErrorRecordException Message : [ERROR] while converting Certificate to X509: Exception calling ".ctor" with "2" argument(s): "The system cannot find the file specified."
HResult : -2146233087 CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [], ParentContainsErrorRecordException FullyQualifiedErrorId : RuntimeException WasThrownFromThrowStatement : True Message : [ERROR] while converting Certificate to X509: Exception calling ".ctor" with "2" argument(s): "The system cannot find the file specified."

However, this error only occurs after the cold start of a function. It seems that for a certain reason my command within profile.ps1 is not working correctly:
<code>Add-Type -AssemblyName System.Core
</code>
<code>Add-Type -AssemblyName System.Core
</code>
Add-Type -AssemblyName System.Core

Primarily, I enabled managed identity in function app and granted the permissions using Access policies or you can use RBAC roles too, to fetch the certificate.
I only have 'Az.KeyVault' = '4.*' module in requirements.psd1 file.
I have below given code in the function app.
<code>using namespace System.Net
param($Request, $TriggerMetadata)
Write-Host "PowerShell HTTP trigger function processed a request."
$pfxSecret = Get-AzKeyVaultSecret -VaultName "afreenKvv" -Name "testcert" -AsPlainText
$certBytes = [Convert]::FromBase64String($pfxSecret)
$x509Cert = [System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.X509Certificate2]::new($certBytes, "")
Write-Host "Certificate: $x509Cert"
$body = "Retrieved certificate: $x509Cert"
Push-OutputBinding -Name Response -Value ([HttpResponseContext]@{
StatusCode = [HttpStatusCode]::OK
Body = $body
})
</code>
<code>using namespace System.Net

$pfxSecret = Get-AzKeyVaultSecret -VaultName "afreenKvv" -Name "testcert" -AsPlainText

This gives me expected response and also it worked after a cold start.
For App Service Plan Function App, use below command.
<code>$pfxSecret = Get-AzKeyVaultSecret -VaultName "KeyVaultName" -Name "testcert" -AsPlainText
$certBytes = [Convert]::FromBase64String($pfxSecret)
$x509Cert = [System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.X509Certificate2]::new($certBytes, "", [System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.X509KeyStorageFlags]::MachineKeySet)
</code>
<code>$pfxSecret = Get-AzKeyVaultSecret -VaultName "KeyVaultName" -Name "testcert" -AsPlainText
$certBytes = [Convert]::FromBase64String($pfxSecret)
$x509Cert = [System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.X509Certificate2]::new($certBytes, "", [System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.X509KeyStorageFlags]::MachineKeySet)
</code>
$pfxSecret = Get-AzKeyVaultSecret -VaultName "KeyVaultName" -Name "testcert" -AsPlainText
$certBytes = [Convert]::FromBase64String($pfxSecret)
$x509Cert = [System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.X509Certificate2]::new($certBytes, "", [System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.X509KeyStorageFlags]::MachineKeySet)
