I’m confused. So I have a rough understanding of the MS Azure Key Vault concept and I would like to use it in a stand-alone C# Windows application. At the moment, just developing on one machine, I have my keys and endpoint set in my local Environment Variables.
Now I would like to build my application and give it to someone else. Obviously, I do not want my keys and secrets in my code so I want to use a Key Vault.

Looking at examples and tutorials I only ever see instructions for a local developer machine or an Azure WebApp. The local solution requires the Azure CL to authenticate and then use C# with your Key Vault name etc to retrieve keys and secrets. So far so good.

But how to access the vault from my C# code in a stand-alone app on someone else’s computer who does not have (or want) the Azure CL nor has credentials to log in.

I hope I’m making sense here…

Looking up solutions, but they all need at least AZCL and authentication, while I was looking for a stand-alone application to be able to access the key vault
