I want to store a secret in Azure Key vault, pull into the application settings in an app service (which is working) and when I run the app I can retrieve the data.

Now I want to obtain this value in my local development using visual studio

Thanks to help from this video:

If you skip to the 9 min mark I was able to

• link the KV to the app service using managed identity
• store a value in my KV
• pull the value from KV and use as an app setting – which is then displayed as a Key Vault Reference in the source

Using the value for this as:

@Microsoft.KeyVault(SecretUri=https://keyVaultName/secrets/SecretName/1121283182091283/)

Then reference Secret_Value in code using:

in my web.config:

<add key="Secret_Value" value="localDev" />

var Secret = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings[“Secret_Value”];

which when I run the app locally on VS this returns ‘localDev’ but correctly when I run on app service this returns the value from the KV

How do I grab the value on my local dev? because obv I cant do this:

<add key="Secret_Value" value="@Microsoft.KeyVault(SecretUri=https://keyVaultName/secrets/SecretName/1121283182091283/)" />

Is this possible? I know I can add KeyVault as Nuget package and obtian with something like:

   var client = new SecretClient(new Uri(keyVaultURL), new DefaultAzureCredential());
        var secret = client.GetSecret(CRM_Secret_KeyVaultName);

but I dont want this.

I want to pull the value from the local webconfig directly from the KV, is this possible? thanks for any replies
