Azure Key Vault Get the Latest Version of a Certificate

See more Azure Key Vault Examples

Demonstrates how to get the latest version of a certificate in Azure Key Vault.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.96 or later.

.NET Core C#

bool success = false;

// This requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

// See Azure Key Vault Get Certificates for a more detailed explanation
// for how Chilkat is automatically getting the OAuth2 access token for your application.

// Provide information needed for Chilkat to automatically get an OAuth2 access token as needed.
Chilkat.JsonObject json = new Chilkat.JsonObject();
json.UpdateString("client_id","APP_ID");
json.UpdateString("client_secret","APP_PASSWORD");
json.UpdateString("resource","https://vault.azure.net");
json.UpdateString("token_endpoint","https://login.microsoftonline.com/TENANT_ID/oauth2/token");

Chilkat.Http http = new Chilkat.Http();

// Instead of providing an actual access token, we give Chilkat the information that allows it to 
// automatically fetch the access token using the OAuth2 client credentials flow.
http.AuthToken = json.Emit();

// Replace VAULT_NAME with the name of your Azure Key Vault.
http.SetUrlVar("certName","importCert01");

// A sample JSON response is show at the bottom.

// Let's do two things with the result.
// 1) Load the DER of the cert into a Chilkat Cert object.
// 2) Get the Key Vault version id of the certificate.
