(Go) Easy Method to Import Certificate to Azure Key Vault

Demonstrates an easier method to import certificate with private key to an Azure key vault.

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

Chilkat Go Downloads Go Package for Windows, MacOS, Linux, Alpine Linux, Solaris

    cert := chilkat.NewCert()

    // The certificate must originate from a source where the private key material is available to be included
    // in the upload to Azure Key Vault.

    success := cert.LoadPfxFile("qa_data/pfx/myCert.pfx","pfx_password")
    if success == false {
        fmt.Println(cert.LastErrorText())
        cert.DisposeCert()
        return
    }

    json := chilkat.NewJsonObject()

    // Indicate this request is to upload to Azure Key Vault.
    json.UpdateString("service","azure-keyvault")

    // Provide your OAuth2 client credentials for your Azure App (service principal) that has
    // the required Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) permissions.
    json.UpdateString("auth.client_id","APP_ID")
    json.UpdateString("auth.client_secret","APP_PASSWORD")
    json.UpdateString("auth.tenant_id","TENANT_ID")

    // Indicate the key vault name
    json.UpdateString("vault_name","VAULT_NAME")

    // When you import a certificate into an Azure Key Vault, the certificate name and vault name are included as 
    // parts of the URL to specify the target location where the certificate should be stored. 
    // The URL follows a specific format to identify the target Key Vault and the certificate within it. 
    // Here's how the certificate name and vault name are incorporated into the URL:
    // https://VAULT_NAME.vault.azure.net//certificates/CERT_NAME/import?api-version=7.4

    // Specify an arbitrary certificate name, but one that can be used in a URL as shown above.  (i.e. alphanumeric with no SPACE chars)
    json.UpdateString("cert_name","CERT_NAME")

    // Add optional tags if desired. Tags can be anything you want.   
    json.UpdateString("tags.serial",cert.SerialNumber())
    json.UpdateString("tags.issuer",cert.IssuerCN())
    json.UpdateString("tags.subject",cert.SubjectCN())

    // OK.. everything is specified.  Simply call UploadToCloud.
    jsonOut := chilkat.NewJsonObject()
    jsonOut.SetEmitCompact(false)
    success = cert.UploadToCloud(json,jsonOut)
    if success == false {
        fmt.Println(cert.LastErrorText())
        fmt.Println(*jsonOut.Emit())
        cert.DisposeCert()
        json.DisposeJsonObject()
        jsonOut.DisposeJsonObject()
        return
    }

    // Success!  Go to the Azure portal and refresh to see the certificate has been uploaded.
    // The jsonOut provides the JSON response from the Azure server.
    fmt.Println(*jsonOut.Emit())
    fmt.Println("Success")
