# Azure Key Vault

You can integrate Prisma Cloud with Azure Key Vault. First configure Prisma Cloud to access your Key Vault, then create rules to inject the relevant secrets into their associated containers.

**Prerequisites:** You have [created a secret](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/key-vault/quick-create-portal#add-a-secret-to-key-vault) in Key Vault.

1. Create an Azure servicePrincipal in your Azure AD Tenant
   1. Use [AZ CLI](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cli/azure/install-azure-cli?view=azure-cli-latest) to create a servicePrincipal and obtain the json credential file.
   2. Authenticate to your Azure tenant.

      ```
      $ az login
      ```
   3. Create a servicePrincipal

      ```
      $ az ad sp create-for-rbac
      ```
   4. Save the resulting json output.+

      ```
      {
        "appId": "xxxxxxxx-xxxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxx",
        "displayName": "azure-cli-2018-11-01-xx-xx-xx",
        "name": "http://azure-cli-2018-11-01-xx-xx-xx",
        "password": "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
        "tenant": "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
      }
      ```
   5. In the Azure Key Vault, add the servicePrincipal to the **Access Policies** with the following permissions:

      ```
      secrets/get permission
      secrets/list permission
      ```
2. In the Prisma Cloud Console, go to **Manage > Authentication > Secrets**.
3. Click **Add store**.
   1. Enter a name for the vault. This name is used when you create rules to inject secrets into specific containers.
   2. For **Type**, select **Azure Key Vault**.
   3. For **Address**, enter **https\://\<vault-name>.vault.azure.net**. This address can be found in the Azure Key Vault’s properties in the *DNS Name* element.
   4. In **Credential**, click **Add new**.

      If you create a credential in the credentials store (**Manage > Authentication > Credentials store**), your service principal authenticates with a password.
   5. Enter a name for the credentials.
   6. In **Type**, select **Azure**.
   7. In **Service Key**, enter the JSON credentials returned from the *az ad sp create-for-rbac* command.
   8. Click **Save**.
   9. Click **Add**.

      After adding the new store, Prisma Cloud tries conecting to your vault. If it is successful, the dialog closes, and an entry is added to the table. Otherwise, any connection errors are displayed directly in the configuration dialog.

      Next, [inject a secret into a container](/admin-guide/32/secrets/inject-secrets.md).

# Agent Instructions

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.prismacloud.io/admin-guide/32/secrets/secrets-stores/azure-key-vault.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
