Question

I am trying to run the script GetAppConfigSettings.ps1 from Microsoft docs help setting up a Key Vault

The script contains the following

# **********         


        

Answer 1

Microsoft support helped me out with this line

$myCertThumbprint = (New-SelfSignedCertificate -CertStoreLocation Cert:\CurrentUser\My
-subject MyCert -KeyExportPolicy Exportable -NotAfter (Get-Date).AddYears(10) 
-Type CodeSigningCert -KeySpec Signature).Thumbprint

The AuthClientId and AuthCertThumbprint values I need for the HelloKeyVault app.config are created.

The AuthClientId displays in the portal as the Application ID and is vissible in the Registered app settings.

To get to it click Azure Active Directory -> App registrations Then click View all applications click on the application then settings

To see the Thumbprint doe the same and then click Keys

I can see AuthClientId
