I am trying to use secret store component with Azure Keyvault in my Azure Kubernetes Cluster. I setup exactly following the "https://docs.dapr.io/reference/components-reference/supported-secret-stores/azure-keyvault/" but I am not able to retrieve the secrets. When I change the secretstore to local file or kubernetes secrets everything works fine. With Azure key vault I am getting the following error:
{
"errorCode": "ERR_SECRET_GET",
"message": "failed getting secret with key {keyName} from secret store {storename}: azure.BearerAuthorizer#WithAuthorization: Failed to refresh the Token for request to https://{vault url}/secrets/{secret key}/?api-version=2016-10-01: StatusCode=404 -- Original Error: adal: Refresh request failed. Status Code = '404'. Response body: getting assigned identities for pod {podname} in CREATED state failed after 16 attempts, retry duration [5]s. Error: <nil>\n"
}
I verified that the Client secret I am using is correct. Can anyone please point me to right direction ?
The error indicates that the service principal does not have access to get the secrets from the key vault
You can use System Assigned Managed Identity for the AKS pod and add the access policy to read the key vault secrets
Also, you can use Service Principal with access policy to read the key vault secrets or Key Vault Crypto Officer role so that you can fetch the key vault secrets

I have a docker container that accesses azure key vault. this works when I run it locally.
I set up an azure web app to host my container, and it cannot access the key vault
Forbidden (HTTP 403). Failed to complete operation. Message:

I followed the suggestion from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QIXbyInGXd8 and
I went to the web app in the portal to set status to on

and then receive the same error with a different ip

My web app ip address would change every time an update were made, so are there any suggestions how to overcome this?
It might depend on your exact use case and what you want to achieve with your tests, but you could consider using a test double instead of the real Azure Key Vault while running your app locally or on CI.
If you are interested please feel free to check out Lowkey Vault.
I found solution by setting up a virtual network,
and then whitelisting it in the keyvault access rights
I put a serviceAccount.json in google secret manager, and I want to build am api service by Fastapi, a python web framework.
I mounted secret as a disk ,I want to read it from my file,but it reply no such file....plz anyone help me?
Never store JSON service account keys in Google Secret Manager. If your workload is running in Cloud Run, you should use the service identity to grant permissions https://cloud.google.com/run/docs/securing/service-identity.
I have a Dockerfile which has used to build a node project and run the "az login --service-principal" command. In this node project, it will retrieve the secret value from Azure Key Vault.
I try to run this docker image locally and it can successfully return the secret I set on Azure Key Vault. However, after I deploy the same docker image to AKS, it returns 403 forbidden error. Why would it happen?
I understand that I may not use this method to get authenticated to Azure Key Vault, but why it fails?
403 forbidden error means that the request was authenticated (it knows the requesting identity) but the identity does not have permission to access the requested resource. There are two causes:
There is no access policy for the identity.
The IP address of the requesting resource is not approved in the key
vault's firewall settings.
As you are able to access the key vault from your local, it means the error is because of the key vault's firewall settings
Check your Azure Key Vault networking settings. If you allowed access from selected networks, make sure to add AKS VMSS scale set virtual network in the selected networks
Now, you would be able to access key vault secrets from your AKS pod
Azure Container Instance is deployed in VNET and I want to store my keys and other sensitive variables in Key Vault and somehow access to it. I found in documentation, it's currently limitation to use managed identities once ACI is in VNET.
Is there another way to bypass this identities and to use Key Vault?
I'm trying to avoid environment variables and secret volumes, because this container will be scheduled to run every day, which means there will be some script with access to all secrets and I don't want to expose them in script.
to access the Azure Key Vault you will need to have access to a Token, are you ok storing this token into a k8s secret ?
If you are, then any SKD or CURL command could be use to leverage the Rest API of the Key Vault to retrieve the secret at run time : https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/keyvault/
If you don't want to use secret/volumes to store the token for AKV it would be best to bake in your token in your container Image and maybe rebuild your image everyday with a new token that you could manage its access I AKS at the same time within your CI process
Amazon SQS throughing following error:
Error: InvalidClientTokenId: The security token included in the request is invalid
I am using environment variable AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY to create the session. Both key and secret are valid. I found the following URL regarding this issue:
https://aws.amazon.com/premiumsupport/knowledge-center/security-token-expired/
It says:
All application API requests to Amazon Web Services (AWS) must be cryptographically signed using credentials issued by AWS.
If your application uses temporary credentials when creating an AWS client (such as an AmazonSQS client), the credentials expire at the time interval specified during their creation. You must make sure that the credentials are refreshed before they expire."
Do credentials created through environment variables(AWS_KEY and AWS_SECRET) requires them to refresh? Or what is the default credentials expiry limit created through environment variables?
The same thing was happening with me when I discovered that the application was using the values for AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY which were old and had been rotated. Switching to the latest credentials from AWS fixed this for me.
