1. Log in to the Azure portal (https://portal.azure.com/).
2. Navigate to the Azure Key Vault where the secrets are stored.
3. Select the secret that needs to be rotated.
4. Click on the “Current Version” tab.
5. Click on the “Generate/Import” button.
6. Enter the new secret value and click on “Create”.
7. Click on the “Save” button to save the new secret value.
8. Click on the “Versions” tab.
9. Select the previous version of the secret and click on “Disable”.
10. Click on the “Save” button to disable the previous version of the secret.

​

1. Login to your Azure account using Azure CLI by running the following command:

az login

2. Once you are logged in, you need to identify the secrets that are about to expire. You can do this by running the following command:

az keyvault secret list --vault-name <your-key-vault-name> --query "[?attributes.exp != null && attributes.exp < now()]"

3. Now that you have identified the secrets that need rotation, you can rotate them by creating new versions of the secrets with updated values. You can do this by running the following command:

az keyvault secret set --vault-name <your-key-vault-name> --name <your-secret-name> --value <your-new-secret-value>

4. Once you have created new versions of all the secrets that were about to expire, you can delete the old versions of the secrets by running the following command:

az keyvault secret delete --vault-name <your-key-vault-name> --name <your-secret-name> --version <your-old-secret-version>

5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for all the secrets that were about to expire.
6. Finally, you can verify that all the secrets have been rotated successfully by running the following command:

az keyvault secret list --vault-name <your-key-vault-name> --query "[?attributes.exp != null && attributes.exp < now()]"

1. Install the azure-identity and azure-keyvault-secrets packages using pip.
   Copy

   Ask AI

   pip install azure-identity azure-keyvault-secrets
   

2. Import the required libraries in your Python code.
   Copy

   Ask AI

   from azure.identity import DefaultAzureCredential
   from azure.keyvault.secrets import SecretClient
   from datetime import datetime, timedelta
   

3. Set up the authentication credentials using the DefaultAzureCredential class.
   Copy

   Ask AI

   credential = DefaultAzureCredential()
   

4. Create a SecretClient object using the Azure Key Vault URL and the authentication credentials.
   Copy

   Ask AI

   keyvault_url = "https://<your-key-vault-name>.vault.azure.net/"
   secret_client = SecretClient(vault_url=keyvault_url, credential=credential)
   

5. Retrieve the list of secrets from the Key Vault using the list_properties_of_secrets method of the SecretClient object.
   Copy

   Ask AI

   secrets = secret_client.list_properties_of_secrets()
   

6. Iterate over the list of secrets and check if any of them are about to expire (i.e., the expires_on property is less than the current time plus a buffer period). If a secret is about to expire, retrieve its current value using the get_secret method of the SecretClient object, update its value, and then set the updated value using the set_secret method of the SecretClient object.
   Copy

   Ask AI

   buffer_period = timedelta(days=7)  # Set a buffer period of 7 days
   for secret in secrets:
       if secret.expires_on <= datetime.utcnow() + buffer_period:
           secret_value = secret_client.get_secret(secret.name).value
           # Update the secret value here
           secret_client.set_secret(secret.name, secret_value)
   

7. Run the Python script periodically (e.g., daily) using a task scheduler or a cron job to ensure that secrets are rotated before they expire.
