In order for our organization to fully adopt Azure Key Vault for managing passwords and secrets we need to be able to support at a minimum allowing _ (underscrores) and other special characters in the naming convention as we have hundreds of names that contain underscores in them such as accounttest, accountprd, etc..

Reading through the documentation online I can't find any technical reason as to why special characters aren't supported but this is a show stopper at this point for us until this is added/supported.

Many of our vendors require us to send them files via SFTP using their public encryption keys most of which are PGP keys. As we start to migrate our Managed File Transfer service to Azure we'd like to leverage storing these keys in Azure Key Vault

When I generate a manual type secret, it's impossible to save the multiple lines' secret(SSH private key) value, in fact, I think the input box should take text area as an option.

Limitation - This provided key/secret/certificate backup file was from another subscription. Backups can only be restored into the same subscription.

This is required for customer controlled backup/restore control of TDE keys across subscriptions as there is no alternative way to migrate. This limits HA design for certain resources to be contained within a single subscription.

Allow feature via a flag or whitelist of subscriptions.

Microsoft docs highly recommends the keys/secrets/certificates to be rotated on regular interval for better security posture.

The rotation is only possible by writing powershell code and dont have luxury to write and maintain for every resource.

It would be great to have a feature in Key Vault to do that for us when a resource is connected. Resource could be PaaS SQL, Storage account, Azure Ad APP etc.

KeyVault talks about writing powershell code to recycle keys on storage account.

Currently, you can only back up each secret one at a time. I would like the ability to back all the secrets up and obviously, store them in an encrypted storage account or vault.

It’s important to know if keys / Secrets are updated in key vault so that necessary actions with consuming application can be taken when this occurs...

It would be nice to have the ability to specify the secret expiration date in UTC format instead of in seconds since 1970. I known we can set in the UTC format using powershell but it would be nice to have this option in the ARM template as well.

Portal experience for creating a Key Vault Managed Storage Account and/or for 'On-Boarding' a Storage Account into being managed by a given Key Vault Key

This is possible with PowerShell and AzureCLI (as described here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/key-vault/key-vault-ovw-storage-key) but there is not portal experience for doing this.

Originally mentioned in this Github Issue:

We request various secret values while initializing our service. The way we do it now is that we issue separate HTTP requests for each using the .NET SDK (GetSecretAsync). Ideally we should be able to request for multiple secrets using the same request.

I want to call an AKV API to generate a random password so that I could use that to update the applications credentials and then call the API to set the current secret value to that new password.

You can create multiple versions for a given secret, however the api only allows a delete to be performed at the secret level and not for an individual version.

We are creating a solution where multiple services (backend servers from different departments, ...), will use key vault to retreive their access keys. It would be great to be able to give a backend service access to only the relevant entry (e.g. only to secret1 and certificate2).
The problem is, that a user that has access (to secrets for example), automatically has access to all secrets.

In other words: Add access policies to secrets, keys and certificates

We are planning to use Azure key vault to maintain DB passwords used by microservices. As per standards, in Java Spring, the property name for DB password is "spring.datasource.password". We can store only one value with key corresponding to "spring.datasource.password" in an Azure vault. There might be 100s of microservices and maintaining each microservice with a key vault will be difficult.
Here's the issue from our customer: https://github.com/microsoft/azure-spring-boot/issues/763

Today, secrets are able to be added manually and via file, which from my knowledge only accepts one key value pair for the secret. It would be nice to have the ability to insert multiple secrets at once.

At the moment you can only add certificates, but there are many instances you may want to setup arbitrary pieces of 'secret' text like a password, connection string or other configuration information that can be retrieved securely from somewhere.

I would like to suggest this ability is added to Key Vault (I believe AWS has something similar called AWS Parameter Store)
