Azure Key Vault x Alteryx Designer

[jackersantos]

Has someone ever tried to connect to an azure key vault using alteryx designer? I was hoping to get some clarification on how to start with it.

hey @jackersantos 

From what i can tell, this hasn't been documented anywhere (Alteryx connecting with Key Vault), however, uses of Alteryx connecting to Azure services are abundant.

They typically follow the API documentation given by Azure - so this is where i would suggest is the best place to start:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/keyvault/

Hope this helps,

Hi @jackersantos 

Even I'm having a requirement to fetch the password from Azure Key vault.

Please let me know if you have any approach or progress on this ?

Hi @Mahadeva  I haven't had any news regarding this subject. No success connecting key vault to alteryx.

Hi @jackersantos 

I was able to establish connection with Azure Key vault and fetch the secure value/password stored using the Bearer access token authentication method and its working fine.

You can let me know your authentication method set or to be used in order to pull from your Azure key vault. I might be able to provide you with the approach.

Below is the approach i found online using the Postman. I converted and implemented the same approach using Alteryx download tool.

Hi Mahadeva,

Could you please share a sample workflow which you have converted?

I'm trying to fetch my keys saved in azure key vault using Alteryx.

Hi @Namshad 

Attaching the steps that I have converted into a re-usable macro. You can just pass the Parameter values for the variables in the macro input via the parent workflow.
