如何在节点中使用 Azure 托管服务标识访问 Key Vault？

Question

I follow the instruction here to create an Managed Service Identity. So now in my environment variable, I have MSI_ENDPOINT and MSI_SECRET.

In my typescript (node.js) project, I imported the following project:

import {KeyVaultCredentials, KeyVaultClient} from "azure-keyvault";
import {AuthenticationContext, ErrorResponse, TokenResponse} from "adal-node";

If I wasn't using MSI, I could access my key vault using the following code:

let keyVaultCredentials = new KeyVaultCredentials(KeyVault.createAuthenticator(this.clientID, this.clientKey));
let keyVaultClient = new KeyVaultClient(keyVaultCredentials);
private static createAuthenticator(clientID: string, clientKey: string){
  return (challenge, callback) => {
  let context = new AuthenticationContext(challenge.authorization);
  return context.acquireTokenWithClientCredentials(
      challenge.resource,
      clientID,
      clientKey,
      function (err, tokenResponse:TokenResponse | ErrorResponse) {
          if (err) {
              CLogger.log("error", "Error occurred while acquiring token with key vault credentials: " + JSON.stringify(err));
              throw new Error("Error occurred while acquiring token with key vault credentials. Check log files");
          }
          if(<TokenResponse>tokenResponse){
              let authorizationValue = (<TokenResponse>tokenResponse).tokenType + " " + (<TokenResponse>tokenResponse).accessToken;
              return callback(null, authorizationValue);
          }
      });
  }
}

I have no idea how to get access token with MSI enabled, please help.

With the new Azure SDK for js, you can authenticate your application with managed service by implementing class DefaultAzureCredential from package @azure/identity.

 const {DefaultAzureCredential} = require('@azure/identity'); const {SecretClient} = require('@azure/keyvault-secrets'); const credential = new DefaultAzureCredential(); const vaultName = "<key-vault-name>"; const url = `https://${vaultName}.vault.azure.net`; const client = new SecretClient(url, credential); client.setSecret(secretName, "MySecretValue"); ........

It supports both service principal and managed identity authentication.

To run it on a local environment you must set three environment variables: AZURE_TENANT_ID, AZURE_CLIENT_ID and AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET to be able to connect with a service principal.

On Azure, if those variables are not defined, it will try to authenticate with managed identity.

There is a quickstart guide here .

Using the loginWithAppServiceMSI() method from ms-rest-azure will autodetect if you're on a WebApp and get the token from the MSI endpoint. Then, the code is simply:

function getKeyVaultCredentials(){
    return msRestAzure.loginWithAppServiceMSI({resource: 'https://vault.azure.net'});
}

function getKeyVaultSecret(credentials) {
    let keyVaultClient = new KeyVault.KeyVaultClient(credentials);
    return keyVaultClient.getSecret(KEY_VAULT_URI, 'secret', "");
}

getKeyVaultCredentials().then(
    getKeyVaultSecret
).then(function (secret){
    console.log(`Your secret value is: ${secret.value}.`);
}).catch(function (err) {
    throw (err);
});

I'd recommend checking the full documentation here
