AzureKeyVault cannot authenticate from databricks rstudio

Question

We have been using rstudio provided by Azure Databricks. We are trying to use AzureKeyVault library and call the secrets and keys from Key vault in Azure. It works fine when I run it from local rstudio but it doesn't work when I call the Keyvault from rstudio in databricks.

library(AzureKeyVault)
vault <- key_vault("https://mykeyvault.vault.azure.net")

We are not sure if its a databricks issue or something else?? Has anyone every tried to authenticate the keyvault from databricks rstudio???

We have been trying this since last week

Answer 1

Firstly, you need to create a secret scope

There DNS name is Vault URI in Key vault (In Creating Scope).

Then execute below code:

%r
    l <- as.list(dbutils.secrets.get(scope = 'rithwik', key = 'Rithwik-key'))
    y <- sub("\\s+$", "", gsub('(.{1})', '\\1 ', x))
    y
