How to Copy All Secrets from Source Key Vault to Destination Key Vault Using PowerShell

Managing secrets in Azure Key Vault is crucial for maintaining the security of your applications. Sometimes, you may need to copy secrets from one Key Vault to another. This guide will walk you through the process of copying all secrets from a Source Key Vault (SourceKV) to a Destination Key Vault (DestinationKV) using PowerShell.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have the following:

• Azure PowerShell module installed. You can install it using:Install-Module -Name Az -AllowClobber -Scope CurrentUser
• Appropriate permissions to access both the SourceKV and DestinationKV.
• Azure account credentials.

Step-by-Step Guide

Login to Azure First, log in to your Azure account using the following command:

Connect-AzAccount

Set the Source and Destination Key Vault Names Define the names of your SourceKV and DestinationKV:

$sourceKV = "SourceKVName" $destinationKV = "DestinationKVName"

Retrieve Secrets from SourceKV Get all the secrets from the SourceKV:

$secrets = Get-AzKeyVaultSecret -VaultName $sourceKV
foreach ($secret in $secrets) {
    $secretValue = (Get-AzKeyVaultSecret -VaultName $sourceKV -Name $secret.Name).SecretValueText
    Set-AzKeyVaultSecret -VaultName $destinationKV -Name $secret.Name -SecretValue (ConvertTo-SecureString $secretValue -AsPlainText -Force)
}

Conclusion

By following these steps, you can efficiently copy all secrets from one Azure Key Vault to another using PowerShell. This method ensures that your secrets are securely transferred and available in the new Key Vault without manual intervention.
