Attributes

attributes
key
managed
tags

attributes

The key management attributes.

key

The JSON web key.

managed

True if the key’s lifetime is managed by key vault. If this is a key backing a certificate, then managed will be true.

Other Attributes

There are additional attributes that may be accessed that we have not documented. Please take a look at the Azure documentation. Any attribute in the response may be accessed with the key names separated by dots (.).

The API may not always return keys that do not have any associated data. There may be cases where the deeply nested property may not have the desired attribute along your call chain. If you find yourself writing tests against properties that may be nil, fork this resource pack and add an accessor to the resource. Within that accessor you’ll be able to guard against nil keys. Pull requests are always welcome.

Matchers

This InSpec audit resource has the following special matchers. For a full list of available matchers, please visit our Universal Matchers page.

Azure Permissions

Your Service Principal must be setup with a contributor role on the subscription you wish to test. Your Azure Key Vault should also have this Service Principal listed in it’s Access Policy with both keys/get and keys/list permissions.
