Py3 Quick Vault Sample - Authenticates to Azure, retrieves a secret

 """

This script authenticates to Azure, retrieves a secret from Azure Key Vault,

and uses it to get host details.


Prerequisites:

  - Install the Azure SDK for Python:

    pip install azure-identity azure-keyvault-secrets

  - You need to have an Azure Key Vault created and the secret stored in it.

  - The user or service principal running this script needs to have the "Get"

    permission on the secret in the Key Vault.

        secret_name (str): The name of the secret in Azure Key Vault.

        # This is just a *simulation* using the secret. The actual command will depend

        # on your environment and what you are trying to achieve (e.g., connecting to

        # a remote server, calling an API, etc.).

        #

        # Example (replace with your *actual* command - this is a *non-working* example):

        # import subprocess

        # try:

        #     #  Use the secret_value here.  For example, if you were using ssh:

        #     result = subprocess.run(

        #         ['ssh', '-o', 'StrictHostKeyChecking=no', '-i', 'your_private_key',

        #          f'user@{hostname}', 'your_command'],

        #         input=f'password\n',  #  Provide the password via input redirection (if needed, and if safe)

        #         stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE, text=True, check=True

        #     )

        #     print(result.stdout)

        # except subprocess.CalledProcessError as e:

        #     print(f"Error running command: {e}")

        #     print(e.stderr)

        #

        # Another Example (if you were calling a REST API using the 'requests' library):

        # import requests

        # headers = {

        #     "Authorization": f"Bearer {secret_value}"  # Or "Basic {secret_value}" or whatever the API requires

        # }

        # response = requests.get("https://your-api-endpoint", headers=headers)

        # response.raise_for_status() # Raise an exception for bad status codes

        # print(response.json())

        #

        # For this *simulation*, we'll just output the secret length and a message:

        secret_length = len(secret_value)

        print(f"Simulated host details retrieval using secret (length: {secret_length}).")

        print(f"Secret Value (First 6 Characters): {secret_value[:6]}...")

        print("Note: This is a *simulation*. You must replace this with your *actual* command.")

        # End of simulation. Replace this with your real code.


        print("Successfully (simulated) retrieved host details.")


    except HttpResponseError as e:

        print(f"Error: {e}")

        print(f"  Error Code: {e.status_code}")

        print(f"  Error Message: {e.message}")

        exit(1)

    except Exception as e:

        print(f"An error occurred: {e}")

        exit(1)


if __name__ == "__main__":

    # Replace with your actual Key Vault name and secret name.

    key_vault_name = "your-key-vault-name"

    secret_name = "your-secret-name"
