Azure Logic App Development in Portal vs Visual Studio
A funny thing happens when you move away from doing Prototype Azure Logic App all in the Portal to doing them in Visual Studio (where you are supposed to do Production develop). What’s funny… or is it annoying? Well, development life turns out is not the same. In the next few days I will be adding a small trip thought some things I notice between the two modes of development.

The Azure Vault, PGP, and other matters Part 3
Well if you are still hanging on… thanks and good job. We only have a bit more to go…. (you can go back to Part 1 or Part 2) Time to regroup as to where we are in the Big Picture: This is the flow of the Logic App. In Part 2 we just finished up the GetKeys block… so onto the Decryptor…. Some more code of course as this is another Azure Function…. public static class MHKPGPDecryptor { [FunctionName("MHKPGPDecryptor")] public static async Task<IActionResult> Run( [HttpTrigger(AuthorizationLevel.Function, "get", "post", Route = null)] HttpRequest req, ILogger log) { log.LogInformation($"C# HTTP trigger function {nameof(MHKPGPDecryptor)} processed a request."); string vaultKey = req.Query["privatekeysecretid"]; string useVault =…

At this point I gather you have created your vault and placed the middle contents of the PGP Key file into the secrets value…. Drilling into my Secret: We are going to use parts of this detail to pass along to the Get Keys Azure function – as a reminder we are here: My Azure function takes three values: SecretName, SecretVersion, and VaultPath. These values come from the URL that you find on the Secret Detail shown above. https://<VaultPath>.vault..net/secrets/<SecretName>/<SecretVersion> From the Overview of your…

The Azure Vault, PGP, and other matters Part 1
Let’s step back into cloud space for a moment. I had this challenge to see if I could do some decrypting of partner files. A simple matter, well yes and no (it does have some interesting parts to deal with). First off, the files encrypted here are with PGP. Now this type of file protecting is not hard once you’ve gained an understanding of how to create and use keys. I’m not going to go into the deep end around PGP. There’s plenty of that for you to find on the internet. But I will need to mention a matter or two about how PGP key files are formatted and…
