(DataFlex) Azure Key Vault Find Certificate

See more Azure Key Vault Examples

Let's say you have the certificate locally, but not with the private key. You only have the certificate, such as in a .cer file, but not the .pfx. The purpose of this example is to show how to find the same certificate in Azure Key Vault, and return the Azure Key Vault's name for the certificate.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.96 or later.
