Get Azure KeyVault Secrets from the KeyVault to an App Service using ARM Templates

In the Microsoft KeyVault resource I have a secret:

        {
          "type": "secrets",
          "apiVersion": "2016-10-01",
          "name": "mongodb",
          "location": "[resourceGroup().location]",
          "dependsOn": [
            "[resourceId('Microsoft.KeyVault/vaults', variables('vault').name)]"
          ],
          "properties": {
            "attributes": {
              "enabled": true
            },
            "value": "[listConnectionStrings(resourceId('Microsoft.DocumentDB/databaseAccounts', parameters('cosmosAccountName')), '2019-12-12').connectionStrings[0].connectionString]"
          }
        }

I want to extract this value and store it in a key-value pair in an App Service.

        "siteConfig": {
          "appSettings": [
            {
              "name": "COSMOS_CONNECTION_STRING",
              "value": ""
            }
          ]
        }

They are in the same resource group.

How do I get the value out of the keyvault?

First you need to give the App Service permission to read the keys from the KeyVault, which is done by creating an Access Policy.

This is done by:

 {
      "type": "Microsoft.KeyVault/vaults/accessPolicies",
      "apiVersion": "2016-10-01",
      "name": "[concat( variables('vault').name, '/replace')]",
      "dependsOn": [
        "[resourceId('Microsoft.KeyVault/vaults', variables('vault').name)]",
      ],
      "properties": {
        "accessPolicies": [
          {
            "tenantId": "[subscription().tenantId]",
            "objectId": "[reference(resourceId('Microsoft.Web/sites', variables('AppService').name), '2016-08-01', 'Full').identity.principalId]",
            "permissions": {
              "keys": [
              ],
              "secrets": [
                "Get",
                "List"
              ],
              "certificates": []
            }
          }
        ]
      }
    }

Then you can access the secret key by:

@Microsoft.KeyVault(VaultName=myvault;SecretName=mysecret)

Where myvault is the name of your vault and mysecret is the name of your secret key

This will create a KeyVault Reference.
