Unable to disable publicNetworkAccess through ARM template

Question

Hello,

I have created a keyvault using arm template and when I add in the properties section:

                  "properties": {  
                "sku": {  
                    "family": "A",  
                    "name": "Premium"  
                },  
                "networkAcls": {  
                    "bypass": "None",  
                    "defaultAction": "Deny",  
                    "ipRules": [],  
                    "virtualNetworkRules": []  
                },  
                "tenantId": "[parameters('tenantId')]",  
                "accessPolicies": [  
                    {  
                        "tenantId": "[parameters('tenantId')]",  
                        "objectId": "[parameters('objectId')]",  
                        "permissions": {  
                            "keys": [],  
                            "secrets": [ "List", "Get" ],  
                            "certificates": []  
                        }  
                    }  
                ],  
                "enabledForDeployment": false,  
                "enabledForDiskEncryption": false,  
                "enabledForTemplateDeployment": false,  
                "enableSoftDelete": true,  
                "softDeleteRetentionInDays": 7,  
                "enablePurgeProtection": true,  
                "enableRbacAuthorization": false,  
                "publicNetworkAccess": "Disabled"  
            }  
  

As you see the publicNetworkAccess is disabled but I see in portal that in fact the publicNetworkAccess is Allow public access from specific virtual networks and IP addresses

The keyvault is connected with a private endpoint.

Answer 1

Hi, this looks correct. Maybe the ARM template is a bit old. I would suggest creating a new deployment from Azure Portal and use a recent template.

"networkAcls": {
"bypass": "None",
"defaultAction": "Deny",
"ipRules": [],
"virtualNetworkRules": []
},
...
"provisioningState": "Succeeded",
"publicNetworkAccess": "Disabled"

Thank you for your post and I apologize for the delayed response!

I understand that you're having issues deploying a Key Vault using an ARM template and setting the publicNetworkAccess property to Disabled. I wasn't able to reproduce your issue but will share the steps I took to deploy my Key Vault via ARM template to hopefully help point you in the right direction.

To get a Key Vault ARM Template

• I created a new Key Vault
• Disabled Public Network Access
• Exported the Key Vault ARM Template - Note: Once the template finished generating, I copied the JSON.
  

--------------------------

Deploy Key Vault via ARM Template

• To deploy the template, I searched Deploy a custom template within the Azure Portal's search bar.
• Selected Build your own template in the editor
  
• Pasted the Key Vault Template
• Changed the Key Vault name and ensured public network access was disabled
• Deployed the template
• Once the template finished deploying, I navigated straight to the vault by selecting "Go to resource", and noticed that my public network access was disabled.
  

--------------------------

Key Vault ARM Template:

                            ]  
                        }
