Properties

Property Type Description
customKeyIdentifier Binary A 40-character binary type that can be used to identify the credential. Optional. When not provided in the payload, defaults to the thumbprint of the certificate.
displayName String The friendly name for the key, with a maximum length of 90 characters. Longer values are accepted but shortened. Optional.
endDateTime DateTimeOffset The date and time at which the credential expires. The DateTimeOffset type represents date and time information using ISO 8601 format and is always in UTC time. For example, midnight UTC on Jan 1, 2014 is 2014-01-01T00:00:00Z.
key Binary Value for the key credential. Should be a Base64 encoded value. Returned only on $select for a single object, that is, GET applications/{applicationId}?$select=keyCredentials or GET servicePrincipals/{servicePrincipalId}?$select=keyCredentials; otherwise, it's always null.

From a .cer certificate, you can read the key using the Convert.ToBase64String() method. For more information, see Get the certificate key.
keyId Guid The unique identifier for the key.
startDateTime DateTimeOffset The date and time at which the credential becomes valid.The Timestamp type represents date and time information using ISO 8601 format and is always in UTC time. For example, midnight UTC on Jan 1, 2014 is 2014-01-01T00:00:00Z.

usage String A string that describes the purpose for which the key can be used; for example, None​, Verify​, PairwiseIdentifier​, Delegation​, Decrypt​, Encrypt​, HashedIdentifier​, SelfSignedTls, or Sign.

If usage is Sign​, the type should be X509CertAndPassword​, and the passwordCredentials​ for signing should be defined.
