Examples
Example 1: Modify the value of a secret using default attributes
PS C:\> $Secret = ConvertTo-SecureString -String 'Password' -AsPlainText -Force
PS C:\> Set-AzureKeyVaultSecret -VaultName 'Contoso' -Name 'ITSecret' -SecretValue $Secret

Tags :The first command converts a string into a secure string by using the ConvertTo-SecureString
cmdlet, and then stores that string in the $Secret variable. For more information, type Get-Help ConvertTo-SecureString.
The second command modifies value of the secret named ITSecret in the key vault named Contoso. The
secret value becomes the value stored in $Secret.
Example 2: Modify the value of a secret using custom attributes
PS C:\> $Secret = ConvertTo-SecureString -String 'Password' -AsPlainText -Force
PS C:\> $Expires = (Get-Date).AddYears(2).ToUniversalTime()
PS C:\> $NBF =(Get-Date).ToUniversalTime()
PS C:\> $Tags = @{ 'Severity' = 'medium'; 'IT' = 'true'}
PS C:\> $ContentType = 'txt'
PS C:\> Set-AzureKeyVaultSecret -VaultName 'Contoso' -Name 'ITSecret' -SecretValue $Secret -Expires $Expires -NotBefore $NBF -ContentType $ContentType -Disable -Tags $Tags
