> For the full documentation index, see: https://docs.mulesoft.com/llms.txt

Azure Key Vault Properties Provider is a configuration that enables you to retrieve your secrets
from a secure Azure cloud service before your Mule app runs.

For information about compatibility and fixed issues, refer to the Azure Key Vault Properties
Provider Release Notes.

## Before You Begin

To use this properties provider, you must be familiar with:

- The Azure Key Vault API

- Anypoint Connectors

- Mule runtime engine (Mule)

- Elements and global elements in a Mule flow

- How to create a Mule app using Anypoint Studio

Before creating an app, you must have:

- Mule Enterprise Edition

- Credentials to access the Azure Key Vault target resource

- Anypoint Platform

- Anypoint Studio or Anypoint Code Builder

## Common Use Cases for the Properties Provider

With Azure Key Vault Properties Provider, secrets can be retrieved in the pre-runtime phase, which
means secrets are populated before the Mule app is deployed.

## Connection Types

Connectors can use the Azure Key Vault Properties Provider in their configuration. In the
configuration, use the `${azure-key-vault-properties-provider::secret::yourSecret}` structure to
retrieve a secret from Azure Key Vault. Here is an example:
