Just starting out with key vault and currently we have a key vault dedicated to a few certificates.

Is it possible to determine where a certificate is being used from within key vault?

    Hello @Lily , Thank you for reaching out. Unfortunately, there is no way to figure out where an AKV certificate is being used. The reason behind that is, you just keep your secrets, keys, and certificates in Azure Key Vault and access them programmatically using REST APIs only when needed. The AKV doesn't keep or maintain any records of where or how these objects (keys, secrets and certificates) stored in Key Vault are used.

    Hope this helps.

    Not sure if this is possible to identify from the AKV but you can try searching for AKV name or certificate name in the code repository where all the projects, solutions code deployed to Azure is saved
