The property is invisible in the Azure Portal and must be configured through PowerShell using Invoke-AzRestMethod with a PATCH request. Includes full PowerShell script, prerequisite setup, and post-deployment validation steps.

  • keyVaultReferenceIdentity is hidden from Azure Portal and requires ARM-level PATCH
  • Full PowerShell script constructs identity URL and applies configuration via Invoke-AzRestMethod
  • Post-fix validation requires App Service restart to reload identity configuration
