hey, can you please help with this task?
Description says to create “a symmetric key”, but symmetric keys seem to be supported only with managed HSM key vault… only asymmetric keys (RSA and EC) can be created in the standard vault.
So after creating RSA key pair, encrypting the plaintext with ‘az keyvault key encrypt …’ command and saving ciphertext to the file (base64 encoded), validation is failing without any helpful output.
But from my end the ciphertext can be decrypted using ‘az keyvault key decrypt’ successfully…
Is this the expected approach to solve this task or I misunderstood the task completely ?
Thanks in advance!
I also can’t pass this lab.
@raymond.baoly Could you please help to check it?
Hi,
Could you please share a screenshot or the full error message? I’m trying to check the task, and if there’s a problem, I may need to redo it.
I’m getting the error below, are you seeing the same one?
Yes, actually the same error
yes, that is the error I’m receiving
Thank you guys, for confirming. There seems to be an issue with the validation, which is causing this error. I’ve forwarded it to the team, and we will investigate it.

Hi guys,
The task is updated, I’ve just tried it and worked as expected, please try again!
Hi Raymond.
Was able to pass this lab.
Thank you for your help.
The lab can be passed with the above mentioned solution now, but (in my opinion) it does not match task instruction saying to “base64 encode the ciphertext and save…”
The above solution is doing the opposite (base64 decode the ciphertext)
I think (following strictly the lab instructions) that this solution is correct:
Hi peteruller,
Thanks for your feedback. Let me get this check.
Hi peteruller,
I agree with you. We don’t need to use base64 --decode after encrypting and getting the result. I’ve forwarded it to the team.
Hi peteruller,
Thanks for your valuable feedback. The task is updated.
