Automating Access Token and Refresh Token Generation Using ADF and Azure Key Vault – Part 2

Power Platform - General

This blog is part 2 of a series on automating access token and refresh token generation using ADF and Azure Key Vault.
Assumptions include that request failures are due to expired tokens, access tokens expire after 60 minutes, and you have a non-expiring or long-expiring refresh token.
Steps to create a pipeline to refresh the access token involve setting up web activities to pull client ID, client secret, and refresh token, and using a web activity to refresh the access token and save it to the Azure Key Vault.
The body of the refresh token web activity includes grant_type=refresh_token&refresh_token=@{activity(‘Get Refresh Token’).output.value}.
The authorization for the refresh token web activity is Basic @{base64(concat(activity(‘Get Client Id’).output.value, ‘:’, activity(‘Get Client Secret’).output.value))}.
Another web activity is used to refresh the access token and save it to the Azure Key Vault with the body {"value": “@{activity(‘Refresh Access Token’).output.access_token}”.
The blog provides a guide to automating token management, reducing manual interventions, and maintaining secure access to resources using Azure Data Factory and Azure Key Vault.
