# Bug Reports
## `@azure/keyvault-certificates` — `CertificateClient.importCertificate` silently drops `policy.contentType`
**Package:** `@azure/keyvault-certificates`
**Confirmed versions:** 4.10.3, current `main` branch
**Source file:** `sdk/keyvault/keyvault-certificates/src/index.ts`
**Serializer file:** `sdk/keyvault/keyvault-certificates/src/models/models.ts`
---
### Summary
`CertificateClient.importCertificate()` accepts `ImportCertificateOptions.policy.contentType` as part of its public API but never sends it to Azure. The value is silently dropped due to a key name mismatch between the high-level client and the generated REST serializer. As a result, Azure falls back to the existing stored policy for that certificate name. When that policy specifies a different format than the bytes being imported (e.g. importing PFX into a certificate previously stored as PEM), Azure rejects the request with:
> `The specified PEM X.509 certificate content is in an unexpected format.`
---
### Root Cause
In `index.ts`, `importCertificate` builds the parameters object for the low-level generated client by spreading `updatedOptions`:
```typescript
const result = await this.client.importCertificate(
certificateName,
{
base64EncodedCertificate,
preserveCertOrder: updatedOptions.preserveCertificateOrder,
...updatedOptions, // contributes: policy, password, tags, ...
},
updatedOptions,
);
```
The spread adds the property as `policy` (the public API name from `ImportCertificateOptions`).
In `models/models.ts`, the generated serializer reads a **different** key name:
```typescript
export function certificateImportParametersSerializer(item: CertificateImportParameters): any {
return {
value: item["base64EncodedCertificate"],
pwd: item["password"],
policy: !item["certificatePolicy"] // reads "certificatePolicy", not "policy"
? item["certificatePolicy"]
: certificatePolicySerializer(item["certificatePolicy"]),
attributes: !item["certificateAttributes"]
? item["certificateAttributes"]
: certificateAttributesSerializer(item["certificateAttributes"]),
tags: item["tags"],
preserveCertOrder: item["preserveCertOrder"],
};
}
```
`item["certificatePolicy"]` is always `undefined` because the spread only populated `item["policy"]`. The REST body is sent with `policy: null`, regardless of what the caller specified.
**Note:** `password` is not affected — it is read as `item["password"]` which matches the spread key and is correctly transmitted.
**Note:** The Python SDK does not have this bug — it uses a different serialization architecture.
---
### Effect
`ImportCertificateOptions.policy` is effectively a no-op. Any value passed is ignored. The observable consequence:
- Importing a certificate for the first time works, because Azure auto-detects the format from the bytes (PEM headers are recognisable; PFX ASN.1 magic bytes may also be detected).
- Importing a **new version** of an existing certificate in a **different format** fails: Azure validates the incoming bytes against the stored policy's `content_type`, which no longer matches.
---
### Reproduction
```typescript
import { DefaultAzureCredential } from "@azure/identity";
import { CertificateClient } from "@azure/keyvault-certificates";
import { readFileSync } from "fs";
const credential = new DefaultAzureCredential();
const client = new CertificateClient(
"https://<YOUR_VAULT>.vault.azure.net",
credential,
);
// Step 1: import a PEM certificate (works — Azure auto-detects PEM)
const pemBytes = Buffer.from(readFileSync("cert.pem", "utf8"));
await client.importCertificate("MyCert", pemBytes, {
policy: { contentType: "application/x-pem-file" },
});
// Step 2: import the same certificate as PFX (fails — policy.contentType is dropped,
// Azure uses existing PEM policy and rejects the binary PFX bytes)
const pfxBytes = readFileSync("cert.pfx");
await client.importCertificate("MyCert", pfxBytes, {
password: "pfx-password",
policy: { contentType: "application/x-pkcs12" },
});
// ^ throws: "The specified PEM X.509 certificate content is in an unexpected format."
```
---
### Fix
In `sdk/keyvault/keyvault-certificates/src/index.ts`, explicitly map the public `policy` field to the internal `certificatePolicy` key after the spread:
```typescript
// BEFORE
const result = await this.client.importCertificate(
certificateName,
{
base64EncodedCertificate,
preserveCertOrder: updatedOptions.preserveCertificateOrder,
...updatedOptions,
},
updatedOptions,
);
// AFTER
const result = await this.client.importCertificate(
certificateName,
{
base64EncodedCertificate,
preserveCertOrder: updatedOptions.preserveCertificateOrder,
...updatedOptions,
certificatePolicy: updatedOptions.policy, // map public name → serializer key
},
updatedOptions,
);
```
No changes required to the serializer, the public `ImportCertificateOptions` interface, or any other file.
---
### Test
Place in `sdk/keyvault/keyvault-certificates/test/` alongside the existing import tests. The test intercepts the outgoing HTTP request and asserts that `policy.secret_props.content_type` is present in the body.
```typescript
import { assert } from "@azure/test-utils";
import { CertificateClient } from "../../src/index.js";
import { createTestCredential } from "@azure-tools/test-credential";
import { HttpClient, PipelineRequest, PipelineResponse } from "@azure/core-rest-pipeline";
function makeFakeResponse(): PipelineResponse {
return {
status: 200,
headers: { get: () => "application/json", set: () => {}, has: () => true, delete: () => {}, toJSON: () => ({}) } as any,
bodyAsText: JSON.stringify({
id: "https://vault.azure.net/certificates/MyCert/abc123",
cer: Buffer.alloc(0).toString("base64"),
attributes: { enabled: true },
policy: {
secret_props: { contentType: "application/x-pkcs12" },
issuer: { name: "Unknown" },
},
}),
request: null as any,
};
}
it("importCertificate sends policy.contentType in the REST body", async () => {
let capturedBody: any;
const fakeHttpClient: HttpClient = {
sendRequest: async (request: PipelineRequest): Promise<PipelineResponse> => {
capturedBody = JSON.parse(request.body as string);
return makeFakeResponse();
},
};
const client = new CertificateClient(
"https://fakevault.vault.azure.net",
createTestCredential(),
{ httpClient: fakeHttpClient },
);
const pfxBytes = Buffer.from("fakepfxbytes");
await client.importCertificate("MyCert", pfxBytes, {
password: "secret",
policy: { contentType: "application/x-pkcs12" },
});
assert.isDefined(
capturedBody?.policy?.secret_props?.contentType,
"policy.secret_props.contentType must be present in the REST body",
);
assert.strictEqual(
capturedBody.policy.secret_props.contentType,
"application/x-pkcs12",
"contentType must match the value passed in ImportCertificateOptions.policy",
);
});
```
