title: Azure Managed Storage account keys
body: <p>I am trying to use Azure Managed storage account keys. I succeeded in setting up a managed storage account with 1 day regeneration period for testing purposes. My questions are</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li><p>Is it possible for me to access this storage account from any other application e.g  Storage Explorer, Cloud Explorer, Power BI Desktop etc. If yes, how to get the key? </p></li>
  <li><p>I still see keys for this storage account in azure portal. Are they invalid ? or will they change every time keyvault regenerates keys for this storage account?</p></li>
  <li><p>I had set <code>-ActiveKeyName Key2</code>. Each time i regenerate the key <code>Key1</code> is being regenerated. If <code>Key1</code> is regenerated then is <code>Key2</code> still valid even after 1 day? This active key concept is not so clear in the documentation. Can someone explain it.</p></li>
  <li><p>Is <code>Sas token</code> the only way to get access to storage account resources. I just want to have full access to storage account for the regeneration period. is it possible without using <code>Sas token</code>?</p></li>
  <li><p>I created <code>SAS Definition</code> from powershell and create <code>SAS token</code> out of it whenever i want to access Storage account. I think <code>SAS Token</code> would be invalidated but not <code>SAS Definion</code>. I am assuming i don't have to handle expiry in the code because i always get new <code>SAS Token</code>. Am i doing it correctly?</p></li>
