setting up azure ad certificate auth using powershell

Question

I am attempting to setup an Azure AD application to authenticate using a certificate. I have been using this guide to successfully set this up after failing following this guide.

I wish to now automate the process so it can be added to our general build scripts, looking at the docs for the New-AzureADApplication command it includes a parameter set(ApplicationWithKeyCredentialParameterSet) that takes a PSADKeyCredential. using this to create an application and then downloading the metadata gives me the following

"keyCredentials": [
{
  "customKeyIdentifier": null,
  "endDate": "2015-12-31T11:00:00Z",
  "keyId": "586b4d3e-84cf-43ec-a913-a33ef5075fdc",
  "startDate": "2004-12-31T12:00:00Z",
  "type": "AsymmetricX509Cert",
  "usage": "Verify",
  "value": null
}

]

If I use the ApplicationWithKeyPlainParameterSet I get the same result. Does anyone know why I am getting a null Value field? If there is a different way I should be setting up the certificates I'm open to changing my process.

The 'value' field for the key credentials is always returned as 'null' for applications and service principals.

You're correct, despite the metadata returning null for the 'value' the credentials are added successfully.
