Name in private_service_connection block for azurerm_private_endpoint does not work

[dipendra-singh]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

Community Note

The name provided in the private_service_connection block is not respected when creating the privateEndpointConnections.
I created the private endpoint with private_service_connection block as following:

  location            = var.location
  name                = var.eventhub_pep_name
  resource_group_name = var.rg_name
  subnet_id           = var.eventhub_subnet_id

  private_service_connection {
    is_manual_connection           = true
    name                           = var.eventhub_pep_psc_name
    private_connection_resource_id = azurerm_eventhub_namespace.eventhub_namespace.id
    request_message                = "Please approve"
    subresource_names              = ["namespace"]
  }
}

but when I do

az network private-endpoint-connection list  -g <rg_name> -n <eventhub_namespace> --type Microsoft.EventHub/namespaces

I get some random string in the privateEndpointConnection's name field.

  name                = "eh-pep-name"
  resource_group_name = "myrg"
  subnet_id           = var.eventhub_subnet_id

  private_service_connection {
    is_manual_connection           = true
    name                           = "eh-pep-psc-name"
    private_connection_resource_id = azurerm_eventhub_namespace.eventhub_namespace.id
    request_message                = "Please approve"
    subresource_names              = ["namespace"]

Debug Output/Panic Output

[

    },
    "resourceGroup": "<rg>",
    "type": "Microsoft.EventHub/Namespaces/PrivateEndpointConnections"
  }
]

Expected Behaviour

name to have value var.eventhub_pep_psc_name

Actual Behaviour

name has random string in the privateEndpointConnection

Steps to Reproduce

1. Required: existing eventhub namespace, subnet, resource group.
2. import the namespace as data.
3. Replace a few field in the resource block mentioned above
4. apply terraform

Hi there and thank you for reporting this. I can't reproduce this to be honest. Did you try approving the connection? Potentially the name would be set after the approval? I have a ton of these all over the place, and name is set properly everywhere.

[dipendra-singh]

I get that the name might be set post approval, but what I am trying to do here is that I am trying to approve the private endpoints programatically. Ideally, if I am providing a name to an endpoint or a private_service_connection, it should be reflected in the resource and not wait for an approval.
