IIS App Pool Identity – Can we use external account?

We are building an application with multiple microservices using .Net Core. In the startup code for each service, we fetch the configuration details such as database connection string from the azure key vault. While accessing the key vault, we are passing in the default azure credentials object.
Running the service from visual studio doesn’t cause any issues as I have already added my Azure Account in visual studio. However, there is an issue while trying to run the service by hosting it on IIS as I believe it is trying to access the key vault using IIS app pool identity account.

Are Failed Connections logged in IIS?

I have situations where we have web services deployed on customer sites and then encounter issues where clients fail to connect to them for reasons such as the port the service is running on has been blocked/not opened, certificate issues etc.

Binding SSL certificate to IIS rewrite

I have a rewrite that is working and doing what it should besides binding the SSL certificate.
Backend server is for instance http://internalsite:9000/xxxx.
ReWrite takes any http request and rewrites it to https firstly. And then it also looks for any https://app.domain.com/xxxxxx to the backend url.
