Lua Requires Chilkat v10.1.0+

Azure Key Vault - Setup Bootstrap Secret in Memory

See more Secrets Examples

Accessing a cloud-based secrets manager requires authentication credentials, which cannot be stored within the secrets manager itself.

This example shows how to set up an in-memory bootstrap secret with authentication credentials which will be used in other examples to access Azure Key Vault.

Lua

local chilkat = require("chilkat")

-- This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
-- See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

local bootstrap = chilkat.Secrets.new()

-- This secret will reside in memory.
bootstrap.location = "memory"

-- Specify the name of the bootstrap secret.
-- service and username are required.
-- appName and domain are optional.
-- Note: The values are arbitrary and can be anything you want.
local json = chilkat.JsonObject.new()
json:update_string("appName", "azure_bs")
json:update_string("service", "Example")
json:update_string("username", "Joe")

-- The bootstrap secret for the Azure Key Vault will contain
-- the tenant_id, client_id, and client_secret, like this:
local jsonSecret = chilkat.JsonObject.new()
-- Modify to your values.
jsonSecret:update_string("tenant_id", "YOUR_TENANT_ID")
jsonSecret:update_string("client_id", "YOUR_CLIENT_ID")
jsonSecret:update_string("client_secret", "YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET")

-- Create or update the bootstrap secret (in memory).
-- The secret is stored encrypted in memory, and is available to be used
-- regardless of the lifetime of the "bootstrap" object.
local success = bootstrap:update_secret_json(json, jsonSecret)
if not success then
    print(bootstrap.last_error_text)
    return
end

print("The Azure bootstrap secret has been stored in memory.")
