Lua Requires Chilkat v10.1.0+

Doppler Secrets - Setup Bootstrap Secret in Local Manager

See more Secrets Examples

Accessing a cloud-based secrets manager requires authentication credentials, which cannot be stored in the manager itself. Instead, they must be securely stored locally.

One solution is to store the authentication credentials as a secret in the Windows Credentials Manager or Apple Keychain. These credentials serve as the "bootstrap secret" for authenticating with the cloud-based secrets manager.

This example demonstrates how to setup a bootstrap secret for the Doppler Secrets.

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()

-- We're going to store the bootstrap secret in the local manager.
-- On Windows, this is the Windows Credentials Manager
-- On MacOS/iOS, it is the Apple Keychain
bootstrap.location = "local_manager"

-- 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", "doppler_bs")
json:update_string("service", "Example")
json:update_string("username", "Joe")

-- The bootstrap secret for Doppler Secrets will contain
-- your Doppler authentication token.
-- (Replace with your actual Doppler token.)
local success = bootstrap:update_secret_str(json, "dp.pt.uhcGAChAtpBkImhjT2xjwhdyG7rMJp75eEl4WAAAyUfc")
if not success then
    print(bootstrap.last_error_text)
    return
end

print("The Doppler bootstrap secret has been stored in the local manager.")
