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.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v10.1.0 or later.

// Important: Don't forget to include the call to System.loadLibrary

    CkSecrets bootstrap = new CkSecrets();

    //  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.put_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.
    CkJsonObject json = new CkJsonObject();
    json.UpdateString("appName","doppler_bs");

    //  The bootstrap secret for Doppler Secrets will contain
    //  your Doppler authentication token.
