Azure Key Vault - 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 Azure Key Vault.

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

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

$oBootstrap = ObjCreate("Chilkat.Secrets")

; 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
$oBootstrap.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.

$oJson.UpdateString("appName","azure_bs")

; The bootstrap secret for the Azure Key Vault will contain
; the tenant_id, client_id, and client_secret, like this:
$oJsonSecret = ObjCreate("Chilkat.JsonObject")
; Modify to your values.
$oJsonSecret.UpdateString("tenant_id","YOUR_TENANT_ID")
$oJsonSecret.UpdateString("client_id","YOUR_CLIENT_ID")
$oJsonSecret.UpdateString("client_secret","YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET")

; Create or update the bootstrap secret.

    ConsoleWrite($oBootstrap.LastErrorText & @CRLF)
