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.

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

; See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

$oBootstrap = ObjCreate("Chilkat.Secrets")

; This secret will reside in 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.
