AWS Secrets Manager - Delete a Secret

See more Secrets Examples

Demonstrates how to delete a secret from the AWS Secrets Manager. When an AWS secret is "deleted", it is disabled and scheduled for deletion in 7 or more days.

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

C++

#include <CkSecrets.h>
#include <CkJsonObject.h>

void ChilkatSample(void)
    {
    bool success = false;

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

    // The bootstrap secret will contain the following information:

    // AWS Region
    // AWS Access Key
    // AWS Secret Key

    // See following examples for setting up a bootstrap secret in memory, 
    // or in the local manager (Windows Credentials Manager or Apple Keychain)
    // Setup Bootstrap Secret in Local Manager
    // Setup Bootstrap Secret in Memory
    CkSecrets bootstrap;

    // Set the location of the bootstrap secret.
    // Can be "local_manager" or "memory", depending on how you setup the bootstrap secret.
    // ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    // If your operating system is NOT Windows or MacOS/iOS, then change "local_manager" to "memory"
    // You can also, if desired, use "memory" on Windows and MacOS/iOS if your bootstrap secret was previously setup in memory.
    // ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    bootstrap.put_Location("local_manager");

    // Specify the bootstrap secret to be used.
    CkJsonObject bsId;
    bsId.UpdateString("appName","AWS");
    bsId.UpdateString("service","Example");
    bsId.UpdateString("username","Joe");

    // ----------------------------------------------------
    CkSecrets secrets;

    // Setup for the AWS Secrets Manager
    secrets.put_Location("aws_secrets_manager");
    success = secrets.SetBootstrapSecret(bsId,bootstrap);
    if (success == false) {
        std::cout << secrets.lastErrorText() << "\r\n";
        return;
    }

    // Specify the secret to be deleted.
    CkJsonObject json;
    json.UpdateString("appName","Test2");
    json.UpdateString("service","Custom");
    json.UpdateString("domain","Ocean");
    json.UpdateString("username","Starfish");

    success = secrets.DeleteSecret(json);
    if (success == false) {
        std::cout << secrets.lastErrorText() << "\r\n";
        return;
    }

    std::cout << "Secret disabled and scheduled for deletion." << "\r\n";
    }
