See more Secrets Examples

Demonstrates how to create or update a secret stored in the Azure Key Vault.

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:

    // Azure Tenant ID
    // Azure Client ID
    // Azure Client Secret

    // 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","azure_bs");
    bsId.UpdateString("service","Example");
    bsId.UpdateString("username","Joe");

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

    secrets.put_Location("azure_key_vault");
    success = secrets.SetBootstrapSecret(bsId,bootstrap);
    if (success == false) {
        std::cout << secrets.lastErrorText() << "\r\n";
        return;
    }

    // Create or update a secret in the Azure Key Vault.
    // (The secret is updated if it already exists.)
    CkJsonObject json;
    json.UpdateString("appName","Test");
    json.UpdateString("service","Something");
    json.UpdateString("domain","Xyz");
    json.UpdateString("username","Abc");

    // For Azure Key Vault, we also need to specify the name of the vault where the secret is to be stored.
    // Replace "kvChilkat" with the name of your key vault.
    json.UpdateString("vaultName","kvChilkat");

    // Create or update the secret.
    success = secrets.UpdateSecretStr(json,"This is the secret.");
    if (success == false) {
        std::cout << secrets.lastErrorText() << "\r\n";
        return;
    }

    std::cout << "Success." << "\r\n";

    // Here you can see the secret that was created:
