Oracle Cloud Secrets - 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 Oracle Cloud Secrets.

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

.NET Core C#

bool success = false;

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

Chilkat.Secrets bootstrap = new Chilkat.Secrets();

// This bootstrap secret will reside in memory.
bootstrap.Location = "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.
Chilkat.JsonObject json = new Chilkat.JsonObject();
json.UpdateString("appName","oracle_bs");
json.UpdateString("service","Example");
json.UpdateString("username","Joe");

// The bootstrap secret for Oracle Cloud Secrets is the PEM of your private key.
Chilkat.StringBuilder sbPem = new Chilkat.StringBuilder();
success = sbPem.LoadFile("qa_data/pem/oracle_cloud_privkey.pem","utf-8");
if (success == false) {
    Debug.WriteLine("Failed to load the private key PEM file.");
    return;
}

// The bootstrap secret for the Oracle Cloud Secrets will contain
// the private key PEM.
// The secret is stored encrypted in memory, and is available to be used
// regardless of the lifetime of the "bootstrap" object.
success = bootstrap.UpdateSecretSb(json,sbPem);
if (success == false) {
    Debug.WriteLine(bootstrap.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

Debug.WriteLine("The Oracle Cloud bootstrap secret has been stored in memory.");
