Doppler Secrets - 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 Doppler Secrets.

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.

loBootstrap = CreateObject('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
loBootstrap.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.
loJson = CreateObject('Chilkat.JsonObject')
loJson.UpdateString("appName","doppler_bs")
loJson.UpdateString("service","Example")
loJson.UpdateString("username","Joe")

* The bootstrap secret for Doppler Secrets will contain
* your Doppler authentication token.
* (Replace with your actual Doppler token.)
