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.

Objective-C

#import <CkoSecrets.h>
#import <CkoJsonObject.h>
#import <CkoStringBuilder.h>

BOOL success = NO;

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

CkoSecrets *bootstrap = [[CkoSecrets alloc] init];

//  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.
CkoJsonObject *json = [[CkoJsonObject alloc] init];
[json UpdateString: @"appName" value: @"oracle_bs"];
[json UpdateString: @"service" value: @"Example"];
[json UpdateString: @"username" value: @"Joe"];

//  The bootstrap secret for Oracle Cloud Secrets is the PEM of your private key.
CkoStringBuilder *sbPem = [[CkoStringBuilder alloc] init];
success = [sbPem LoadFile: @"qa_data/pem/oracle_cloud_privkey.pem" charset: @"utf-8"];
if (success == NO) {
    NSLog(@"%@",@"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 sb: sbPem];
if (success == NO) {
    NSLog(@"%@",bootstrap.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

NSLog(@"%@",@"The Oracle Cloud bootstrap secret has been stored in memory.");
