(Perl) Azure Key Vault - 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 Azure Key Vault.

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.

$bootstrap = chilkat::CkSecrets->new();

# This secret will reside in memory.
$bootstrap->put_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.
$json = chilkat::CkJsonObject->new();

# The bootstrap secret for the Azure Key Vault will contain
# the tenant_id, client_id, and client_secret, like this:
$jsonSecret = chilkat::CkJsonObject->new();
# Modify to your values.
$jsonSecret->UpdateString("tenant_id","YOUR_TENANT_ID");
$jsonSecret->UpdateString("client_id","YOUR_CLIENT_ID");
$jsonSecret->UpdateString("client_secret","YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET");

# The secret is stored encrypted in memory, and is available to be used
# regardless of the lifetime of the "bootstrap" object.
