Oracle Cloud 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 Oracle Cloud Secrets.

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

Perl

use chilkat();

$success = 0;

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

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

# 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
$bootstrap->put_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.
$json = chilkat::CkJsonObject->new();
$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.
$sbPem = chilkat::CkStringBuilder->new();
$success = $sbPem->LoadFile("qa_data/pem/oracle_cloud_privkey.pem","utf-8");
if ($success == 0) {
    print "Failed to load the private key PEM file." . "\r\n";
    exit;
}

# The bootstrap secret for the Oracle Cloud Secrets will contain
# the private key PEM, like this:
$success = $bootstrap->UpdateSecretSb($json,$sbPem);
if ($success == 0) {
    print $bootstrap->lastErrorText() . "\r\n";
    exit;
}

print "The Oracle Cloud bootstrap secret has been stored." . "\r\n";
