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 = new COM("Chilkat.Secrets");

// This 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.
$json = new COM("Chilkat.JsonObject");
$json->UpdateString('appName','azure_bs');
$json->UpdateString('service','Example');
$json->UpdateString('username','Joe');

// The bootstrap secret for the Azure Key Vault will contain
// the tenant_id, client_id, and client_secret, like this:
$jsonSecret = new COM("Chilkat.JsonObject");
// 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');

// Create or update the bootstrap secret (in memory).
// The secret is stored encrypted in memory, and is available to be used
// regardless of the lifetime of the "bootstrap" object.

    print $bootstrap->LastErrorText . "\n";
    exit;
