(PowerBuilder) 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.

loo_Bootstrap = create oleobject
// Use "Chilkat_9_5_0.Secrets" for versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0
li_rc = loo_Bootstrap.ConnectToNewObject("Chilkat.Secrets")
if li_rc < 0 then
    destroy loo_Bootstrap
    MessageBox("Error","Connecting to COM object failed")
    return
end if

// 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
loo_Bootstrap.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.
loo_Json = create oleobject
// Use "Chilkat_9_5_0.JsonObject" for versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0
li_rc = loo_Json.ConnectToNewObject("Chilkat.JsonObject")

loo_Json.UpdateString("appName","doppler_bs")
loo_Json.UpdateString("service","Example")
loo_Json.UpdateString("username","Joe")

// The bootstrap secret for Doppler Secrets will contain
// your Doppler authentication token.
// (Replace with your actual Doppler token.)
li_Success = loo_Bootstrap.UpdateSecretStr(loo_Json,"dp.pt.uhcGAChAtpBkImhjT2xjwhdyG7rMJp75eEl4WAAAyUfc")
if li_Success = 0 then
    Write-Debug loo_Bootstrap.LastErrorText
    destroy loo_Bootstrap
    destroy loo_Json
    return
end if

Write-Debug "The Doppler bootstrap secret has been stored in the local manager."
