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.

PowerShell

Add-Type -Path "C:\chilkat\ChilkatDotNet47-x64\ChilkatDotNet47.dll"

$success = $false

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

$bootstrap = New-Object Chilkat.Secrets

# 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.
$json = New-Object Chilkat.JsonObject
$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 = New-Object Chilkat.StringBuilder
$success = $sbPem.LoadFile("qa_data/pem/oracle_cloud_privkey.pem","utf-8")
if ($success -eq $false) {
    $("Failed to load the private key PEM file.")
    exit
}

# 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,$sbPem)
if ($success -eq $false) {
    $($bootstrap.LastErrorText)
    exit
}

$("The Oracle Cloud bootstrap secret has been stored in memory.")
