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.

Ruby

require 'chilkat'

success = false

# 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()
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 = 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")

# 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.
success = bootstrap.UpdateSecretJson(json,jsonSecret)
if (success == false)
    print bootstrap.lastErrorText() + "\n";
    exit
end

print "The Azure bootstrap secret has been stored in memory." + "\n";
