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.

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()

# 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","doppler_bs")
json.UpdateString("service","Example")
json.UpdateString("username","Joe")

# The bootstrap secret for Doppler Secrets will contain
# your Doppler authentication token.
# (Replace with your actual Doppler token.)
success = bootstrap.UpdateSecretStr(json,"dp.pt.uhcGAChAtpBkImhjT2xjwhdyG7rMJp75eEl4WAAAyUfc")
if (success == false)
    print bootstrap.lastErrorText() + "\n";
    exit
end

print "The Doppler bootstrap secret has been stored in the local manager." + "\n";
