IBM Cloud Secrets - Get a String Secret

See more Secrets Examples

Demonstrates how to fetch the content of a string secret from the IBM Cloud Secrets.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v10.1.0 or later.

Rust

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

// The bootstrap secret will contain the following information:

// IBM Cloud API Key

// See following examples for setting up a bootstrap secret in memory, 
// or in the local manager (Windows Credentials Manager or Apple Keychain)
// Setup Bootstrap Secret in Local Manager
// Setup Bootstrap Secret in Memory
let bootstrap = chilkat::Secrets::new();

// Set the location of the bootstrap secret.
// Can be "local_manager" or "memory", depending on how you setup the bootstrap secret.
// ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// If your operating system is NOT Windows or MacOS/iOS, then change "local_manager" to "memory"
// You can also, if desired, use "memory" on Windows and MacOS/iOS if your bootstrap secret was previously setup in memory.
// ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
bootstrap.set_location("local_manager");

// Specify the bootstrap secret to be used.
let bs_id = chilkat::JsonObject::new();
let _ = bs_id.update_string("appName", "ibm_bs");
let _ = bs_id.update_string("service", "Example");
let _ = bs_id.update_string("username", "Joe");

// ----------------------------------------------------
let secrets = chilkat::Secrets::new();

secrets.set_location("ibm_cloud");
if secrets.set_bootstrap_secret(&bs_id, &bootstrap).is_err() {
    println!("{}", secrets.last_error_text());
    return;
}

// Specify the secret to be fetched.
let json = chilkat::JsonObject::new();
let _ = json.update_string("appName", "Test");
let _ = json.update_string("service", "Something");
let _ = json.update_string("domain", "Xyz");
let _ = json.update_string("username", "Abc");

// You'll also need to specify your IBM Cloud instance ID and region for each API call.
let _ = json.update_string("instance_id", "a88a0c56-50a6-4461-9911-345b173e1171");
let _ = json.update_string("region", "us-south");

// Get the secret.
let Ok(secret_value) = secrets.get_secret_str(&json) else {
    println!("{}", secrets.last_error_text());
    return;
};

println!("The content of the secret: {}", secret_value);
println!("Success.");
