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.

Swift

func chilkatTest() {
    var success: Bool = false

    // 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 = CkoSecrets()!

    // 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.location = "local_manager"

    // Specify the bootstrap secret to be used.
    let bsId = CkoJsonObject()!
    bsId.updateString(jsonPath: "appName", value: "ibm_bs")
    bsId.updateString(jsonPath: "service", value: "Example")
    bsId.updateString(jsonPath: "username", value: "Joe")

    // ----------------------------------------------------
    let secrets = CkoSecrets()!

    secrets.location = "ibm_cloud"
    success = secrets.setBootstrapSecret(jsonId: bsId, secretContent: bootstrap)
    if success == false {
        print("\(secrets.lastErrorText!)")
        return
    }

    // Specify the secret to be fetched.
    let json = CkoJsonObject()!
    json.updateString(jsonPath: "appName", value: "Test")
    json.updateString(jsonPath: "service", value: "Something")
    json.updateString(jsonPath: "domain", value: "Xyz")
    json.updateString(jsonPath: "username", value: "Abc")

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

    // Get the secret.
    var secretValue: String? = secrets.getSecretStr(jsonId: json)
    if secrets.lastMethodSuccess == false {
        print("\(secrets.lastErrorText!)")
        return
    }

    print("The content of the secret: \(secretValue!)")
    print("Success.")
