(Swift 2) 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.

    let bootstrap = CkoSecrets()

    // This bootstrap secret will reside in memory.
    bootstrap.Location = "memory"

    // Specify the name of the bootstrap secret.

    // Note: The values are arbitrary and can be anything you want.

    // 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.
