(Visual Basic 6.0) Doppler 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 Doppler secrets.

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

Dim bootstrap As New ChilkatSecrets

' This bootstrap secret will reside in memory.
bootstrap.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.
Dim json As New ChilkatJsonObject
success = json.UpdateString("appName","doppler_bs")
success = json.UpdateString("service","Example")
success = json.UpdateString("username","Joe")

' The bootstrap secret for Doppler Secrets will contain
' your Doppler authentication token.
' The secret is stored encrypted in memory, and is available to be used
' regardless of the lifetime of the "bootstrap" object.
Dim success As Long
success = bootstrap.UpdateSecretStr(json,"dp.pt.uhcGAChAtpBkImhjT2xjwhdyG7rMJp75eEl4WAAAyUfc")
If (success = 0) Then
    Debug.Print bootstrap.LastErrorText
