Azure Key Vault - 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 Azure Key Vault.

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

Dim success As Boolean
success = False

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

Dim bootstrap As New Chilkat.Secrets

// This 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 Chilkat.JsonObject
success = json.UpdateString("appName","azure_bs")
success = json.UpdateString("service","Example")
success = json.UpdateString("username","Joe")

// The bootstrap secret for the Azure Key Vault will contain
// the tenant_id, client_id, and client_secret, like this:
Dim jsonSecret As New Chilkat.JsonObject
// Modify to your values.
success = jsonSecret.UpdateString("tenant_id","YOUR_TENANT_ID")
success = jsonSecret.UpdateString("client_id","YOUR_CLIENT_ID")
success = jsonSecret.UpdateString("client_secret","YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET")

// Create or update the bootstrap secret (in memory).
// The secret is stored encrypted in memory, and is available to be used
// regardless of the lifetime of the "bootstrap" object.
success = bootstrap.UpdateSecretJson(json,jsonSecret)

End If
