Doppler Secrets - Setup Bootstrap Secret in Local Manager

See more Secrets Examples

Accessing a cloud-based secrets manager requires authentication credentials, which cannot be stored in the manager itself. Instead, they must be securely stored locally.

One solution is to store the authentication credentials as a secret in the Windows Credentials Manager or Apple Keychain. These credentials serve as the "bootstrap secret" for authenticating with the cloud-based secrets manager.

This example demonstrates how to setup a bootstrap secret for the Doppler Secrets.

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

Java

import com.chilkatsoft.*;

public class ChilkatExample {

  static {
    try {
        System.loadLibrary("chilkat");
    } catch (UnsatisfiedLinkError e) {
      System.err.println("Native code library failed to load.\n" + e);
      System.exit(1);
    }
  }

  public static void main(String argv[])
  {
    boolean success = false;

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

    CkSecrets bootstrap = new CkSecrets();

    // We're going to store the bootstrap secret in the local manager.
    // On Windows, this is the Windows Credentials Manager
    // On MacOS/iOS, it is the Apple Keychain
    bootstrap.put_Location("local_manager");

    // 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.
    CkJsonObject json = new CkJsonObject();
    json.UpdateString("appName","doppler_bs");
    json.UpdateString("service","Example");
    json.UpdateString("username","Joe");

    // The bootstrap secret for Doppler Secrets will contain
    // your Doppler authentication token.
    // (Replace with your actual Doppler token.)
    success = bootstrap.UpdateSecretStr(json,"dp.pt.uhcGAChAtpBkImhjT2xjwhdyG7rMJp75eEl4WAAAyUfc");
    if (success == false) {
        System.out.println(bootstrap.lastErrorText());
        return;
        }

    System.out.println("The Doppler bootstrap secret has been stored in the local manager.");
  }
