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.

// Important: Don't forget to include the call to System.loadLibrary

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

    CkSecrets bootstrap = new CkSecrets();

    // This secret will reside in memory.
    bootstrap.put_Location("memory");

    // Specify the name of the bootstrap secret.
    // service and username are required.
