Azure Key Vault - 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 Azure Key Vault.

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

Dart

import 'package:chilkat/chilkat.dart';

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

  final bootstrap = 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.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.
  final json = CkJsonObject();
  json.updateString('appName', 'azure_bs');
  json.updateString('service', 'Example');
  json.updateString('username', 'Joe');

  // The bootstrap secret for the Azure Key Vault will contain
  // the tenant_id, client_id, and client_secret, like this:
  final jsonSecret = CkJsonObject();
  // Modify to your values.
  jsonSecret.updateString('tenant_id', 'YOUR_TENANT_ID');
  jsonSecret.updateString('client_id', 'YOUR_CLIENT_ID');
  jsonSecret.updateString('client_secret', 'YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET');

  // Create or update the bootstrap secret.
  try {
    bootstrap.updateSecretJson(json, jsonSecret);
  } on ChilkatException catch (e) {
    print(e.lastErrorText);
    return;
  }

  print('The Azure bootstrap secret has been stored.');
