Lua Requires Chilkat v10.1.0+

AWS Secrets Manager - Create or Update a Binary Secret

See more Secrets Examples

Demonstrates how to create or update a binary secret stored in the AWS Secrets Manager. Lua

local chilkat = require("chilkat")

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

-- The bootstrap secret will contain the following information:

-- AWS Region
-- AWS Access Key
-- AWS Secret Key

-- See following examples for setting up a bootstrap secret in memory,
-- or in the local manager (Windows Credentials Manager or Apple Keychain)
-- Setup Bootstrap Secret in Local Manager
-- Setup Bootstrap Secret in Memory
local bootstrap = chilkat.Secrets.new()

-- Set the location of the bootstrap secret.
-- Can be "local_manager" or "memory", depending on how you setup the bootstrap secret.
-- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- If your operating system is NOT Windows or MacOS/iOS, then change "local_manager" to "memory"
-- You can also, if desired, use "memory" on Windows and MacOS/iOS if your bootstrap secret was previously setup in memory.
-- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
bootstrap.location = "local_manager"

-- Specify the bootstrap secret to be used.
local bsId = chilkat.JsonObject.new()
bsId:update_string("appName", "AWS")
bsId:update_string("service", "Example")
bsId:update_string("username", "Joe")

-- ----------------------------------------------------
local secrets = chilkat.Secrets.new()

-- Setup for the AWS Secrets Manager
secrets.location = "aws_secrets_manager"
local success = secrets:set_bootstrap_secret(bsId, bootstrap)
if not success then
    print(secrets.last_error_text)
    return
end

-- Specify the name of the secret.
-- service and username are required.
-- appName and domain are optional.
-- Note: The values are arbitrary and can be anything you want.
local json = chilkat.JsonObject.new()
json:update_string("appName", "Test2")
json:update_string("service", "Custom")
json:update_string("domain", "Ocean")
json:update_string("username", "Starfish")

-- The purpose of this example is to show how arbitrary binary data
-- can be stored as a secret.

-- We'll use a small JPG image that is approximately 6KB in size.
-- You can test using this same JPG at this URL:
local url = "https://chilkatdownload.com/sample_data/starfish.jpg"
local http = chilkat.Http.new()
local bd = chilkat.BinData.new()
success = http:download_bd(url, bd)
if not success then
    print(http.last_error_text)
    return
end

-- Create or update the binary secret.
success = secrets:update_secret_bd(json, bd)
if not success then
    print(secrets.last_error_text)
    return
end

print("Success.")

-- Here you can see the secret that was created in the AWS Secrets Manager:
