Lua Requires Chilkat v10.1.0+

Oracle Cloud Secrets - 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 Oracle Cloud Secrets.

Lua

local chilkat = require("chilkat")

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

local bootstrap = chilkat.Secrets.new()

-- This bootstrap 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.
local json = chilkat.JsonObject.new()
json:update_string("appName", "oracle_bs")
json:update_string("service", "Example")
json:update_string("username", "Joe")

-- The bootstrap secret for Oracle Cloud Secrets is the PEM of your private key.
local sbPem = chilkat.StringBuilder.new()
local success = sbPem:load_file("qa_data/pem/oracle_cloud_privkey.pem", "utf-8")
if not success then
    print("Failed to load the private key PEM file.")
    return
end

-- The bootstrap secret for the Oracle Cloud Secrets will contain
-- the private key PEM.
-- The secret is stored encrypted in memory, and is available to be used
-- regardless of the lifetime of the "bootstrap" object.
success = bootstrap:update_secret_sb(json, sbPem)
if not success then
    print(bootstrap.last_error_text)
    return
end

print("The Oracle Cloud bootstrap secret has been stored in memory.")
