Oracle Cloud 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 Oracle Cloud Secrets.

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

function chilkatExample() {

    var success = false;

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

    var bootstrap = new chilkat.Secrets();

    //  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.
    var json = new chilkat.JsonObject();
    json.UpdateString("appName","oracle_bs");
    json.UpdateString("service","Example");
    json.UpdateString("username","Joe");

    //  The bootstrap secret for Oracle Cloud Secrets is the PEM of your private key.
    var sbPem = new chilkat.StringBuilder();
    success = sbPem.LoadFile("qa_data/pem/oracle_cloud_privkey.pem","utf-8");
    if (success == false) {
        console.log("Failed to load the private key PEM file.");
        return;
    }

    //  The bootstrap secret for the Oracle Cloud Secrets will contain
    //  the private key PEM, like this:
    success = bootstrap.UpdateSecretSb(json,sbPem);
    if (success == false) {
        console.log(bootstrap.LastErrorText);
        return;
    }

    console.log("The Oracle Cloud bootstrap secret has been stored.");
