Doppler 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 Doppler Secrets.

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

my $bootstrap = Chilkat2::Secrets->new;

# 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.
my $json = Chilkat2::JsonObject->new;
$json->UpdateString('appName', 'doppler_bs');
$json->UpdateString('service', 'Example');
$json->UpdateString('username', 'Joe');

# The bootstrap secret for Doppler Secrets will contain
# your Doppler authentication token.
# (Replace with your actual Doppler token.)
