AWS 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 the AWS Secrets Manager.

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

Chilkat2 PHP

<?php

use Chilkat2\JsonObject;
use Chilkat2\Secrets;

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

$bootstrap = new Secrets();

// This 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.
$json = new JsonObject();
$json->UpdateString('appName', 'AWS');
$json->UpdateString('service', 'Example');
$json->UpdateString('username', 'Joe');

// The bootstrap secret for the AWS Secrets Manager will contain
// the AWS region, access key, and secret key, like this:
$jsonSecret = new JsonObject();
// Modify if necessary to use your region..
$jsonSecret->UpdateString('awsRegion', 'us-east-1');
$jsonSecret->UpdateString('awsAccessKey', 'YOUR_ACCESS_KEY');
$jsonSecret->UpdateString('awsSecretKey', 'YOUR_SECRET_KEY');

// Create or update the bootstrap secret (in memory).
// The secret is stored encrypted in memory, and is available to be used
// regardless of the lifetime of the "bootstrap" object.
try {
    $bootstrap->UpdateSecretJson($json, $jsonSecret);
} catch (\Chilkat2\Exception $e) {
    echo $e->getMessage(), "\n";
    exit;
}

echo "The AWS bootstrap secret has been stored in memory.\n";
