See more Secrets Examples

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.

// The bootstrap secret will contain the following information:

// IBM Cloud API 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
$bootstrap = new Secrets();

// 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.
$bsId = new JsonObject();
$bsId->UpdateString('appName', 'ibm_bs');
$bsId->UpdateString('service', 'Example');
$bsId->UpdateString('username', 'Joe');

// ----------------------------------------------------
$secrets = new Secrets();

$secrets->Location = 'ibm_cloud';
try {
    $secrets->SetBootstrapSecret($bsId, $bootstrap);

    // Specify the secret to be fetched.
    $json = new JsonObject();
    $json->UpdateString('appName', 'Test');
    $json->UpdateString('service', 'Something');
    $json->UpdateString('domain', 'Xyz');
    $json->UpdateString('username', 'Abc');

    // You'll also need to specify your IBM Cloud instance ID and region for each API call.
    $json->UpdateString('instance_id', 'a88a0c56-50a6-4461-9911-345b173e1171');
    $json->UpdateString('region', 'us-south');

    // Get the secret.
    $secretValue = $secrets->GetSecretStr($json);
