See more Secrets Examples

Demonstrates how to fetch the content of a string secret from the Azure Key Vault.

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

VB.NET

Dim success As Boolean = False

' 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:

' Azure Tenant ID
' Azure Client ID
' Azure Client Secret

' 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
Dim bootstrap As New Chilkat.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.
Dim bsId As New Chilkat.JsonObject
bsId.UpdateString("appName","azure_bs")
bsId.UpdateString("service","Example")
bsId.UpdateString("username","Joe")

' ----------------------------------------------------
Dim secrets As New Chilkat.Secrets

secrets.Location = "azure_key_vault"
success = secrets.SetBootstrapSecret(bsId,bootstrap)
If (success = False) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(secrets.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If


' Specify the secret to be fetched.
Dim json As New Chilkat.JsonObject
json.UpdateString("appName","Test")
json.UpdateString("service","Something")
json.UpdateString("domain","Xyz")
json.UpdateString("username","Abc")

' For Azure Key Vault, we also need to specify the name of the vault where the secret is located.
' Replace "kvChilkat" with the name of your key vault.
json.UpdateString("vaultName","kvChilkat")

' Get the secret.
Dim secretValue As String = secrets.GetSecretStr(json)
If (secrets.LastMethodSuccess = False) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(secrets.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If


Debug.WriteLine("The content of the secret: " & secretValue)
Debug.WriteLine("Success.")
