Doppler Secrets - 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 Doppler secrets.

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.

Dim bootstrap As New Chilkat.Secrets

' This bootstrap 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.
Dim json As New Chilkat.JsonObject
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.
' The secret is stored encrypted in memory, and is available to be used
' regardless of the lifetime of the "bootstrap" object.
success = bootstrap.UpdateSecretStr(json,"dp.pt.uhcGAChAtpBkImhjT2xjwhdyG7rMJp75eEl4WAAAyUfc")
If (success = False) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(bootstrap.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If


Debug.WriteLine("The Doppler bootstrap secret has been stored in memory.")
