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.

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

const std = @import("std");

pub fn main(init: std.process.Init) !void {

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

    const bootstrap = try chilkat.Secrets.init();
    defer bootstrap.deinit();

    // 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.setLocation("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.

    defer json.deinit();
    json.updateString("appName", "doppler_bs") catch {};
    json.updateString("service", "Example") catch {};
    json.updateString("username", "Joe") catch {};

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