One more gem of an info you dropped ! thanks

[@RahulNath]

So I am guessing you like my other videos in this series too 😀 Thank you Paniraj for letting me know

[@ajaypanse4489]

Hi Rahul, Your videos are very helpful to learn the concepts. Good wishes to you. Need to understand, do we need to have separate project of secret manager? Also can we we use same secret manager project to store secrets of multiple applications? Please explain

[@MrSachintelalwar]

Very well explained. How would this work if I have to use localstack for local development? Would I initialize the DBContext with some condition?

[@RahulNath]

Thank you Sachin. You can have the connection details to local stack updated in your config file. If the values are publicly available as part of the localstack docs, I would leave that in appsettings.Development.json file, so that your entire dev team has it there by default. Does that answer your question?

[@MrSachintelalwar]

@@RahulNath Perfect. Yes, it does answer my question. Thank you for the quick response. Appreciate it :)

@@MrSachintelalwar Great - Thank you!

[@tarekjrd75]

Hi rahul. Thank you for your efforts. I have a question: " how to specify the secrets in a production environment ? " Like supposing i m gonna launch my server app in a hosting service ? How should i manage my secrets in that env ? Or there is no difference?

[@RahulNath]

Secrets manager is for local development machine. For your production environment based on the application type there are different approaches. I list them out here in this blog post and an associated video www.rahulpnath.com/blog/handling-application-configuration/ Let me know if that helps you or if you have additional questions.

[@akhilm4867]

Please do a video about authentication and authorisation including jwt authentication

[@RahulNath]

Sure Akhil, will do. I am working on it currently. It will be out soon.😀

[@mayureshs80]

Thanks ! Can you also make a video for secrets from Azure vault?

[@RahulNath]

Here it is - kzbin.info/www/bejne/bJ3CnKOvnLRjf8U You might want to also check my Key Vault Playlist kzbin.info/aero/PL59L9XrzUa-nEwFPxQRu8jV94uM00pN0i Let know if that is what you were after.

[@MarioLopez-eu8tj]

Do you have a similar example regarding how to implement for production environment using the service keyword ?

[@RahulNath]

Sorry did not understand your question Mario. Can you give me some more details. In prod I would use something like Key Vault . You can check out the associated blog post and article here www.rahulpnath.com/blog/connect-net-core-to-azure-key-vault-in-ten-minutes/ Let know if that is what you are looking for or if you have additional questions.

[@MarioLopez-eu8tj]

​@@RahulNath I meant key vault but i don't know if i can apply it to other project that aren't web type or if there are another alternatives rather than key vault to use.

[@RahulNath]

@@MarioLopez-eu8tj Sorry for the late reply. Yes you can use KeyVault from any .net application. It is not specific to web project. Let know if you are running into any specific issues and happy to help.

[@angeldimitrov1353]

@@RahulNath Any insight on how secrets could be managed for sensitive applications running in network-restricted environments, that may not be able to use services like Azure KeyVault? .NET Framework .config files could be configured to have sections that were encrypted with the RSA private key of the machine that was running the application, then .NET would figure out the decryption when the runtime would hit code that needed to access the configuration values. Any idea if .NET Core has an equivalent functionality?

[@anujadi8366]

Great explanation as always sorry i couldn't find the tutorial project linked I just wanted to try out like shown in the video Thank you

[@RahulNath]

Sorry missed it in the description - Here it is rahulpnath.visualstudio.com/DefaultCollection/KZbin%20Samples/_git/SecretManager

[@lavanyaece]

how to set up secret. json values on web server when we deploy to the test server?

[@RahulNath]

You shouldn’t - Secret manager is for use on local development machine. Check out this blog post and associated videos on how to do it on server - www.rahulpnath.com/blog/handling-application-configuration/ Let me know if you have additional questions

[@MrACody]

Can I add condition for production in startup like u added for locl env and use secret manager for production instead of azure valut if I will delooyed in my private servsr

[@sarathbaiju6040]

Hi Rahul, is it safe to add this feature to azure function application? When i try to add secret manager file to a existing azure function, it add some other packages moreover, the .csproj file get updated.

[@RahulNath]

Yes it’s fine to use in local development environments. I show this in my Azure Functions video kzbin.info/www/bejne/aGiyhoeMmbBllZI . There is also an associated DI for Functions video if you are interested. The additional dll is to support integrating the Secret Manager. Let me know if you have additional questions.

[@muhammadahsansaifi5182]

Hello Raul Good work can you share the source code of whole series thank you

[@RahulNath]

Thank you - Source code links are in the description for each video. Let me know in case I missed for any.

[@mahesh_rcb]

Is is possible to set connection string as user secret from command line when publishing .net core app .. For development one connection string For production one connection string. And how to get that CLI of yours it's cool btw 😀

[@RahulNath]

For terminal I use the Windows Terminal. More details here www.rahulpnath.com/blog/setting-up-windows-terminal/ Not sure if I understand the first question Mahesh. Can you provide some more details? I did a more recent video on different ways you can set environment specific configuration values. Do check out if that answers your question kzbin.info/www/bejne/rYW2pmWXeNSFbbs

@@RahulNath The new link is more clear now Thanks 👍🏻. Looking forward to more .net content 😀

@@mahesh_rcb Nice 👍

[@mersy4405]

Hi Rahul, I have a question that hope you can reply me, I'm following your video and its works on local but when I deploy it to production mode it got an error "Amazon.Runtime.AmazonServiceException: Unable to get IAM security credentials from EC2 Instance Metadata Service.". So how can I get a credential for my production mode? Tks for your time

[@RahulNath]

For production you should not be using Secret Manager. Looks like you are using AWS, this post and associated video should help www.rahulpnath.com/blog/amazon-credentials-dotnet/ Please let me know if that helps or if you have additional questions.

[@Settings404]

Why aren't you using visual studio 😭

[@RahulNath]

Rider has functionality that enables to easily navigate into framework methods which I often use in these videos. Also I sometimes switch to visual studio (like at 9:03 in this video). Anything in particular you are finding it hard to follow when I use Rider?

[@Settings404]

@@RahulNath No lol I'm just stubborn and like Visual Studio because it's free. Ryders from the same creators of clion/intellij right?

[@RahulNath]

@@Settings404 Haha yeah - I started using Rider because I got a free license as part of Microsoft MVP program. But liking it now 😀

[@nathanpowell4256]

Thanks for the great explanation. The official documentation and videos from Microsoft that try explain these concepts are absolute garbage compared to your video.

[@RahulNath]

Glad this was helpful Nathan. I got most of the content for this video from the official documentation, but put in my on touch of organizing it differently. Extremely happy to hear that it helped. Do checkout the full series here bit.ly/asp-net-core-series. I am sure you will like it. Do let me know in case you get to watch any of them.
