Add Secret Manager

A tool called Secret Manager stores sensitive data for development work outside of your project tree. This approach helps prevent the accidental sharing of app secrets within source code. Complete the following steps to enable the use of Secret Manager in the ASP.NET Core project:

.NET Core 3.x

Navigate to the project's root directory, and run the following command to enable secrets storage in the project:

dotnet user-secrets init

A UserSecretsId element containing a GUID is added to the .csproj file:

<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk.Web">
    
    <PropertyGroup>
        <TargetFramework>netcoreapp3.1</TargetFramework>
        <UserSecretsId>79a3edd0-2092-40a2-a04d-dcb46d5ca9ed</UserSecretsId>
    </PropertyGroup>

</Project>

.NET Core 2.x

  1. Open the .csproj file.

  2. Add a UserSecretsId element to the .csproj file as shown here. You can use the same GUID, or you can replace this value with your own.

    <Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk.Web">

    <PropertyGroup>
        <TargetFramework>netcoreapp2.1</TargetFramework>
        <UserSecretsId>79a3edd0-2092-40a2-a04d-dcb46d5ca9ed</UserSecretsId>
    </PropertyGroup>

    <ItemGroup>
        <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.AspNetCore.App" />
        <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.AspNetCore.Razor.Design" Version="2.1.2" PrivateAssets="All" />
    </ItemGroup>

</Project>

  3. Save the .csproj file.
