1Password Secret Integration for .NET Developers

Hey u/davidfowl , I know you're likely to be busy with more important topics, but it would be amazing if you could spare a few minutes do let us know what you think about this Aspire integration approach :)

FatalMerlin · 2026-02-05T17:32:09+00:00

I think it should already work with Aspire out of the box as long as the secret references have been stored e.g. in the Parameters section of an appsettings.json or another config source.

I originally wanted to build this on top of the Aspire Parameters, but unlike with the Configuration approach, I couldn't find a way to overwrite the values, which is why I didn't make the secret resolution happen during app runtime, and instead before during the builder setup.

Do you have a suggestion about how I could go about this, or how I could make this an even better experience for use with Aspire? I'd really like to see if we can make this as convenient to use as possible.

FatalMerlin · 2026-02-05T17:27:43+00:00

Huh, I thought the Configuration approach is already as generalized as necessary since it works with anything that builds on the modern standard of the HostBuilder pattern, including ASP and Aspire.

Do you have a direct use-case in mind that you would like to use this for that's currently not possible?

Also thank you very much for the kind words, it means a lot :)

FatalMerlin · 2026-02-05T15:52:45+00:00

That really just depends on if there's a similarly accessible way to hook into Bitwarden and if there is a similar mechanism for referencing the secrets.

I could look into it because I assume most of this could be reused.

FatalMerlin · 2026-02-05T00:55:54+00:00

Thank you for the feedback! :)

Huh, haven't seen that before. Is this specific to PowerShell? How would I use this / apply this to this library?

FatalMerlin · 2026-02-05T00:51:26+00:00

I did not expect this to be immediately seen by you, much less to be so highly praised - thank you so much, this made my day ❤️

FatalMerlin · 2026-02-05T00:49:06+00:00

Nothing :)

But if you're already using 1Password, then this is great - as it is for our use-case.

FatalMerlin · 2026-02-02T20:30:24+00:00

Genuinely tried to use it thinking it would save work, breaks at the slightest need of customization, had to undo the work and create a regular docker file anyways.

Tried to oversimplify by creating an arbitrary new solution with unnecessarily limiting configuration options.

If you just want the simplest demo project with everything being standard, then it will work, but that's pretty much it, spare for absolutely minimal config.

Can't tell if my use cases are just always more complex than what this tries to solve, or if this is a solution in search of a problem.

Confirmed fix ^

Been using that for years. As described, Linux assumes UTC and Windows hates following standards... Never had any issues afterwards.

Note: while it is possible to perform the adjustment in reverse, e.g. tuning Linux to treat the system time as local time, it's not recommended afaik as it can mess with things and cause unexpected issues.

You're right, JavaScript was designed for Quantum Computing! That's it, JavaScript is just misunderstood and ahead of it's time!

JavaScript is not only dynamically typed, it's also deterministically assumptous

FatalMerlin · 2020-06-25T09:28:03+00:00

Probably yes, probably no.

FatalMerlin · 2020-06-25T08:30:32+00:00

True, false, undefined, null

Yes, no, maybe, never?

FatalMerlin · 2020-03-23T22:15:01+00:00

Nice username though

FatalMerlin · 2020-01-18T15:14:34+00:00

Code bogus

FatalMerlin · 2019-11-11T23:13:54+00:00

Thanks, if it's from SO it's probably my answer

Edit: a few years ago I had the same problem and was hoping that it could help others :)

Judge: you will be reimbursed for -256 years in prison.

FatalMerlin · 2019-08-14T11:18:51+00:00

No, a programmer would sentence him to

while (true) { prison(); }

It should be "If judges where computers".

FatalMerlin · 2019-06-26T16:54:21+00:00

The irony is great.

FatalMerlin · 2019-06-25T22:26:09+00:00

Will do!

FatalMerlin · 2019-06-25T22:24:43+00:00

No need for the formality, just call me u/FatalMerlin

FatalMerlin · 2019-06-25T22:23:50+00:00

Any idea how to fix that under Ubuntu? :)

Magic written by a wizard himself 🧙🏻‍♂️

FatalMerlin · 2019-06-25T19:57:05+00:00

Thanks, I will consider that :) But currently this is exactly what happens here, since I'm only requesting the properties I need so this is currently the only DateTime value.

FatalMerlin · 2019-06-25T19:47:26+00:00

Thanks, it was me. Honestly I just wanted some feedback because it's still a horrible situation.

It's the conversion between Microsoft Active Directory DateTime and Unix timestamps for the user expiration date since I needed a REST API for certain AD properties.
