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

-- The bootstrap secret will contain the following information:

-- AWS Region
-- AWS Access Key
-- AWS Secret Key

-- See following examples for setting up a bootstrap secret in memory,
-- or in the local manager (Windows Credentials Manager or Apple Keychain)
-- Setup Bootstrap Secret in Local Manager
-- Setup Bootstrap Secret in Memory
local bootstrap = chilkat.Secrets.new()

-- Set the location of the bootstrap secret.
-- Can be "local_manager" or "memory", depending on how you setup the bootstrap secret.
-- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- If your operating system is NOT Windows or MacOS/iOS, then change "local_manager" to "memory"
-- You can also, if desired, use "memory" on Windows and MacOS/iOS if your bootstrap secret was previously setup in memory.
-- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
bootstrap.location = "local_manager"

-- Specify the bootstrap secret to be used.
local bsId = chilkat.JsonObject.new()

local secrets = chilkat.Secrets.new()

-- Setup for the AWS Secrets Manager
secrets.location = "aws_secrets_manager"
local success = secrets:set_bootstrap_secret(bsId, bootstrap)
if not success then
    print(secrets.last_error_text)
    return
end

-- Specify the secret to be deleted.
