    CkAuthAzureSAS_putAccessKey(authSas,"AzureServiceBus_PrimaryKey");

    // The SAS token for Service Bus will look like this:
    // (The order of params will be different.  The order does not matter.)
    // sig=<signature-string>&se=<expiry>&skn=<keyName>&sr=<URL-encoded-resourceURI>

    // Specify the format of the string to sign.

    // Set the skn (keyname)
    // This example uses the key "RootManageSharedAccessKey".  This give full access.
    // In a typical scenario, you would create a new Azure key (for the service bus)
    // in the Azure portal, such that the key has limited permissions.  This would
    // allow you to give the SAS token to others for specific access for some period of time.
    CkAuthAzureSAS_SetTokenParam(authSas,"keyName","skn","RootManageSharedAccessKey");

    // Set the URL-encoded-resourceURI
    sbResourceUri = CkStringBuilder_Create();

    CkStringBuilder_Encode(sbResourceUri,"url","utf-8");

    // Save the SAS token to a file.
    // We can then use this pre-generated token for future Service Bus operations.
