// 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
Chilkat.Secrets bootstrap = new Chilkat.Secrets();

// 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.
Chilkat.JsonObject bsId = new Chilkat.JsonObject();
bsId.UpdateString("appName","AWS");
bsId.UpdateString("service","Example");
bsId.UpdateString("username","Joe");

// ----------------------------------------------------
Chilkat.Secrets secrets = new Chilkat.Secrets();

// Setup for the AWS Secrets Manager
secrets.Location = "aws_secrets_manager";
bool success = secrets.SetBootstrapSecret(bsId,bootstrap);
if (success == false) {
    Debug.WriteLine(secrets.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// Specify the secret to be fetched.
Chilkat.JsonObject json = new Chilkat.JsonObject();
json.UpdateString("appName","Test");
json.UpdateString("service","Something");
json.UpdateString("domain","Xyz");
json.UpdateString("username","Abc");

// Get the secret.
string secretValue = secrets.GetSecretStr(json);
if (secrets.LastMethodSuccess == false) {
    Debug.WriteLine(secrets.LastErrorText);

Debug.WriteLine("The content of the secret: " + secretValue);
