See more Secrets Examples

On Windows, creates or updates a binary secret in the Windows Credentials Manager.

On MacOS or iOS, creates or updates a binary secret in the Apple Keychain.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v10.1.0 or later.

C#

bool success = false;

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

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

//  On Windows, this is the Windows Credentials Manager
//  On MacOS/iOS, it is the Apple Keychain
secrets.Location = "local_manager";

//  Specify the name of the secret.
//  service and username are required.
//  appName and domain are optional.
//  Note: The values are arbitrary and can be anything you want.
Chilkat.JsonObject json = new Chilkat.JsonObject();
json.UpdateString("appName","Test2");
json.UpdateString("service","Custom");
json.UpdateString("domain","Ocean");
json.UpdateString("username","Starfish20");

//  The purpose of this example is to show how arbitrary binary data
//  can be stored as a secret.

//  We'll use a small JPG image that is approximately 2KB in size.
//  You can test using this same JPG at this URL:
string url = "https://chilkatdownload.com/sample_data/starfish20.jpg";
Chilkat.Http http = new Chilkat.Http();
Chilkat.BinData bd = new Chilkat.BinData();
success = http.DownloadBd(url,bd);
if (success == false) {
    Debug.WriteLine(http.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

//  Create or update the binary secret.
success = secrets.UpdateSecretBd(json,bd);
if (success == false) {
    Debug.WriteLine(secrets.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

Debug.WriteLine("Success.");
