Dim success As Boolean = False

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

Dim secrets As ChilkatSecrets
secrets.Initialize("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.
Dim json As ChilkatJsonObject
json.Initialize
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:
Dim url As String = "https://chilkatdownload.com/sample_data/starfish20.jpg"
Dim http As ChilkatHttp
http.Initialize("http")
Dim bd As ChilkatBinData
bd.Initialize
success = http.DownloadBd(url, bd)
If success = False Then
    Log(http.LastErrorText)
    Return
End If


'  Create or update the binary secret.
success = secrets.UpdateSecretBd(json, bd)
If success = False Then
    Log(secrets.LastErrorText)
    Return
End If


Log("Success.")
