(Chilkat2-Python) IBM Cloud Secrets - Create or Update a Binary Secret

See more Secrets Examples

Demonstrates how to create or update a binary secret stored in the IBM Cloud Secrets.

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

# 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:

# IBM Cloud API 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
bootstrap = chilkat2.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.
bsId = chilkat2.JsonObject()
bsId.UpdateString("appName","ibm_bs")
bsId.UpdateString("service","Example")
bsId.UpdateString("username","Joe")

# ----------------------------------------------------
secrets = chilkat2.Secrets()

# Setup for the IBM Cloud Secrets
secrets.Location = "ibm_cloud"
success = secrets.SetBootstrapSecret(bsId,bootstrap)
if (success == False):
    print(secrets.LastErrorText)
    sys.exit()

# 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.
json = chilkat2.JsonObject()
json.UpdateString("appName","Test2")
json.UpdateString("service","Custom")
json.UpdateString("domain","Ocean")
json.UpdateString("username","Starfish")

# You'll also need to specify your IBM Cloud instance ID and region for each API call.
json.UpdateString("instance_id","a88a0c56-50a6-4461-9911-345b173e1171")
json.UpdateString("region","us-south")

# 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 6KB in size.
# You can test using this same JPG at this URL:
url = "https://chilkatdownload.com/sample_data/starfish.jpg"
http = chilkat2.Http()
bd = chilkat2.BinData()
success = http.DownloadBd(url,bd)
if (success == False):
    print(http.LastErrorText)
    sys.exit()

# Create or update the binary secret.
success = secrets.UpdateSecretBd(json,bd)
if (success == False):
    print(secrets.LastErrorText)
    sys.exit()

print("Success.")

# Here you can see the secret that was created in the IBM Cloud Secrets:
