# 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("username","Joe")

# ----------------------------------------------------

# Specify the secret to be fetched.
json = chilkat2.JsonObject()
json.UpdateString("appName","Test")
json.UpdateString("service","Something")
json.UpdateString("domain","Xyz")
json.UpdateString("username","Abc")

# 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")
