    // 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
    CkSecrets bootstrap;

    // 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.put_Location("local_manager");

    // Specify the bootstrap secret to be used.
    CkJsonObject bsId;
    bsId.UpdateString("appName","AWS");
    bsId.UpdateString("service","Example");
    bsId.UpdateString("username","Joe");

    // ----------------------------------------------------
    CkSecrets secrets;

    // Setup for the AWS Secrets Manager
    secrets.put_Location("aws_secrets_manager");
    bool success = secrets.SetBootstrapSecret(bsId,bootstrap);
    if (success == false) {
        std::cout << secrets.lastErrorText() << "\r\n";
        return;
    }

    // Let's create or update a secret in the AWS Secrets Manager.
    // (The secret is updated if it already exists.)

    json.UpdateString("appName","Test");
    json.UpdateString("service","Something");
