(C++) AWS Setup Bootstrap Secret in MemorySee more Secrets ExamplesAccessing a cloud-based secrets manager requires authentication credentials, which cannot be stored in the manager itself. Instead, they must be securely stored locally. One solution is to store the authentication credentials as a secret in the Windows Credentials Manager or Apple Keychain. These credentials serve as the "bootstrap secret" for authenticating with the cloud-based secrets manager. Note: This example requires Chilkat v10.1.0 or later. For more information, see https://cknotes.com/chilkat-secrets-class-added-in-version-10-1-0/
