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.

C++

#include <CkSecrets.h>
#include <CkJsonObject.h>
#include <CkHttp.h>
#include <CkBinData.h>

void ChilkatSample(void)
    {
    bool success = false;

    // 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
    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","ibm_bs");
    bsId.UpdateString("service","Example");
    bsId.UpdateString("username","Joe");

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

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

    // 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.
    CkJsonObject json;
    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:
    const char *url = "https://chilkatdownload.com/sample_data/starfish.jpg";
    CkHttp http;
    CkBinData bd;
    success = http.DownloadBd(url,bd);
    if (success == false) {
        std::cout << http.lastErrorText() << "\r\n";
        return;
    }

    // Create or update the binary secret.
    success = secrets.UpdateSecretBd(json,bd);
    if (success == false) {
        std::cout << secrets.lastErrorText() << "\r\n";
        return;
    }

    std::cout << "Success." << "\r\n";

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