C++

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

    CkSecrets secrets;

    // On Windows, this is the Windows Credentials Manager
    // On MacOS/iOS, it is the Apple Keychain
    secrets.put_Location("local_manager");

    // Specify the secret to be fetched.
    CkJsonObject json;
    json.UpdateString("appName","Test2");
    json.UpdateString("service","Custom");
    json.UpdateString("domain","Ocean");
    json.UpdateString("username","Starfish");

    // Get the binary secret data.
    CkBinData bd;
    success = secrets.GetSecretBd(json,bd);
    if (success == false) {
        std::cout << secrets.lastErrorText() << "\r\n";
        return;
    }

    // For our testing, the binary secret was a JPG image..
    bd.WriteFile("c:/temp/qa_output/starfish.jpg");

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