    CkSecrets secrets;

    // On Windows, this is the Windows Credentials Manager

    secrets.put_Location("local_manager");

    // Specify the secret to be fetched.
    CkJsonObject json;
    json.UpdateString("appName","Test2");
    json.UpdateString("service","Something");
    json.UpdateString("domain","Xyz");
    json.UpdateString("username","Abc");

    // Get the secret.
    const char *secretValue = secrets.getSecretStr(json);
    if (secrets.get_LastMethodSuccess() == false) {
        std::cout << secrets.lastErrorText() << "\r\n";
        return;
    }

    std::cout << "The content of the secret: " << secretValue << "\r\n";
