// This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

Chilkat.Secrets secrets = new Chilkat.Secrets();

// On Windows, this is the Windows Credentials Manager
// On MacOS/iOS, it is the Apple Keychain
secrets.Location = "local_manager";

// Set wildcarded or exact values for appName, service, domain, and username.
// Omit any members where anything is allowed to match, or alternatively specify "*" to match anything.
Chilkat.JsonObject jsonMatch = new Chilkat.JsonObject();
jsonMatch.UpdateString("appName","Test*");
jsonMatch.UpdateString("service","*");
jsonMatch.UpdateString("domain","*");
jsonMatch.UpdateString("username","Starfish*");

Chilkat.JsonObject results = new Chilkat.JsonObject();
results.EmitCompact = false;

bool success = secrets.ListSecrets(jsonMatch,results);
if (success == false) {
    Debug.WriteLine(secrets.LastErrorText);

}

Debug.WriteLine(results.Emit());

// Sample output on Windows.
// The "targetName" is purely informational and indicates the raw TargetName of the secret (i.e. Credential) stored in the Credentials Manager.
