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.

.NET Core C#

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

// 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.Location = "local_manager";

// Specify the bootstrap secret to be used.
Chilkat.JsonObject bsId = new Chilkat.JsonObject();
bsId.UpdateString("appName","ibm_bs");
bsId.UpdateString("service","Example");
bsId.UpdateString("username","Joe");

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

// Setup for the IBM Cloud Secrets
secrets.Location = "ibm_cloud";
success = secrets.SetBootstrapSecret(bsId,bootstrap);
if (success == false) {
    Debug.WriteLine(secrets.LastErrorText);
    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.
Chilkat.JsonObject json = new Chilkat.JsonObject();
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:
string url = "https://chilkatdownload.com/sample_data/starfish.jpg";
Chilkat.Http http = new Chilkat.Http();
Chilkat.BinData bd = new Chilkat.BinData();
success = http.DownloadBd(url,bd);
if (success == false) {
    Debug.WriteLine(http.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// Create or update the binary secret.
success = secrets.UpdateSecretBd(json,bd);
if (success == false) {
    Debug.WriteLine(secrets.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

Debug.WriteLine("Success.");

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