On Windows, creates or updates a binary secret in the Windows Credentials Manager.

On MacOS or iOS, creates or updates a binary secret in the Apple Keychain.

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.

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";

// 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","Starfish20");

// 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 2KB in size.
// You can test using this same JPG at this URL:
string url = "https://chilkatdownload.com/sample_data/starfish20.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.");
