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

*  See Azure Key Vault Get Certificates for a more detailed explanation
*  for how Chilkat is automatically getting the OAuth2 access token for your application.

*  Provide information needed for Chilkat to automatically get an OAuth2 access token as needed.
loJson = CreateObject('Chilkat.JsonObject')
loJson.UpdateString("client_id","APP_ID")
loJson.UpdateString("client_secret","APP_PASSWORD")
loJson.UpdateString("resource","https://vault.azure.net")
loJson.UpdateString("token_endpoint","https://login.microsoftonline.com/TENANT_ID/oauth2/token")

*  In this example, we'll sign the SHA256 hash of the string "This is a test"
loSb = CreateObject('Chilkat.StringBuilder')
lcSignedString = "This is a test"
loSb.Append(lcSignedString)
lcHash_base64url = loSb.GetHash("sha256","base64url","utf-8")

*  We're going to send a POST to the following URL:
*  POST {vaultBaseUrl}/keys/{key-or-cert-name}/{key-or-cert-version}/sign?api-version=7.4

*  For example:

*  POST https://VAULT_NAME.vault.azure.net/keys/CERT_NAME/CERT_VERSION/sign?api-version=7.4
*  
*  {
*    "alg": "RS512",
*    "value": "RUE3Nzg4NTQ4QjQ5RjFFN0U2NzAyQzhDNEMwMkJDOTA1MTYyOTUzNjI5NDhBNzZDQTlFOTM1NDA2M0ZGMjk2Mg"
*  }

*  The alg can be one of the following
*  ES256  ECDSA using P-256 and SHA-256
*  ES256K ECDSA using P-256K and SHA-256
*  ES384  ECDSA using P-384 and SHA-384
*  ES512  ECDSA using P-521 and SHA-512
*  PS256  RSASSA-PSS using SHA-256 and MGF1 with SHA-256
*  PS384  RSASSA-PSS using SHA-384 and MGF1 with SHA-384
*  PS512  RSASSA-PSS using SHA-512 and MGF1 with SHA-512
*  RS256  RSASSA-PKCS1-v1_5 using SHA-256
*  RS384  RSASSA-PKCS1-v1_5 using SHA-384
*  RS512  RSASSA-PKCS1-v1_5 using SHA-512

*  The sample POST above uses SHA512.  We'll instead sign a SHA256 hash..
