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.

LOCAL lnSuccess
LOCAL loBootstrap
LOCAL loBsId
LOCAL loSecrets
LOCAL loJson
LOCAL lcUrl
LOCAL loHttp
LOCAL loBd

lnSuccess = 0

*  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
loBootstrap = CreateObject('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.
*  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
loBootstrap.Location = "local_manager"

*  Specify the bootstrap secret to be used.
loBsId = CreateObject('Chilkat.JsonObject')
loBsId.UpdateString("appName","ibm_bs")
loBsId.UpdateString("service","Example")
loBsId.UpdateString("username","Joe")

*  ----------------------------------------------------
loSecrets = CreateObject('Chilkat.Secrets')

*  Setup for the IBM Cloud Secrets
loSecrets.Location = "ibm_cloud"
lnSuccess = loSecrets.SetBootstrapSecret(loBsId,loBootstrap)
IF (lnSuccess = 0) THEN
    ? loSecrets.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loBootstrap
    RELEASE loBsId
    RELEASE loSecrets
    CANCEL
ENDIF

*  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.
loJson = CreateObject('Chilkat.JsonObject')
loJson.UpdateString("appName","Test2")
loJson.UpdateString("service","Custom")
loJson.UpdateString("domain","Ocean")
loJson.UpdateString("username","Starfish")

*  You'll also need to specify your IBM Cloud instance ID and region for each API call.
loJson.UpdateString("instance_id","a88a0c56-50a6-4461-9911-345b173e1171")
loJson.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:
lcUrl = "https://chilkatdownload.com/sample_data/starfish.jpg"
loHttp = CreateObject('Chilkat.Http')
loBd = CreateObject('Chilkat.BinData')
lnSuccess = loHttp.DownloadBd(lcUrl,loBd)
IF (lnSuccess = 0) THEN
    ? loHttp.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loBootstrap
    RELEASE loBsId
    RELEASE loSecrets
    RELEASE loJson
    RELEASE loHttp
    RELEASE loBd
    CANCEL
ENDIF

*  Create or update the binary secret.
lnSuccess = loSecrets.UpdateSecretBd(loJson,loBd)
IF (lnSuccess = 0) THEN
    ? loSecrets.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loBootstrap
    RELEASE loBsId
    RELEASE loSecrets
    RELEASE loJson
    RELEASE loHttp
    RELEASE loBd
    CANCEL
ENDIF

? "Success."

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

*  

RELEASE loBootstrap
RELEASE loBsId
RELEASE loSecrets
RELEASE loJson
RELEASE loHttp
RELEASE loBd
