LOCAL loBootstrap
LOCAL loBsId
LOCAL loSecrets
LOCAL lnSuccess
LOCAL loJson

* 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
* For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use CreateObject('Chilkat_9_5_0.Secrets')
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.
* For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use CreateObject('Chilkat_9_5_0.JsonObject')
loBsId = CreateObject('Chilkat.JsonObject')
loBsId.UpdateString("appName","ibm_bs")
loBsId.UpdateString("service","Example")
loBsId.UpdateString("username","Joe")

* ----------------------------------------------------
* For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use CreateObject('Chilkat_9_5_0.Secrets')
loSecrets = CreateObject('Chilkat.Secrets')

loSecrets.Location = "ibm_cloud"
lnSuccess = loSecrets.SetBootstrapSecret(loBsId,loBootstrap)
IF (lnSuccess = 0) THEN
    ? loSecrets.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loBootstrap
    RELEASE loBsId
    RELEASE loSecrets
    CANCEL
ENDIF

* Let's create or update a secret in the IBM Cloud Secrets.
* (The secret is updated if it already exists.)
* For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use CreateObject('Chilkat_9_5_0.JsonObject')
loJson = CreateObject('Chilkat.JsonObject')
loJson.UpdateString("appName","Test")
loJson.UpdateString("service","Something")
loJson.UpdateString("domain","Xyz")
loJson.UpdateString("username","Abc")

* 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")

* Create or update the secret.
lnSuccess = loSecrets.UpdateSecretStr(loJson,"This is the secret.")
IF (lnSuccess = 0) THEN
    ? loSecrets.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loBootstrap
    RELEASE loBsId
    RELEASE loSecrets
    RELEASE loJson
    CANCEL
ENDIF

? "Success."

* Here you can see the secret that was created:
