LOCAL lnSuccess
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.

loSecrets = CreateObject('Chilkat.Secrets')

* On Windows, this is the Windows Credentials Manager
* On MacOS/iOS, it is the Apple Keychain
loSecrets.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.
loJson = CreateObject('Chilkat.JsonObject')
loJson.UpdateString("appName","Test2")
loJson.UpdateString("service","Custom")
loJson.UpdateString("domain","Ocean")
loJson.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:
lcUrl = "https://chilkatdownload.com/sample_data/starfish20.jpg"
loHttp = CreateObject('Chilkat.Http')
loBd = CreateObject('Chilkat.BinData')
lnSuccess = loHttp.DownloadBd(lcUrl,loBd)
IF (lnSuccess = 0) THEN
    ? loHttp.LastErrorText
    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 loSecrets
    RELEASE loJson
    RELEASE loHttp
    RELEASE loBd
    CANCEL
ENDIF

? "Success."

RELEASE loSecrets
