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

// You can use OAuth2 client credentials with an Azure App (service principal) that has
// the required Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) permissions.
// In this case, it would be service principal with RBAC permissions to administer and manage
// the key vault.

// You can create the Azure App (also known as the Service Principal)
// in the Azure CLI (command line interface) as follows:

// ----------------------------------------------------------------------
// az ad sp create-for-rbac --name http://example.com --role Contributor
// ----------------------------------------------------------------------

// The argument to --name must be a valid URI that is a verified domain of your 
// organization or its subdomain.

// The output of the above "az ad sp create-for-rbac ..." command is JSON such as this:

// {
//   "appId": "25ac6e3a-9ac7-42b9-b13e-18644c1de959",
//   "displayName": "azure-cli-2023-10-14-22-38-15",
//   "name": "http://example.com",
//   "password": "f1f2f3f0-52dc-4236-8295-c8a1d6aa393c",
//   "tenant": "4d8dfd66-68d1-13b0-af5c-b31b4b3d53d"
// }

// Save the values in the above JSON.  You'll need it below..

// You'll also want to add the role of "Key Vault Administrator" to the Service Principal
// for the particular key vault.

// ----------------------------------------------------------------------
// az role assignment create --assignee <Application-ID> --role "Key Vault Administrator" 
//       --scope /subscriptions/<Subscription-ID>/resourceGroups/<Resource-Group-Name>/providers/Microsoft.KeyVault/vaults/<KeyVault-Name>
// ----------------------------------------------------------------------

//   "resource": "https://vault.azure.net",
//   "access_token": "eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiL ... 20UFDDOHEyUg"
// }

// If you wish, you can save the token to a file.
// The access token is generally valid for 1 hour.
// After 1 hour, you would need to get a new access token in the same way.
