// 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("CkSecrets")

// 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("CkJsonObject")
loBsId.UpdateString("appName","ibm_bs")
loBsId.UpdateString("service","Example")
loBsId.UpdateString("username","Joe")

// ----------------------------------------------------
loSecrets = createobject("CkSecrets")

// Setup for the IBM Cloud Secrets
loSecrets.Location = "ibm_cloud"
llSuccess = loSecrets.SetBootstrapSecret(loBsId,loBootstrap)
if (llSuccess = .F.) then
    ? loSecrets.LastErrorText
    release loBootstrap
    release loBsId
    release loSecrets
    return
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("CkJsonObject")
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("CkHttp")
loBd = createobject("CkBinData")
llSuccess = loHttp.DownloadBd(lcUrl,loBd)
if (llSuccess = .F.) then
    ? loHttp.LastErrorText
    release loBootstrap
    release loBsId
    release loSecrets
    release loJson
    release loHttp
    release loBd
    return
endif

// Create or update the binary secret.
llSuccess = loSecrets.UpdateSecretBd(loJson,loBd)
if (llSuccess = .F.) then
    ? loSecrets.LastErrorText
    release loBootstrap
    release loBsId
    release loSecrets
    release loJson
    release loHttp
    release loBd
    return
endif

? "Success."

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