// 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
Chilkat.Secrets bootstrap = new 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.
// ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
bootstrap.Location = "local_manager";

// Specify the bootstrap secret to be used.
Chilkat.JsonObject bsId = new Chilkat.JsonObject();
bsId.UpdateString("appName","ibm_bs");
bsId.UpdateString("service","Example");
bsId.UpdateString("username","Joe");

// ----------------------------------------------------
Chilkat.Secrets secrets = new Chilkat.Secrets();

// Setup for the IBM Cloud Secrets
secrets.Location = "ibm_cloud";
bool success = secrets.SetBootstrapSecret(bsId,bootstrap);
if (success == false) {
    Debug.WriteLine(secrets.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// Specify the secret to be fetched.
Chilkat.JsonObject json = new Chilkat.JsonObject();
json.UpdateString("appName","Test2");
json.UpdateString("service","Custom");
json.UpdateString("domain","Ocean");
json.UpdateString("username","Starfish");

// You'll also need to specify your IBM Cloud instance ID and region for each API call.
json.UpdateString("instance_id","a88a0c56-50a6-4461-9911-345b173e1171");
json.UpdateString("region","us-south");

// Get the binary secret data.
Chilkat.BinData bd = new Chilkat.BinData();
success = secrets.GetSecretBd(json,bd);
if (success == false) {
    Debug.WriteLine(secrets.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// For our testing, the binary secret was a JPG image..
bd.WriteFile("c:/temp/qa_output/starfish.jpg");

Debug.WriteLine("Success.");
