# 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
$bootstrap = New-Object 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.
$bsId = New-Object Chilkat.JsonObject
$bsId.UpdateString("appName","ibm_bs")
$bsId.UpdateString("service","Example")
$bsId.UpdateString("username","Joe")

# ----------------------------------------------------
$secrets = New-Object Chilkat.Secrets

# Setup for the IBM Cloud Secrets
$secrets.Location = "ibm_cloud"
$success = $secrets.SetBootstrapSecret($bsId,$bootstrap)
if ($success -eq $false) {
    $($secrets.LastErrorText)
    exit
}

# 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.
$json = New-Object 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")

# 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:
$url = "https://chilkatdownload.com/sample_data/starfish.jpg"
$http = New-Object Chilkat.Http
$bd = New-Object Chilkat.BinData
$success = $http.DownloadBd($url,$bd)
if ($success -eq $false) {
    $($http.LastErrorText)
    exit
}

# Create or update the binary secret.
$success = $secrets.UpdateSecretBd($json,$bd)
if ($success -eq $false) {
    $($secrets.LastErrorText)
    exit
}

$("Success.")

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