Note: This example requires Chilkat v10.1.0 or later.

import sys
import chilkat

success = False

# 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:

# AWS Region
# AWS Access Key
# AWS Secret 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 = chilkat.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.
# ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
bootstrap.put_Location("local_manager")

# Specify the bootstrap secret to be used.
bsId = chilkat.CkJsonObject()
bsId.UpdateString("appName","AWS")
bsId.UpdateString("service","Example")
bsId.UpdateString("username","Joe")

# ----------------------------------------------------
secrets = chilkat.CkSecrets()

# Setup for the AWS Secrets Manager
secrets.put_Location("aws_secrets_manager")
success = secrets.SetBootstrapSecret(bsId,bootstrap)
if (success == False):
    print(secrets.lastErrorText())
    sys.exit()

# Specify the secret to be fetched.
json = chilkat.CkJsonObject()
json.UpdateString("appName","Test")
json.UpdateString("service","Something")
json.UpdateString("domain","Xyz")
json.UpdateString("username","Abc")

# Get the secret.
secretValue = secrets.getSecretStr(json)
if (secrets.get_LastMethodSuccess() == False):
    print(secrets.lastErrorText())
    sys.exit()

print("The content of the secret: " + secretValue)
print("Success.")
