On Windows, creates or updates a binary secret in the Windows Credentials Manager.

On MacOS or iOS, creates or updates a binary secret in the Apple Keychain.

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

CkPython

import sys
import chilkat

success = False

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

secrets = chilkat.CkSecrets()

# On Windows, this is the Windows Credentials Manager
# On MacOS/iOS, it is the Apple Keychain
secrets.put_Location("local_manager")

# 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 = chilkat.CkJsonObject()
json.UpdateString("appName","Test2")
json.UpdateString("service","Custom")
json.UpdateString("domain","Ocean")
json.UpdateString("username","Starfish20")

# 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 2KB in size.
# You can test using this same JPG at this URL:
url = "https://chilkatdownload.com/sample_data/starfish20.jpg"
http = chilkat.CkHttp()
bd = chilkat.CkBinData()
success = http.DownloadBd(url,bd)
if (success == False):
    print(http.lastErrorText())
    sys.exit()

# Create or update the binary secret.
success = secrets.UpdateSecretBd(json,bd)
if (success == False):
    print(secrets.lastErrorText())
    sys.exit()

print("Success.")
