# 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.new()

# 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.new()
bsId.UpdateString("appName","AWS")
bsId.UpdateString("service","Example")
bsId.UpdateString("username","Joe")

# ----------------------------------------------------
secrets = Chilkat::CkSecrets.new()

# Setup for the AWS Secrets Manager
secrets.put_Location("aws_secrets_manager")
success = secrets.SetBootstrapSecret(bsId,bootstrap)
if (success == false)
    print secrets.lastErrorText() + "\n";
    exit
end

# Let's create or update a secret in the AWS Secrets Manager.
# (The secret is updated if it already exists.)
json = Chilkat::CkJsonObject.new()
json.UpdateString("appName","Test")
json.UpdateString("service","Something")
json.UpdateString("domain","Xyz")
json.UpdateString("username","Abc")

# Create or update the secret.
success = secrets.UpdateSecretStr(json,"This is the secret.")
if (success == false)
    print secrets.lastErrorText() + "\n";
    exit
end

print "Success." + "\n";

# Here you can see the secret that was created:
