(Swift 2) IBM Cloud Secrets - Create or Update a Binary Secret

See more Secrets Examples

Demonstrates how to create or update a binary secret stored in the IBM Cloud Secrets.

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

    // 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
    let bootstrap = CkoSecrets()

    // 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.
    let bsId = CkoJsonObject()
    bsId.UpdateString("appName", value: "ibm_bs")
    bsId.UpdateString("service", value: "Example")
    bsId.UpdateString("username", value: "Joe")

    // ----------------------------------------------------
    let secrets = CkoSecrets()

    // Setup for the IBM Cloud Secrets
    secrets.Location = "ibm_cloud"
    var success: Bool = secrets.SetBootstrapSecret(bsId, secrets: bootstrap)
    if success == false {
        print("\(secrets.LastErrorText)")
        return
    }

    // 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.
    let json = CkoJsonObject()
    json.UpdateString("appName", value: "Test2")
    json.UpdateString("service", value: "Custom")
    json.UpdateString("domain", value: "Ocean")
    json.UpdateString("username", value: "Starfish")

    // You'll also need to specify your IBM Cloud instance ID and region for each API call.
    json.UpdateString("instance_id", value: "a88a0c56-50a6-4461-9911-345b173e1171")
    json.UpdateString("region", value: "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:
    var url: String? = "https://chilkatdownload.com/sample_data/starfish.jpg"
    let http = CkoHttp()
    let bd = CkoBinData()
    success = http.DownloadBd(url, binData: bd)
    if success == false {
        print("\(http.LastErrorText)")
        return
    }

    // Create or update the binary secret.
    success = secrets.UpdateSecretBd(json, secret: bd)
    if success == false {
        print("\(secrets.LastErrorText)")
        return
    }

    print("Success.")

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