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

Tcl

load ./chilkat.dll

set success 0

# 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
set bootstrap [new_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.
# ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CkSecrets_put_Location $bootstrap "local_manager"

# Specify the bootstrap secret to be used.
