    // The bootstrap secret will contain the following information:

    // 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"
