void ChilkatSample(void)
    {
    bool success = false;

    //  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
    CkSecretsW bootstrap;

    //  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(L"local_manager");

    //  Specify the bootstrap secret to be used.
    CkJsonObjectW bsId;
    bsId.UpdateString(L"appName",L"AWS");
    bsId.UpdateString(L"service",L"Example");
    bsId.UpdateString(L"username",L"Joe");

    //  ----------------------------------------------------
    CkSecretsW secrets;

    //  Setup for the AWS Secrets Manager
    secrets.put_Location(L"aws_secrets_manager");
    success = secrets.SetBootstrapSecret(bsId,bootstrap);
    if (success == false) {
        wprintf(L"%s\n",secrets.lastErrorText());
        return;
