' 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:

' Private Key PEM

' 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
Dim bootstrap As New ChilkatSecrets

' 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.
Dim bsId As New ChilkatJsonObject
success = bsId.UpdateString("appName","oracle_bs")
success = bsId.UpdateString("service","Example")
success = bsId.UpdateString("username","Joe")

' ----------------------------------------------------
Dim secrets As New ChilkatSecrets

' Setup for the Oracle Cloud Secrets
secrets.Location = "oracle_cloud"
Dim success As Long
success = secrets.SetBootstrapSecret(bsId,bootstrap)
If (success = 0) Then
    Debug.Print secrets.LastErrorText
    Exit Sub
End If

' 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.
Dim json As New ChilkatJsonObject
success = json.UpdateString("appName","Test2")
success = json.UpdateString("service","Custom")
success = json.UpdateString("domain","Ocean")
success = json.UpdateString("username","Starfish")

' Oracle Cloud Secrets requires a lot of additional information for each API call.
' You'll need to replace the following with your values.
' Note: To learn how to find these values, go to an AI such as ChatGPT and ask (for example) "In Oracle Cloud, where do I find my master key OCID?"
success = json.UpdateString("vault_name","ocid1.vault.oc1.us-chicago-1.ijttzlz7aadxo.abxxeljt4gv6tgrar66i5ugffincjmp52oveht3y2zn74rgo6raz6h72qtia")

' 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:
Dim url As String
url = "https://chilkatdownload.com/sample_data/starfish.jpg"
Dim http As New ChilkatHttp
Dim bd As New ChilkatBinData
success = http.DownloadBd(url,bd)
If (success = 0) Then
    Debug.Print http.LastErrorText
    Exit Sub
End If

' Create or update the binary secret.
success = secrets.UpdateSecretBd(json,bd)
If (success = 0) Then
    Debug.Print secrets.LastErrorText
    Exit Sub
End If

Debug.Print "Success."

' Here you can see the secret that was created in the Oracle Cloud Secrets:
