' 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,

' Setup Bootstrap Secret in Local Manager
' Setup Bootstrap Secret in Memory
Dim bootstrap As New Chilkat.Secrets

' 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 Chilkat.JsonObject
bsId.UpdateString("appName","AWS")
bsId.UpdateString("service","Example")
bsId.UpdateString("username","Joe")

Dim secrets As New Chilkat.Secrets

' Setup for the AWS Secrets Manager
