IBM Cloud Secrets - Create or Update a Binary Secret

See more Secrets Examples

Demonstrates how to create or update a binary secret stored in the IBM Cloud Secrets.

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

//  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
oBootstrap := CreateObject("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.
//  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
oBootstrap:Location := "local_manager"

//  Specify the bootstrap secret to be used.
oBsId := CreateObject("Chilkat.JsonObject")
oBsId:UpdateString("appName", "ibm_bs")
oBsId:UpdateString("service", "Example")
oBsId:UpdateString("username", "Joe")

//  ----------------------------------------------------
oSecrets := CreateObject("Chilkat.Secrets")

//  Setup for the IBM Cloud Secrets
oSecrets:Location := "ibm_cloud"
nSuccess := oSecrets:SetBootstrapSecret(oBsId, oBootstrap)
IF (nSuccess == 0)
    ? oSecrets:LastErrorText
    oBootstrap:destroy()
    oBsId:destroy()
    oSecrets:destroy()
    RETURN

//  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.
oJson := CreateObject("Chilkat.JsonObject")
oJson:UpdateString("appName", "Test2")
oJson:UpdateString("service", "Custom")
oJson:UpdateString("domain", "Ocean")
oJson:UpdateString("username", "Starfish")

//  You'll also need to specify your IBM Cloud instance ID and region for each API call.
oJson:UpdateString("instance_id", "a88a0c56-50a6-4461-9911-345b173e1171")

//  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:
cUrl := "https://chilkatdownload.com/sample_data/starfish.jpg"
oHttp := CreateObject("Chilkat.Http")
oBd := CreateObject("Chilkat.BinData")
nSuccess := oHttp:DownloadBd(cUrl, oBd)

    ? oHttp:LastErrorText
    oBootstrap:destroy()
    oBsId:destroy()
    oSecrets:destroy()
    oJson:destroy()
    oHttp:destroy()
    oBd:destroy()
    RETURN
ENDIF

//  Create or update the binary secret.
nSuccess := oSecrets:UpdateSecretBd(oJson, oBd)
