// 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
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
Dim success As Boolean
success = bsId.UpdateString("appName","AWS")

// ----------------------------------------------------
Dim secrets As New Chilkat.Secrets

// Setup for the AWS Secrets Manager
secrets.Location = "aws_secrets_manager"
Dim success As Boolean
success = secrets.SetBootstrapSecret(bsId,bootstrap)
If (success = False) Then
    System.DebugLog(secrets.LastErrorText)

// Specify the secret to be fetched.
Dim json As New Chilkat.JsonObject
