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.

Dim success As Boolean
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:

// 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
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
success = bsId.UpdateString("appName","ibm_bs")
success = bsId.UpdateString("service","Example")
success = bsId.UpdateString("username","Joe")

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

// Setup for the IBM Cloud Secrets
secrets.Location = "ibm_cloud"
success = secrets.SetBootstrapSecret(bsId,bootstrap)
If (success = False) Then
    System.DebugLog(secrets.LastErrorText)
    Return
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 Chilkat.JsonObject
success = json.UpdateString("appName","Test2")
success = json.UpdateString("service","Custom")
success = json.UpdateString("domain","Ocean")
success = json.UpdateString("username","Starfish")

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

// 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 Chilkat.Http
Dim bd As New Chilkat.BinData
success = http.DownloadBd(url,bd)
If (success = False) Then
    System.DebugLog(http.LastErrorText)
    Return
End If

// Create or update the binary secret.
success = secrets.UpdateSecretBd(json,bd)
If (success = False) Then
    System.DebugLog(secrets.LastErrorText)
    Return
End If

System.DebugLog("Success.")

// Here you can see the secret that was created in the IBM Cloud Secrets:
