Dim success As Boolean
success = False

// This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

Dim secrets As New Chilkat.Secrets

// On Windows, this is the Windows Credentials Manager
// On MacOS/iOS, it is the Apple Keychain
secrets.Location = "local_manager"

// 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","Starfish20")

// 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 2KB in size.
// You can test using this same JPG at this URL:
Dim url As String
url = "https://chilkatdownload.com/sample_data/starfish20.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.")
