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
bootstrap := TChilkatSecrets.Create(Self);

// 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.
bsId := TChilkatJsonObject.Create(Self);
bsId.UpdateString('appName','ibm_bs');
bsId.UpdateString('service','Example');
bsId.UpdateString('username','Joe');

// ----------------------------------------------------
secrets := TChilkatSecrets.Create(Self);

// Setup for the IBM Cloud Secrets
secrets.Location := 'ibm_cloud';
success := secrets.SetBootstrapSecret(bsId.ControlInterface,bootstrap.ControlInterface);
if (success = 0) then
  begin
    Memo1.Lines.Add(secrets.LastErrorText);

  end;

// 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.
json := TChilkatJsonObject.Create(Self);
json.UpdateString('appName','Test2');
json.UpdateString('service','Custom');
json.UpdateString('domain','Ocean');
json.UpdateString('username','Starfish');

// You'll also need to specify your IBM Cloud instance ID and region for each API call.
json.UpdateString('instance_id','a88a0c56-50a6-4461-9911-345b173e1171');
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:
url := 'https://chilkatdownload.com/sample_data/starfish.jpg';
http := TChilkatHttp.Create(Self);
bd := TChilkatBinData.Create(Self);
success := http.DownloadBd(url,bd.ControlInterface);
if (success = 0) then
  begin
    Memo1.Lines.Add(http.LastErrorText);
    Exit;
  end;

// Create or update the binary secret.
success := secrets.UpdateSecretBd(json.ControlInterface,bd.ControlInterface);
if (success = 0) then
  begin
    Memo1.Lines.Add(secrets.LastErrorText);
    Exit;
  end;

Memo1.Lines.Add('Success.');

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