// Setup Bootstrap Secret in Local Manager
// Setup Bootstrap Secret in Memory

// 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.
