-- 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:
-- Private Key PEM

-- 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
local bootstrap = chilkat.Secrets.new()

-- 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.
local bsId = chilkat.JsonObject.new()

-- Setup for the Oracle Cloud Secrets

-- Let's create or update a secret in the Oracle Cloud Secrets.

-- Oracle Cloud Secrets requires a lot of additional information for each API call.
-- You'll need to replace the following with your values.
-- Note: To learn how to find these values, go to an AI such as ChatGPT and ask (for example) "In Oracle Cloud, where do I find my master key OCID?"
json:update_string("vault_name", "ocid1.vault.oc1.us-chicago-1.ijttzlz7aadxo.abxxeljt4gv6tgrar66i5ugffincjmp52oveht3y2zn74rgo6raz6h72qtia")
