    //  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:

    //  AWS Region
    //  AWS Access Key
    //  AWS Secret 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
    var bootstrap = 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.
    var bsId = new chilkat.JsonObject();
    bsId.UpdateString("appName","AWS");
    bsId.UpdateString("service","Example");
    bsId.UpdateString("username","Joe");
