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

    var secrets = 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.
    var json = new chilkat.JsonObject();
    json.UpdateString("appName","Test2");
    json.UpdateString("service","Custom");
    json.UpdateString("domain","Ocean");
    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:
    var url = "https://chilkatdownload.com/sample_data/starfish20.jpg";
    var http = new chilkat.Http();
    var bd = new chilkat.BinData();
    success = http.DownloadBd(url,bd);
    if (success == false) {
        console.log(http.LastErrorText);
        return;
    }

    //  Create or update the binary secret.
    success = secrets.UpdateSecretBd(json,bd);
    if (success == false) {
