IBM Cloud Secrets - Create or Update a Binary Secret

See more Secrets Examples

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.

  //  The bootstrap secret will contain the following information:

  //  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.

  //  The purpose of this example is to show how arbitrary binary data
  //  can be stored as a secret.
