// 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:

// IBM Cloud API 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
$bootstrap = new 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.
$bsId = new JsonObject();
$bsId->UpdateString('appName', 'ibm_bs');
$bsId->UpdateString('service', 'Example');
$bsId->UpdateString('username', 'Joe');

// ----------------------------------------------------
$secrets = new Secrets();

// Setup for the IBM Cloud Secrets
$secrets->Location = 'ibm_cloud';
try {
    $secrets->SetBootstrapSecret($bsId, $bootstrap);

    // 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.

    $json->UpdateString('appName', 'Test2');
    $json->UpdateString('service', 'Custom');
    $json->UpdateString('domain', 'Ocean');
    $json->UpdateString('username', 'Starfish');

    // You'll also need to specify your IBM Cloud instance ID and region for each API call.

    $json->UpdateString('region', 'us-south');

    // 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 6KB in size.
    // You can test using this same JPG at this URL:
    $url = 'https://chilkatdownload.com/sample_data/starfish.jpg';
    $http = new Http();
    $bd = new BinData();
    $http->DownloadBd($url, $bd);

    // Create or update the binary secret.
    $secrets->UpdateSecretBd($json, $bd);
