    ; for how Chilkat is automatically getting the OAuth2 access token for your application.

    ; }

    ; The alg can be one of the following
    ; ES256  ECDSA using P-256 and SHA-256
    ; ES256K ECDSA using P-256K and SHA-256
    ; ES384  ECDSA using P-384 and SHA-384
    ; ES512  ECDSA using P-521 and SHA-512

    ; PS384  RSASSA-PSS using SHA-384 and MGF1 with SHA-384

    ; RS256  RSASSA-PKCS1-v1_5 using SHA-256
    ; RS384  RSASSA-PKCS1-v1_5 using SHA-384
    ; RS512  RSASSA-PKCS1-v1_5 using SHA-512
