    DECLARE @sTmp0 nvarchar(4000)
    -- This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
    -- See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

    -- You can use OAuth2 client credentials with an Azure App (service principal) that has
    -- the required Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) permissions.
    -- In this case, it would be service principal with RBAC permissions to administer and manage
    -- the key vault.

    -- You can create the Azure App (also known as the Service Principal)
    -- in the Azure CLI (command line interface) as follows:

    -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
    -- az ad sp create-for-rbac --name http://example.com --role Contributor
    -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------

    -- The argument to --name must be a valid URI that is a verified domain of your 
    -- organization or its subdomain.

    -- The output of the above "az ad sp create-for-rbac ..." command is JSON such as this:

    -- {
    --   "appId": "25ac6e3a-9ac7-42b9-b13e-18644c1de959",
    --   "displayName": "azure-cli-2023-10-14-22-38-15",
    --   "name": "http://example.com",
    --   "password": "f1f2f3f0-52dc-4236-8295-c8a1d6aa393c",
    --   "tenant": "4d8dfd66-68d1-13b0-af5c-b31b4b3d53d"
    -- }

    -- Save the values in the above JSON.  You'll need it below..

    -- You'll also want to add the role of "Key Vault Administrator" to the Service Principal
    -- for the particular key vault.

    -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
    -- az role assignment create --assignee <Application-ID> --role "Key Vault Administrator" 
    --       --scope /subscriptions/<Subscription-ID>/resourceGroups/<Resource-Group-Name>/providers/Microsoft.KeyVault/vaults/<KeyVault-Name>
