' 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

Dim bootstrap As New ChilkatSecrets

' 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.
