Example: Secrets.SecretSpecToJson method

Demonstrates the SecretSpecToJson method. This method converts a secret specification string to the JSON required to create or lookup the secret. VB.NET

Dim success As Boolean = False

Dim secrets As New Chilkat.Secrets
Dim json As New Chilkat.JsonObject
json.EmitCompact = False

'  A secret name can include up to 4 components:
'  [appName] / service / [domain] / username

'  This example will demonstrate secret specification strings
'  for each possible combination.

'  ------------------------------------------------------

Dim sspec As String = "!!imap|john@example.com"

secrets.SecretSpecToJson(sspec,json)
Debug.WriteLine(json.Emit())

'  Result:
'  {
'    "service": "imap",
'    "username": "john@example.com"
'  }

'  ------------------------------------------------------
'  2: appName + service + username
sspec = "!!myApp|imap|john@example.com"

secrets.SecretSpecToJson(sspec,json)
Debug.WriteLine(json.Emit())

'  Result:
'  {
'    "appName": "myApp",
'    "service": "imap",
'    "username": "john@example.com"
