' This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
' See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

Dim secrets As New Chilkat.Secrets

' On Windows, this is the Windows Credentials Manager
' On MacOS/iOS, it is the Apple Keychain
secrets.Location = "local_manager"

' 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.
Dim json As New Chilkat.JsonObject
json.UpdateString("appName","Test2")
json.UpdateString("service","Custom")
json.UpdateString("domain","Ocean")
json.UpdateString("username","Starfish20")

' 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 2KB in size.
' You can test using this same JPG at this URL:
Dim url As String = "https://chilkatdownload.com/sample_data/starfish20.jpg"
Dim http As New Chilkat.Http
Dim bd As New Chilkat.BinData
success = http.DownloadBd(url,bd)
If (success = False) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(http.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If


' Create or update the binary secret.
success = secrets.UpdateSecretBd(json,bd)
If (success = False) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(secrets.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If


Debug.WriteLine("Success.")
