// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

// First load the JSON key into a string.

// If the application is requesting delegated access:
// The email address of the user for which the application is requesting delegated access,
// then set the email address here. (Otherwise leave it empty.)

// The Chilkat socket object is used so that the connection can be established
// through proxies or an SSH tunnel if desired.
