This guide explains how to integrate the Kron PAM C++ SDK into your application, configure the client, and retrieve secrets programmatically. The example below demonstrates a minimal working pattern for requesting a password from the Kron PAM Password Vault.

### Example Implementation

Below is a complete example demonstrating password retrieval.

```cpp
#include "pch.h"
#include <string>
#include <iostream>
#include "password_manager.h"

using namespace winrt;
using namespace Windows::Foundation;


class AccessServiceClient {
public:
    AccessServiceClient() : manager(PasswordManager::instance("10.20.30.40", 6396)) {
        manager.setScAddress("https://test.krontech.com");
    }

    Response* sendRequest() {
        AccessRequestBuilder builder("staticTestAccount", "6d8beac9-843c-41d1-8131-0cfc09fc4899", "/TestLinuxServers");
        builder.setComment("try to see the comment").setShowUserName("true").setapiVersion("v2").setResponseType("json");
        return manager.getPassword(&builder);
    }

private:
    PasswordManager manager;
};

void Run() {
    std::cout << "Getting Password..." << std::endl;
    std::cout.flush();
    AccessServiceClient client;
    Response* response = client.sendRequest();
    if (response->hasError()) {
        std::cout << "rpc error response [" << response->getErrValue() << "]" << std::endl;
        std::cout.flush();
    }
    else {
        std::cout << "rpc ss response [" << response->getValue() << "]" << std::endl;
        std::cout.flush();
    }
}

int main(int argc, char* argv[]) {
    Run();
    std::cout.flush();
    return 0;
}


```
