Setting cdp_private_key incorrect format

[k8s-1]

Hi,

I set the cdp_private_key as follows:
cdp configure set cdp_private_key "$CDP_PRIVATE_KEY"

The value of environment variable CDP_PRIVATE_KEY is:
`-----BEGIN OPENSSH PRIVATE KEY-----

---

---

-----END OPENSSH PRIVATE KEY-----
`

After executing command cdp datalake backup-datalake --datalake-name ****** --backup-location ******
, I get error

Failed to import private key from: 'shared-credentials-file'. The private key is corrupted or not in the right format. The private key was extracted either from 'env' (environment variables), 'shared-credentials-file' (a profile in the shared credentials file.....

What should be the correct format for the CDP_PRIVATE_KEY so this configuration is usable in e.g. cdp datalake backup-datalake?

Hi @k8s-1 ,

The cdp_private_key value needs to be the private portion of an API access key, not an SSH private key. See the following documentation page: https://docs.cloudera.com/cdp-public-cloud/cloud/cli/topics/mc-cli-generating-an-api-access-key.html

Hi @k8s-1 ! Were you able to get the API access key generated as needed?
