Document format of privateKey config

[davidjgonzalez]

It would be nice to document the expected format of the private key. I need use get an IMS token from a serverless action, and passing in all secrets as strings to the action. I can't seem to get the private key in the correct format for this library to accept it.

When using it w/ my private key i get the following error: error: error:0909006C:PEM routines:get_name:no start line .. which i assume is an issue w/ my private key format.

For posterity, you can pass in a private key in to the action in the following formats via the .env file.

Plaintext

Surround the plaint text key with " and replace linebreaks with `\n\

...
PRIVATE_KEY="-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----\nMIIEvQIBADANBgkqhkiG9w\n...\nVNZ1a4qk8s5qQ7Tr+3TnNZjvDiQ=
-----END PRIVATE KEY-----"

Base64

Base64 encode the private key file using your favorite technique.

...
PRIVATE_KEY=theBase64Encoded....ValueOfThePrivateKey==

...and in the action decode it, before passing it to auth(..)...

const privateKey = Buffer.from(params.PRIVATE_KEY, 'base64').toString('utf-8');
