Example 7: Private key credential

This example shows you how to call POST Credentials/Create.

TIP Know your CA's requirements for credentials. Remember that you are adding credentials as is. Always validate the Credential object. The best way to check is to create a CA Template in the UI and apply your credential. If an error occurs, correct the credential, and retry.

The Values array needs these elements:

Name: Username, Type:string and Value that is the account name.
Name: Key, Type:byte[] and Value that is private key.
