How can you set the private key for a PrivateKey credential object using the PowerShell module

Hi,

I'm able to set a public key for a new PrivateKey credential in RDM, but when I try to set a private key
with $test.Credentials.PrivateKeyData = "MyPrivateKey" it doesn't work. Do I need to set other values or what am I doing wrong?

Kind regards,
Victor

Hello,

Thank you for contacting the Devolutions Service Desk !

Where exactly are you setting these values ?

When I say this, I mean in which field of what entry type ?

Best regards,

Im trying to add my own private key to a "PrivateKey" credential object. First I'm saving the content of a new session in a PowerShell variable. After that is done I'm changing the values of this new variable with $variable.Credentials.PublicKey and $variable.Credentials.PrivateKeyData

I don't know if that makes more sense. I'm just trying to add my own private key, adding a public key with this method works perfectly fine.

I've figured out how to do it. I just had to set the privatekeytype to data that way I'm able to store my own private key in the PrivateKeyData parameter.
