Provision key to db

[RobertoSnap]

Hi

Running am Veramo agent on a server. Need to provision the database with a certain privatekey (its currently in uint8array format).

How do i create a new key (or identifier) from a certain privatekey?

Here is our setup and what we are testing against

Hi, here's an example of importing an Ed25519 signing key:

const keyData = {
        kid: 'ea75250531f6834328ac210618253288e4c54632962a9708ca82e4a399f79000',
        kms: 'local',
        type: <TKeyType>'Ed25519',
        publicKeyHex: 'ea75250531f6834328ac210618253288e4c54632962a9708ca82e4a399f79000',
        privateKeyHex: '65f341541643070564bb48d9fc10556f2dec246fa056e436a8ec1cdef8c74766ea75250531f6834328ac210618253288e4c54632962a9708ca82e4a399f79000',
      }
const imported = await agent.keyManagerImport(keyData)

Is this what you mean by provisioning the database with a key?
If not, then please elaborate

I'm sure this need not be said but, just in case it's not already obvious, don't reuse these keys except for tests.

hehe, its obvious, this is testing env :)

When useing didManagerImport to import .keys

Should they be provided encrypted with secret box or un-ecrypted?

I assumed it was encrypted when useing secretbox and un-encrypted when useing secret box( ofc with same secret box entropy).

When providing the data to didManagerImport, it should be in clear text form.
