Hi, @cicciolinamiranda thanks for reporting! We are working on more prioritized issues at the moment but will get back to this one soon.

I am seeing the same issue. Has there been any progress on resolving it?

A quick update. I was able to resolve this issue by opening the private key in a text editor (notepad++). I then removed all the carriage return and newline characters so that everything was on one line. Finally I added "\n" after the header and before the footer.

-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----\n[encoded text all on one line]\n-----END PRIVATE KEY-----

The help text in Azure shows a format like this, but I assumed it meant the actual newline character, not the escaped version.
