2 years agobrchar . We are currently supporting 2 private key formats: PKCS8 and OpenSSH. The value
field in the JSON output will show the original (internal) format of the private key, which is PKCS8 in most cases (The only exception is when you import a private key that already has OpenSSH format). However, you can always reliably get the OpenSSH format by looking into ssh_formats['openssh']['value']
.
The initial considerations of why we picked this output design, was to not break the scripts of people who were already relying on the value
field returning the PKCS8 format of their key.
