JWT signature for both node.js and browsers

Time:09-10

I want to authenticate Salesforce's OAuth 2.0 JWT Bearer Flow with both node.js and Browser.
I have created a public key and a private key on Windows with the following command.

openssl req -x509 -sha256 -nodes -days 36500 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout salesforce.key -out salesforce.crt

I tried JWT Sign with the following Typescript code using panva/jose

import { SignJWT } from "jose";
import serverKey from "../../../credential/salesforce.key?raw";

export async function jwtSign() {
    const assertion = await new SignJWT({ prn: import.meta.env.VITE_SF_MAIL })
        .setProtectedHeader({ alg: 'RS256' })
        .setIssuer(import.meta.env.VITE_SF_CLIENT_ID)
        .setAudience(import.meta.env.VITE_SF_AUDIENCE)
        .setExpirationTime('15h')
        .sign(new TextEncoder().encode(serverKey));
    return assertion;
}

But I get the following error.

Key must be one of type KeyObject or CryptoKey. Received an instance of Uint8Array

How can i fix this error?
Or is there any other way to implement it?

CodePudding user response:

replace new TextEncoder().encode(serverKey) with await importPKCS8(serverKey, 'RS256')

importPKCS8 (docs) is the function used to import asymmetric private keys in PKCS8 format.
