Unable to validate_config when supplying "private_key_content" in dict about oci-python-sdk

[arthall]

Try "key_content" instead of "private_key_content". The identity client uses config.get("key_content") to set the private_key_content in the signer. This happens here: https://github.com/oracle/oci-python-sdk/blob/master/src/oci/identity/identity_client.py#L69.

oci.config.validate_config() uses "key_content" as the fall back for "key_file". As long as one of them is defined the config will be accepted as valid, as long as the other requirements are met.

Note: You cannot use "key_content" in you config file, you can only set it programmatically. Storing your private key in the config file is not supported.

@mm0 Have you had a chance to change "private_key_content" to "key_content" and verify that it works? I'll close this issue after the next release on Thursday, unless you still have concerns.

@arthall Thank you for the clarification, it does appear as though using "key_content" instead of "private_key_content" works successfully. Thank you.
