The private key is not formatted correctly when setting up SAM certificate credentials

$

I have an ssh rsa private key that can be used to ssh without a password to a set of servers.

 

using the SAM certificate credentials library, i proceed to paste the contents of an existing rsa private key.  i set the username and leave the passphrase blank (since this is a passwordless key).

 

the response i get is: The private key is not formatted correctly or it is encrypted and the password is either wrong or missing. It is also possible that an error occurred during import.

 

i notice that it says that it has to be in PEM format, but i read that private keys are already in PEM format.   Any thoughts on what I'm doing wrong?
