SNOW-1808401: Issue while reading private key from azure functions configs

[hemantkadam03]

I always get below exception when my azure serverless application reads private key and tries to connect to snowflake.

Error: Could not read private key with value passed in connection string. \n Error : incorrect private key value or private key format: use "\n" for newlines and double the equals sign. SqlState: , VendorCode: 270052, QueryId: : System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

I have tried adding "\n" and double equal signs in my privatekey but still not working. Strange thing is same connection string with private key works fine, if i run serverless application locally in visual studio on my windows laptop. below is sample snowflake connection string which i am coufiguring in cloud service.

account=accountName;ROLE=roleName;user=userName;AUTHENTICATOR=snowflake_jwt;PRIVATE_KEY="-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----\nASDASDASDjkhkjhASDASDkjhkjj\najhgsdjhasgdhjasdASDASDASDajshdjhsaasdas\njkashdkhjsk\n83798324jksdfhkjsdfv7jXxSXsY4xW\n-----END PRIVATE KEY-----\n";schema=schemaName;db=dbName;

Can you please suggest any solution to this. i did connect with snowflake team but they mention as request is not reaching to snowflake so it means the issue is with .net driver which is Snowflake.Data V2.2.0
