I am trying to upload a secret in AWS Secrets Manager. The file is in the format

{
 "privateKeyPassword": "testpassword",
 "certificate": "-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
MIIE5DCCAsygAwIBAgIRAPJdwaFaNRrytHBto0j5BA0wDQYJKoZIhvcNAQELBQAw
...
j0Lh4/+1HfgyE2KlmII36dg4IMzNjAFEBZiCRoPimO40s1cRqtFHXoal0QQbIlxk
cmUuiAii9R0=
-----END CERTIFICATE-----
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----

rQoiowbbk5wXCheYSANQIfTZ6weQTgiCHCCbuuMKNVS95FkXm0vqVD/YpXKwA/no
c8PH3PSoAaRwMMgOSA2ALJvbRz8mpg==
-----END CERTIFICATE-----",
 "privateKey": "-----BEGIN ENCRYPTED PRIVATE KEY-----
MIIFKzBVBgkqhkiG9w0BBQ0wSDAnBgkqhkiG9w0BBQwwGgQUiAFcK5hT/X7Kjmgp
...
QrSekqF+kWzmB6nAfSzgO9IaoAaytLvNgGTckWeUkWn/V0Ck+LdGUXzAC4RxZnoQ
zp2mwJn2NYB7AZ7+imp0azDZb+8YG2aUCiyqb6PnnA==
-----END ENCRYPTED PRIVATE KEY-----"
}

which exactly matches with the documentation here. But when I run my lambda function I get an error in the configuration:

Last processing result: PROBLEM: Certificate and/or private key must be in PEM format.

I think the encrypted key is the problem, I need to add the private key password in the secret. I am not sure how to do that or if this is the problem? How can I rectify this?

The correct format is a well-formed JSON and each break line in the PEM values should be replaced by the \n character, as follows:

{
  "privateKeyPassword": "testpassword",
  "certificate": "-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----\nMIIE5DCCAsygAwIBAgIRAPJdwaFaNRrytHBto0j5BA0wDQYJKoZIhvcNAQELBQAw\n...\nj0Lh4/+1HfgyE2KlmII36dg4IMzNjAFEBZiCRoPimO40s1cRqtFHXoal0QQbIlxk\ncmUuiAii9R0=\n-----END CERTIFICATE-----",
  "privateKey": "-----BEGIN ENCRYPTED PRIVATE KEY-----\nMIIFKzBVBgkqhkiG9w0BBQ0wSDAnBgkqhkiG9w0BBQwwGgQUiAFcK5hT/X7Kjmgp\n...\nQrSekqF+kWzmB6nAfSzgO9IaoAaytLvNgGTckWeUkWn/V0Ck+LdGUXzAC4RxZnoQ\nzp2mwJn2NYB7AZ7+imp0azDZb+8YG2aUCiyqb6PnnA==\n-----END ENCRYPTED PRIVATE KEY-----"
}
