How to generate what's needed for credentialID

[ps895r]

Describe your use-case which is not covered by existing documentation.

I'm trying to figure out how to generate the credentialID that the in-toto Jenkins plugin is looking for. Do I just need to create a secret file in Jenkins credentials? If so, is it then just doing a ssh-keygen and then adding that id_rsa file? That's what I've tried to do, but I keep getting the error in the title: Could not find credentials entry with ID 'toto'

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Reference any relevant documentation, other materials or issues/pull requests that can be used for inspiration.

Hi @ps895r can you post your Jenkins system logs for this error?
For me, it points to this page https://www.jenkins.io/blog/2018/03/15/jep-200-lts/ and says this file might need some changes to reconcile with this update.

Here is the full error I see:

I have tried using various names for credentialID. Below I tried generating a ssh key and then creating a Jenkins credential to be used as a variable. I've tried hard coding, etc. but always get some kind of similar error, which made me initially wonder if I'm just not understanding how to generate the credentialID.
