daf-ethr-did implement import/exportIdentity

[rado0x54]

Hey,

we would have a use-case to initialize the identity store with a reproducibly same key/identity, but currently the methods importIdentity and exportIdentity are not implemented on daf-ethr-did. Would the export Format just be a string of an encoded private Key or contain any other information?

If there is another way to initialize daf with a consistent identity, that would also help as a workaround.

Also there is a minor typo in the AbstractIdentityProvider:

  exportIdentity(did: string): Promise<string> {
    return Promise.reject('Method importIdentity not implemented')
  }

@rado0x54 daf identity-manager --import and daf identity-manager --export

Thanks, I'll have a look.!

Hey @simonas-notcat, in my mind the importIdentity should not require the identityProviderType if that is part of the export. Furthermore, the export provider string is not the one required. So there must be some discrepancy in the code.
Export: "provider":"rinkeby-ethr"
Required: rinkeby-ethr-did
e.g. this code did not work for me because of that.

      let jsonIssuerConfig = JSON.parse(process.env.ISSUER_IDENTITY);
      await core.identityManager.importIdentity(jsonIssuerConfig.provider, process.env.ISSUER_IDENTITY);

So either don't export the provider or don't require it on import.
