JWT Token Generation from PKCS#8 Private key

Question

Hi, 
 I am currently working on a use case that requires the generation of JWT tokens based on PKCS#8 standards. I've chosen JWT plugin for this task. However, it seems that this plugin is compatible only with private keys that are based on PKCS#1 (RSA) standards. 
 Is there any known workaround to fulfill this requirement ? 
 
 Thanks,

Did you try converting your pkcs 8 key into pkcs 1 and then using that with the JWT plugin? 
 openssl rsa -in pkcs8.key -out pkcs1.key
