#  First create a JWT to be sent in the POST to https://vnd.proda.humanservices.gov.au/mga/sps/oauth/oauth20/token

#  Load an RSA private key from a PEM file.
#  Chilkat provides alternative methods to load from other formats, or to load from a string or binary data.

#  Set the timestamp defining an expiration time (end time) for the token
#  to be now + 1 hour (3600 seconds)

#  Produce the smallest possible JWT:
