Do you know how I can test if my process was successful in using the custom key? I mean what should I check to verify it is working an using the key I provided correctly?

You can deploy a whoami canister. You’ll know you’re successful if you can log in with II, check your principal, log out, and then log in a second time, getting the same principal back.

github.com

krpeacock/auth-client-demo/blob/main/src/whoami/main.mo

actor {
    public shared (msg) func whoami() : async Principal {
        msg.caller
    };
};

Thank you all for your help and insights. For anyone who might be looking for the end solution, based on what everyone said here, I created this proxy page:

functionland/Web-Identity-Providers: This is a proxy that can be used to connect applications to Internet Identity by Dfinity. (github.com)

main code here:
Web-Identity-Providers/source/src at main · functionland/Web-Identity-Providers (github.com)

And used it here:
photos/auth.ts at main · functionland/photos (github.com)
line 15 to 22
