Cloudinary media library: can't log in using signature and timestamp

Hello, I’m trying to initialize the CMS manually and pass the Cloudinary signature and timestamp during run time using the Netlify function with the below settings but those parameters are not getting passed. If I pass the complete config with load_config_file:false I’m able to auto sign in to the Cloudinary widget. I referenced these docs https://www.netlifycms.org/docs/beta-features/#manual-initialization and issue https://github.com/netlify/netlify-cms/issues/1999

Source Code PR: https://github.com/hpe-dev-incubator/hpe-dev-portal/pull/275

To Reproduce Follow the instructions from this comment https://github.com/netlify/netlify-cms/issues/1999#issuecomment-462473073

Expected behavior Should be able to auto-login into Cloudinary media library.

Hello, again @erezrokah I’m going to drop off from this issue for now, in case someone else is interested they can give it a go. If there’s a future response about how to reproduce the bug I’m open to try it again. 😃
