22 <B>OVERVIEW</B>
23 gsutil currently supports several types of credentials/authentication, as
24 well as the ability to access public data anonymously (see "gsutil help anon"
25 for more on anonymous access). Each of these type of credentials is discussed
26 in more detail below, along with information about configuring and using
27 credentials via either the Cloud SDK or standalone installations of gsutil.
28
29
30 <B>Configuring/Using Credentials via Cloud SDK Distribution of gsutil</B>
31 When gsutil is installed/used via the Cloud SDK ("gcloud"), credentials are
32 stored by Cloud SDK in a non-user-editable file located under
33 ~/.config/gcloud (any manipulation of credentials should be done via the
34 gcloud auth command). If you need to set up multiple credentials (e.g., one
35 for an individual user account and a second for a service account), the
36 gcloud auth command manages the credentials for you, and you switch between
37 credentials using the gcloud auth command as well (for more details see
38 https://developers.google.com/cloud/sdk/gcloud/#gcloud.auth).
39
40 Once credentials have been configured via gcloud auth, those credentials will
41 be used regardless of whether the user has any boto configuration files (which
42 are located at ~/.boto unless a different path is specified in the BOTO_CONFIG
43 environment variable). However, gsutil will still look for credentials in the
44 boto config file if a type of credential is needed that's not stored in the
45 gcloud credential store (e.g., an HMAC credential for an S3 account).
46
47
48 <B>Configuring/Using Credentials via Standalone gsutil Distribution</B>
49 If you installed a standalone distribution of gsutil (downloaded from
50 https://pub.storage.googleapis.com/gsutil.tar.gz,
51 https://pub.storage.googleapis.com/gsutil.zip, or PyPi), credentials are
52 configured using the gsutil config command, and are stored in the
53 user-editable boto config file (located at ~/.boto unless a different path is
54 specified in the BOTO_CONFIG environment). In this case if you want to set up
55 multiple credentials (e.g., one for an individual user account and a second
56 for a service account), you run gsutil config once for each credential, and
57 save each of the generated boto config files (e.g., renaming one to
58 ~/.boto_user_account and the second to ~/.boto_service_account), and you
59 switch between the credentials using the BOTO_CONFIG environment variable
60 (e.g., by running BOTO_CONFIG=~/.boto_user_account gsutil ls).
61
62 Note that when using the standalone version of gsutil with the JSON API you
63 can configure at most one of the following types of GCS credentials in a
64 single boto config file: OAuth2 User Account, OAuth2 Service Account. In
65 addition to these, you may also have S3 HMAC credentials (necessary for using
66 s3:// URLs) and GCE Internal Service Account credentials. GCE Internal Service
67 Account credentials are used only when OAuth2 credentials are not present.
68
69
70 <B>SUPPORTED CREDENTIAL TYPES</B>
71 gsutil supports several types of credentials (the specific subset depends on
72 which distribution of gsutil you are using; see above discussion).
73
74 OAuth2 User Account:
75 This is the preferred type of credentials for authenticating requests on
76 behalf of a specific user (which is probably the most common use of gsutil).
77 This is the default type of credential that will be created when you run
78 "gsutil config".
79 For more details about OAuth2 authentication, see:
80 https://developers.google.com/accounts/docs/OAuth2#scenarios
81
82 HMAC:
83 This type of credential can be used by programs that are implemented using
84 HMAC authentication, which is an authentication mechanism supported by
85 certain other cloud storage service providers. This type of credential can
86 also be used for interactive use when moving data to/from service providers
87 that support HMAC credentials. This is the type of credential that will be
88 created when you run "gsutil config -a".
89
90 Note that it's possible to set up HMAC credentials for both Google Cloud
91 Storage and another service provider; or to set up OAuth2 user account
92 credentials for Google Cloud Storage and HMAC credentials for another
93 service provider. To do so, after you run the gsutil config command, you
94 can edit the generated ~/.boto config file and look for comments for where
95 other credentials can be added.
96
97 For more details about HMAC authentication, see:
98 https://developers.google.com/storage/docs/reference/v1/getting-startedv1# keys
99
100 OAuth2 Service Account:
101 This is the preferred type of credential to use when authenticating on
102 behalf of a service or application (as opposed to a user). For example, if
103 you will run gsutil out of a nightly cron job to upload/download data,
104 using a service account allows the cron job not to depend on credentials of
105 an individual employee at your company. This is the type of credential that
106 will be configured when you run "gsutil config -e".
107
108 It is important to note that a service account is considered an Editor by
109 default for the purposes of API access, rather than an Owner. In particular,
110 the fact that Editors have OWNER access in the default object and
111 bucket ACLs, but the canned ACL options remove OWNER access from
112 Editors, can lead to unexpected results. The solution to this problem is to
113 add the email address for your service account as a project editor. To find
114 the email address, visit the
115 `Google Developers Console <https://cloud.google.com/console#/project>`_,
116 click on the project you're using, click "APIs & auth", and click
117 "Credentials".
118
119 To create a service account, visit the Google Developers Console and then:
120
121 - Click "APIs & auth" in the left sidebar.
122
123 - Click "Credentials".
124
125 - Click "Create New Client ID".
126
127 - Select "Service Account" as your application type.
128
129 - Save the JSON private key or the .p12 private key and password
130 provided.
131
132 For further information about account roles, see:
133 https://developers.google.com/console/help/#DifferentRoles
134
135 For more details about OAuth2 service accounts, see:
136 https://developers.google.com/accounts/docs/OAuth2ServiceAccount
137
138 GCE Internal Service Account:
139 This is the type of service account used for accounts hosted by App Engine
140 or GCE. Such credentials are created automatically for you on GCE when you
141 run the gcutil addinstance command with the --service_account flag.
142
143 For more details about GCE service accounts, see:
144 https://developers.google.com/compute/docs/authentication;

146 For more details about App Engine service accounts, see:
