| 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. |

| 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; |
