Required. The resource name of the service account for which the credentials are requested, in the following format: projects/-/serviceAccounts/{ACCOUNT_EMAIL_OR_UNIQUEID}. The - wildcard character is required; replacing it with a project ID is invalid.
Authorization requires the following IAM permission on the specified resource name:
iam.serviceAccounts.signBlob
Request body
The request body contains data with the following structure:
JSON representation
{"delegates": [string],"payload": string}
Fields
delegates[]
string
The sequence of service accounts in a delegation chain. Each service account must be granted the roles/iam.serviceAccountTokenCreator role on its next service account in the chain. The last service account in the chain must be granted the roles/iam.serviceAccountTokenCreator role on the service account that is specified in the name field of the request.
The delegates must have the following format: projects/-/serviceAccounts/{ACCOUNT_EMAIL_OR_UNIQUEID}. The - wildcard character is required; replacing it with a project ID is invalid.
If successful, the response body contains data with the following structure:
JSON representation
{"keyId": string,"signedBlob": string}
Fields
keyId
string
The ID of the key used to sign the blob. The key used for signing will remain valid for at least 12 hours after the blob is signed. To verify the signature, you can retrieve the public key in several formats from the following endpoints:
RSA public key wrapped in an X.509 v3 certificate: https://www.googleapis.com/service_accounts/v1/metadata/x509/{ACCOUNT_EMAIL}
Raw key in JSON format: https://www.googleapis.com/service_accounts/v1/metadata/raw/{ACCOUNT_EMAIL}
JSON Web Key (JWK): https://www.googleapis.com/service_accounts/v1/metadata/jwk/{ACCOUNT_EMAIL}
The signature for the blob. Does not include the original blob.
After the key pair referenced by the keyId response field expires, Google no longer exposes the public key that can be used to verify the blob. As a result, the receiver can no longer verify the signature.
