Class IamCredentialsClient (2.55.0)

Service Description: A service account is a special type of Google account that belongs to your application or a virtual machine (VM), instead of to an individual end user. Your application assumes the identity of the service account to call Google APIs, so that the users aren't directly involved.

Service account credentials are used to temporarily assume the identity of the service account. Supported credential types include OAuth 2.0 access tokens, OpenID Connect ID tokens, self-signed JSON Web Tokens (JWTs), and more.

This class provides the ability to make remote calls to the backing service through method calls that map to API methods. Sample code to get started:


 // This snippet has been automatically generated and should be regarded as a code template only.
 // It will require modifications to work:
 // - It may require correct/in-range values for request initialization.
 // - It may require specifying regional endpoints when creating the service client as shown in
 // https://cloud.google.com/java/docs/setup#configure_endpoints_for_the_client_library
 try (IamCredentialsClient iamCredentialsClient = IamCredentialsClient.create()) {
   ServiceAccountName name = ServiceAccountName.of("[PROJECT]", "[SERVICE_ACCOUNT]");
   List<String> delegates = new ArrayList<>();
   List<String> scope = new ArrayList<>();
   Duration lifetime = Duration.newBuilder().build();
   GenerateAccessTokenResponse response =
       iamCredentialsClient.generateAccessToken(name, delegates, scope, lifetime);
 }

Note: close() needs to be called on the IamCredentialsClient object to clean up resources such as threads. In the example above, try-with-resources is used, which automatically calls close().

Methods
Method	Description	Method Variants
GenerateAccessToken	Generates an OAuth 2.0 access token for a service account.	Request object method variants only take one parameter, a request object, which must be constructed before the call. generateAccessToken(GenerateAccessTokenRequest request) "Flattened" method variants have converted the fields of the request object into function parameters to enable multiple ways to call the same method. generateAccessToken(ServiceAccountName name, List<String> delegates, List<String> scope, Duration lifetime) generateAccessToken(String name, List<String> delegates, List<String> scope, Duration lifetime) Callable method variants take no parameters and return an immutable API callable object, which can be used to initiate calls to the service. generateAccessTokenCallable()
GenerateIdToken	Generates an OpenID Connect ID token for a service account.	Request object method variants only take one parameter, a request object, which must be constructed before the call. generateIdToken(GenerateIdTokenRequest request) "Flattened" method variants have converted the fields of the request object into function parameters to enable multiple ways to call the same method. generateIdToken(ServiceAccountName name, List<String> delegates, String audience, boolean includeEmail) generateIdToken(String name, List<String> delegates, String audience, boolean includeEmail) Callable method variants take no parameters and return an immutable API callable object, which can be used to initiate calls to the service. generateIdTokenCallable()
SignBlob	Signs a blob using a service account's system-managed private key.	Request object method variants only take one parameter, a request object, which must be constructed before the call. signBlob(SignBlobRequest request) "Flattened" method variants have converted the fields of the request object into function parameters to enable multiple ways to call the same method. signBlob(ServiceAccountName name, List<String> delegates, ByteString payload) signBlob(String name, List<String> delegates, ByteString payload) Callable method variants take no parameters and return an immutable API callable object, which can be used to initiate calls to the service. signBlobCallable()
SignJwt	Signs a JWT using a service account's system-managed private key.	Request object method variants only take one parameter, a request object, which must be constructed before the call. signJwt(SignJwtRequest request) "Flattened" method variants have converted the fields of the request object into function parameters to enable multiple ways to call the same method. signJwt(ServiceAccountName name, List<String> delegates, String payload) signJwt(String name, List<String> delegates, String payload) Callable method variants take no parameters and return an immutable API callable object, which can be used to initiate calls to the service. signJwtCallable()

See the individual methods for example code.

Many parameters require resource names to be formatted in a particular way. To assist with these names, this class includes a format method for each type of name, and additionally a parse method to extract the individual identifiers contained within names that are returned.

This class can be customized by passing in a custom instance of IamCredentialsSettings to create(). For example:

To customize credentials:


 // This snippet has been automatically generated and should be regarded as a code template only.
 // It will require modifications to work:
 // - It may require correct/in-range values for request initialization.
 // - It may require specifying regional endpoints when creating the service client as shown in
 // https://cloud.google.com/java/docs/setup#configure_endpoints_for_the_client_library
 IamCredentialsSettings iamCredentialsSettings =
     IamCredentialsSettings.newBuilder()
         .setCredentialsProvider(FixedCredentialsProvider.create(myCredentials))
         .build();
 IamCredentialsClient iamCredentialsClient = IamCredentialsClient.create(iamCredentialsSettings);

To customize the endpoint:


 // This snippet has been automatically generated and should be regarded as a code template only.
 // It will require modifications to work:
 // - It may require correct/in-range values for request initialization.
 // - It may require specifying regional endpoints when creating the service client as shown in
 // https://cloud.google.com/java/docs/setup#configure_endpoints_for_the_client_library
 IamCredentialsSettings iamCredentialsSettings =
     IamCredentialsSettings.newBuilder().setEndpoint(myEndpoint).build();
 IamCredentialsClient iamCredentialsClient = IamCredentialsClient.create(iamCredentialsSettings);

To use REST (HTTP1.1/JSON) transport (instead of gRPC) for sending and receiving requests over the wire:


 // This snippet has been automatically generated and should be regarded as a code template only.
 // It will require modifications to work:
 // - It may require correct/in-range values for request initialization.
 // - It may require specifying regional endpoints when creating the service client as shown in
 // https://cloud.google.com/java/docs/setup#configure_endpoints_for_the_client_library
 IamCredentialsSettings iamCredentialsSettings =
     IamCredentialsSettings.newHttpJsonBuilder().build();
 IamCredentialsClient iamCredentialsClient = IamCredentialsClient.create(iamCredentialsSettings);

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.
`payload`	`String` Required. The JWT payload to sign: a JSON object that contains a JWT Claims Set.
