Managing HMAC keys for service accounts

This page shows you how to create, disable and delete Hash-based Message Authentication Code (HMAC) keys associated with service accounts in your project. For general information, see HMAC keys.

Prerequisites

Before using this feature in Cloud Storage, you should:

1. Have sufficient permission to work with HMAC keys in the desired project:

   • If you own the project, you most likely have the necessary permissions.

   • You should have the IAM permissions that are prefixed with storage.hmacKeys for the project. See Using IAM Permissions for instructions on how to get a role, such as roles/storage.hmacKeyAdmin, that has these permissions.

2. Have a service account in your project that you intend to create HMAC keys for. See Creating a service account if you don't currently have one.

Creating an HMAC key

Important: When you create an HMAC key, you are given the secret for that key, which you must store securely. If you lose the secret, you are no longer able to use the HMAC key to authorize requests.

To create an HMAC key for a service account:

Console

1. Open the Cloud Storage browser in the Google Cloud Console.
   Open the Cloud Storage browser

2. Click Settings.

3. Select the Interoperability tab.

4. Click + Create a key for a service account.

5. Select the service account you want the HMAC key to be associated with.

6. Click Create key.

gsutil

Use the hmac create command:

gsutil hmac create [SERVICE_ACCOUNT_EMAIL]

Where [SERVICE_ACCOUNT_EMAIL] is the email address associated with your service account. For example, [e-mail].

If successful, the response looks like:

AccessId: GOOGTS7C7FUP3AIRVJTE2BCD
SecretKey: de7c9b85b8b78aa6bc8a7a36f70a90701c9db4d9

REST APIs

JSON API

1. Get an authorization access token from the OAuth 2.0 Playground. Configure the playground to use your own OAuth credentials.

2. Use cURL to call the JSON API with a POST hmacKeys request,:

   curl -X POST \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer [OAUTH2_TOKEN]" \
     "https://storage.googleapis.com/storage/v1/projects/[PROJECT_ID]/hmacKeys?serviceAccountEmail=[SERVICE_ACCOUNT_EMAIL]"

   Where:

   • [OAUTH2_TOKEN] is the access token you generated in Step 1.
   • [PROJECT_ID] is the ID for the project associated with the key you want to create. For example, my-pet-project.
   • [SERVICE_ACCOUNT_EMAIL] is the email address associated with your service account. For example, [e-mail].

XML API

1. Get an authorization access token from the OAuth 2.0 Playground. Configure the playground to use your own OAuth credentials.

2. Use cURL to call the XML API with a POST HMAC Key request:

   curl -X POST \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer [OAUTH2_TOKEN]" \
     "https://storage.googleapis.com/?Action=CreateAccessKey&UserName=[SERVICE_ACCOUNT_EMAIL]"

   Where:

   • [OAUTH2_TOKEN] is the access token you generated in Step 1.
   • [SERVICE_ACCOUNT_EMAIL] is the email address associated with your service account. For example, [e-mail].

Console

1. Open the Cloud Storage browser in the Google Cloud Console.
   Open the Cloud Storage browser

2. Click Settings.

3. Select the Interoperability tab.

gsutil

1. Use the hmac list command to list hmac keys in your project:

   gsutil hmac list

   If successful, gsutil returns a list of hmac key access IDs, along with the service account associated with each key.

2. Use the hmac get command to retrieve metadata for a specific key:

   gsutil hmac get [KEY_ACCESS_ID] 

   Where [KEY_ACCESS_ID] is the access ID for the desired key.

REST APIs

JSON API

1. Get an authorization access token from the OAuth 2.0 Playground. Configure the playground to use your own OAuth credentials.

2. Use cURL to call the JSON API with a LIST hmacKeys request:

   curl -X GET \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer [OAUTH2_TOKEN]" \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     "https://storage.googleapis.com/storage/v1/projects/[PROJECT_ID]/hmacKeys"

   Where:

   • [OAUTH2_TOKEN] is the access token you generated in Step 1.
   • [PROJECT_ID] is the ID for the project associated with the keys you want to list. For example, my-pet-project.

XML API

1. Get an authorization access token from the OAuth 2.0 Playground. Configure the playground to use your own OAuth credentials.

2. Use cURL to call the XML API with a GET HMAC Key request:

   curl -X GET \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer [OAUTH2_TOKEN]" \
     "https://storage.googleapis.com/?Action=ListAccessKeys&UserName=[SERVICE_ACCOUNT_EMAIL]"

   Where:

   • [OAUTH2_TOKEN] is the access token you generated in Step 1.
   • [SERVICE_ACCOUNT_EMAIL] is the email address associated with your service account. For example, [e-mail].

Updating the state of an HMAC key

To switch an HMAC key between being active and inactive:

Console

1. Open the Cloud Storage browser in the Google Cloud Console.
   Open the Cloud Storage browser

2. Click Settings.

3. Select the Interoperability tab.

4. Click the Edit menu () associated with the key you want to update.

5. Click the more actions menu () associated with the Status of the key.

6. Select the state you want to apply to the key.

7. In the confirmation window that appears, confirm you want to change the state of the key.

gsutil

Use the hmac update command:

gsutil hmac update -s [STATE] [ACCESS_KEY_ID]

Where:

• [STATE] is the desired state for the key. For example, INACTIVE.
• [ACCESS_KEY_ID] is the access ID associated with the key you are updating.

If successful, gsutil returns the updated metadata of the HMAC key.

REST APIs

JSON API

1. Get an authorization access token from the OAuth 2.0 Playground. Configure the playground to use your own OAuth credentials.

2. Create a .json file that contains the following information:

   {
     "metadata": {
         "state": [STATE]
     }
   }

   Where [STATE] is the desired state for the key. For example, INACTIVE.

3. Use cURL to call the JSON API with a PUT hmacKeys request:

   curl -X PUT --data-binary @[JSON_FILE_NAME].json \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer [OAUTH2_TOKEN]" \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     "https://storage.googleapis.com/storage/v1/projects/[PROJECT_ID]/hmacKeys/[ACCESS_KEY_ID]"

   Where:

   • [JSON_FILE_NAME] is the file you created in Step 2.
   • [OAUTH2_TOKEN] is the access token you generated in Step 1.
   • [PROJECT_ID] is the ID for the project associated with the key you want to update. For example, my-pet-project.
   • [ACCESS_KEY_ID] is the access ID associated with the key you are updating.

XML API

1. Get an authorization access token from the OAuth 2.0 Playground. Configure the playground to use your own OAuth credentials.

2. Use cURL to call the XML API with a POST HMAC Key request:

   curl -X POST \
       -H "Authorization: Bearer [OAUTH2_TOKEN]" \
       "https://storage.googleapis.com/?Action=UpdateAccessKey&AccessKeyId=[ACCESS_KEY_ID]&Status=[STATUS]"

   Where:

   • [OAUTH2_TOKEN] is the access token you generated in Step 1.
   • [ACCESS_KEY_ID] is the access ID associated with the key you are updating.
   • [STATUS] is the desired status for the key. For example, Inactive.

Deleting an HMAC key

Caution: HMAC keys cannot be recovered once you delete them. If you want to keep an HMAC key but prevent it from being used, set its state to INACTIVE.

An HMAC key must be in an inactive state in order to delete it. To delete an inactive HMAC key:

Console

1. Open the Cloud Storage browser in the Google Cloud Console.
   Open the Cloud Storage browser

2. Click Settings.

3. Select the Interoperability tab.

4. Click the Edit menu () associated with the key you want to update.

5. Click the more actions menu () associated with the Status of the key.

6. Select Delete from the drop-down menu.

7. In the text box that appears, enter the access key ID for the HMAC key as it's given in the window.

8. Click Delete.

gsutil

Use the hmac delete command:

gsutil hmac delete [ACCESS_KEY_ID]

Where [ACCESS_KEY_ID] is the access ID associated with the key you are deleting.

If successful, gsutil does not return a response.

REST APIs

JSON API

1. Get an authorization access token from the OAuth 2.0 Playground. Configure the playground to use your own OAuth credentials.

2. Use cURL to call the JSON API with a DELETE hmacKeys request:

   curl -X DELETE \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer [OAUTH2_TOKEN]" \
     "https://storage.googleapis.com/storage/v1/projects/[PROJECT_ID]/hmacKeys/[ACCESS_KEY_ID]"

   Where:

   • [OAUTH2_TOKEN] is the access token you generated in Step 1.
   • [PROJECT_ID] is the ID for the project associated with the key you want to delete. For example, my-pet-project.
   • [ACCESS_KEY_ID] is the access ID associated with the key you are deleting.

XML API

1. Get an authorization access token from the OAuth 2.0 Playground. Configure the playground to use your own OAuth credentials.

2. Use cURL to call the XML API with a POST HMAC Key request:

   curl -X POST \
       -H "Authorization: Bearer [OAUTH2_TOKEN]" \
       "https://storage.googleapis.com/?Action=DeleteAccessKey&AccessKeyId=[ACCESS_KEY_ID]"

   Where:

   • [OAUTH2_TOKEN] is the access token you generated in Step 1.
   • [ACCESS_KEY_ID] is the access ID associated with the key you are deleting.

What's next

• Follow the guidelines for migrating from user account HMAC keys to service account HMAC keys.
• Use an HMAC key in an authenticated request.
