googleauth-extras

Disclaimer: This gem is not sponsored by Google.

The googleauth currently lacks support for all the authentication schemes supported in Python and the gcloud CLI. This gem aims to support additional schemes like:

• Impersonated credentials
• Static credentials

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'googleauth-extras'

And then execute:

$ bundle install

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install googleauth-extras

If you'd like to have credentials that act as a different service account, you can setup the credentials with:

# Old API Client
Google::Apis::RequestOptions.default.authorization = Google::Auth::Extras.impersonated_authorization(
  email_address: 'my-sa@my-project.iam.gserviceaccount.com',
  scope: [
    Google::Apis::ComputeV1::AUTH_CLOUD_PLATFORM,
    Google::Apis::PubsubV1::AUTH_PUBSUB,
  ],
)

# New API Client
Google::Cloud.configure.credentials = Google::Auth::Extras.impersonated_credential(
  email_address: 'my-sa@my-project.iam.gserviceaccount.com',
  scope: Google::Cloud.configure.pubsub.scope,
)

# Dual Client Setup
Google::Cloud.configure.credentials = Google::Auth::Extras.wrap_authorization(
  Google::Apis::RequestOptions.default.authorization = Google::Auth::Extras.impersonated_authorization(
    email_address: 'my-sa@my-project.iam.gserviceaccount.com',
    scope: [
      Google::Apis::ComputeV1::AUTH_CLOUD_PLATFORM,
      Google::Apis::PubsubV1::AUTH_PUBSUB,
    ],
  )
)

You can optionally specify the following additional options:

• base_credentials: The credentials to use to make the impersonation call. If not specified, uses the standard SDK credential resolution process.
• delegate_email_addresses: If there are intermediate service accounts that need to be impersonated using delegation, the list of email addresses.
• lifetime: The desired lifetime in seconds, defaulting to 1h.

If you'd like to use a static access token, you can setup the credentials with:

# Old API Client
Google::Apis::RequestOptions.default.authorization = Google::Auth::Extras.static_authorization('my-access-token')

# New API Client
Google::Cloud.configure.credentials = Google::Auth::Extras.static_credential('my-access-token')

# Dual Client Setup
Google::Cloud.configure.credentials = Google::Auth::Extras.wrap_authorization(
  Google::Apis::RequestOptions.default.authorization = Google::Auth::Extras.static_authorization('my-access-token')
)

The values returned from the *_authorization methods will work with both the old and new SDKs, it'll just trigger a warning with the newer SDKs. The reverse however is not true, the values returned from the *_credential methods will not work with the old SDKs.

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
