Note: This method is deprecated. Use the signJwt method in the IAM Service Account Credentials API instead. If you currently use this method, see the migration guide for instructions. Signs a JSON Web Token (JWT) using the system-managed private key for a ServiceAccount.

Scopes

You will need authorization for the https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-platform scope to make a valid call.

If unset, the scope for this method defaults to https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-platform. You can set the scope for this method like this: iam1 --scope <scope> projects service-accounts-sign-jwt ...

Required Scalar Argument

  • <name> (string)
    • Required. Deprecated. Migrate to Service Account Credentials API. The resource name of the service account. Use one of the following formats: * projects/{PROJECT_ID}/serviceAccounts/{EMAIL_ADDRESS} * projects/{PROJECT_ID}/serviceAccounts/{UNIQUE_ID} As an alternative, you can use the - wildcard character instead of the project ID: * projects/-/serviceAccounts/{EMAIL_ADDRESS} * projects/-/serviceAccounts/{UNIQUE_ID} When possible, avoid using the - wildcard character, because it can cause response messages to contain misleading error codes. For example, if you try to access the service account projects/-/serviceAccounts/fake@example.com, which does not exist, the response contains an HTTP 403 Forbidden error instead of a 404 Not Found error.

Required Request Value

The request value is a data-structure with various fields. Each field may be a simple scalar or another data-structure. In the latter case it is advised to set the field-cursor to the data-structure's field to specify values more concisely.

For example, a structure like this:

SignJwtRequest:
  payload: string

can be set completely with the following arguments which are assumed to be executed in the given order. Note how the cursor position is adjusted to the respective structures, allowing simple field names to be used most of the time.

  • -r . payload=ipsum
    • Required. Deprecated. Migrate to Service Account Credentials API. The JWT payload to sign. Must be a serialized JSON object that contains a JWT Claims Set. For example: {&#34;sub&#34;: &#34;user@example.com&#34;, &#34;iat&#34;: 313435} If the JWT Claims Set contains an expiration time (exp) claim, it must be an integer timestamp that is not in the past and no more than 12 hours in the future. If the JWT Claims Set does not contain an expiration time (exp) claim, this claim is added automatically, with a timestamp that is 1 hour in the future.

About Cursors

The cursor position is key to comfortably set complex nested structures. The following rules apply:

  • The cursor position is always set relative to the current one, unless the field name starts with the . character. Fields can be nested such as in -r f.s.o .
  • The cursor position is set relative to the top-level structure if it starts with ., e.g. -r .s.s
  • You can also set nested fields without setting the cursor explicitly. For example, to set a value relative to the current cursor position, you would specify -r struct.sub_struct=bar.
  • You can move the cursor one level up by using ... Each additional . moves it up one additional level. E.g. ... would go three levels up.

Optional Output Flags

The method's return value a JSON encoded structure, which will be written to standard output by default.

  • -o out
    • out specifies the destination to which to write the server's result to. It will be a JSON-encoded structure. The destination may be - to indicate standard output, or a filepath that is to contain the received bytes. If unset, it defaults to standard output.

Optional General Properties

The following properties can configure any call, and are not specific to this method.

  • -p $-xgafv=string

    • V1 error format.

  • -p access-token=string

    • OAuth access token.

  • -p alt=string

    • Data format for response.

  • -p callback=string

    • JSONP

  • -p fields=string

    • Selector specifying which fields to include in a partial response.

  • -p key=string

    • API key. Your API key identifies your project and provides you with API access, quota, and reports. Required unless you provide an OAuth 2.0 token.

  • -p oauth-token=string

    • OAuth 2.0 token for the current user.

  • -p pretty-print=boolean

    • Returns response with indentations and line breaks.

  • -p quota-user=string

    • Available to use for quota purposes for server-side applications. Can be any arbitrary string assigned to a user, but should not exceed 40 characters.

  • -p upload-type=string

    • Legacy upload protocol for media (e.g. "media", "multipart").

  • -p upload-protocol=string

    • Upload protocol for media (e.g. "raw", "multipart").
