Interface AppIdentityService (2.0.0)

public interface AppIdentityService

The AppIdentityService allows you to sign an arbitrary byte array using a per app private key maintained by App Engine, and to retrieve a list of public certificates which can be used to verify the signature.

App Engine is responsible for maintaining the per application private key. App Engine will rotate private keys periodically. App Engine never gives these private keys to the outside.

Since private keys are rotated periodically, #getPublicCertificatesForApp could return a list of public certificates. It is the caller's responsibility to try these certificates one by one when doing signature verification.

Methods

getAccessToken(Iterable<String> scopes)

public abstract AppIdentityService.GetAccessTokenResult getAccessToken(Iterable<String> scopes)

OAuth2 access token to act on behalf of the application.

Generates and caches an OAuth2 access token for the service account for the appengine application.

Each application has an associated Google account. This function returns OAuth2 access token corresponding to the running app. Access tokens are safe to cache and reuse until their expiry time as returned. This method will do that using memcache.

Parameter
Name	Description
`scopes`	`Iterable<String>` iterable of scopes to request.

Returns
Type	Description
`AppIdentityService.GetAccessTokenResult`	a GetAccessTokenResult object with the access token and expiration time.

getAccessTokenUncached(Iterable<String> scopes)

public abstract AppIdentityService.GetAccessTokenResult getAccessTokenUncached(Iterable<String> scopes)

OAuth2 access token to act on behalf of the application, uncached.

Most developers should use getAccessToken instead.

Parameter
Name	Description
`scopes`	`Iterable<String>` iterable of scopes to request.

Returns
Type	Description
`AppIdentityService.GetAccessTokenResult`	a GetAccessTokenResult object with the access token and expiration time.

getDefaultGcsBucketName()

public abstract String getDefaultGcsBucketName()

Gets the default GS bucket name for the app.

Returns
Type	Description
`String`	default GS bucket name for the app.

getPublicCertificatesForApp()

public abstract Collection<PublicCertificate> getPublicCertificatesForApp()

Retrieves a list of public certificates.

Returns
Type	Description
`Collection<PublicCertificate>`	a list of public certificates.

getServiceAccountName()

public abstract String getServiceAccountName()

Gets service account name of the app.

Returns
Type	Description
`String`	service account name of the app.

parseFullAppId(String fullAppId)

public abstract AppIdentityService.ParsedAppId parseFullAppId(String fullAppId)

Parse a full app id into partition, domain name and display app_id.

Parameter
Name	Description
`fullAppId`	`String` The full partitioned app id.

Returns
Type	Description
`AppIdentityService.ParsedAppId`	An ParsedAppId instance with the parsing results.

signForApp(byte[] signBlob)

public abstract AppIdentityService.SigningResult signForApp(byte[] signBlob)

Requests to sign arbitrary byte array using per app private key.

Parameter
Name	Description
`signBlob`	`byte[]` string blob.

Returns
Type	Description
`AppIdentityService.SigningResult`	a SigningResult object which contains signing key name and signature.
