Google Cloud Platform - Obtaining the Credentials for Integration
The OneClickComply platform can integrate with commonly used industry tools such as Google Cloud. In order to properly connect to your Google Cloud environment, you will need a few different credentials. We have outlined the steps required to obtain these credentials below, alongside some example images of where you may need to navigate to.
Please reach out to a member of the OneClickComply support team if you are having difficult connecting to the platform.
Sign into console.cloud.google.com
Navigate to your desired project
Click on the cloud shell option
Navigate to your home directory by typing "cd $HOME" and pressing enter
Type "gcloud init" then press enter
Select all relevant options here. Ensure that you use an account with the least privileges possible in your project. This will likely be the 'reader' account type.
Run the following command: “gcloud auth application-default login”
If prompted, click the provided link and sign in.
Copy the authorisation code snippet, paste it into the cloud shell, and press enter
You will see a message similar to "Credentials saved to file: [/xxxxxx/application_default_credentials.json]
Copy everything within the square brackets
Type "cat" into the terminal, press 'spacebar', then paste the file location. The string should look like this: cat /xxxxxx/application_default_credentials.json
Press 'enter', then make a secure copy of the following credentials:
client_id
client_secret
quota_project_id
refresh_token
Once done, you may now begin the process of integrating your Google Cloud environment to the OneClickComply platform.
