Upstream GCP Self-Signed JWT Policy

CAUTION: This policy only works with certain Google APIs. In most cases, the Upstream GCP Service Auth should be used.

This policy adds a JWT token to the headers, ready for us in an outgoing request when calling a GCP service (e.g. Cloud Endpoints / ESPv2). We recommend reading the serviceAccountJson from environment variables (so it is not checked in to source control) using the $env(ENV_VAR) syntax.

Configuration

{
"name": "my-upstream-gcp-jwt-inbound-policy",
"policyType": "upstream-gcp-jwt-inbound",
"handler": {
"export": "UpstreamGcpJwtInboundPolicy",
"module": "$import(@zuplo/runtime)",
"options": {
"audience": "your_gcp_service.endpoint.com",
"serviceAccountJson": "$env(SERVICE_ACCOUNT_JSON)"
}
}
}
