+ # Authentication
2
+
3
+ In general, the google-cloud-network_management-v1 library uses
4
+ [Service Account](https://cloud.google.com/iam/docs/creating-managing-service-accounts)
5
+ credentials to connect to Google Cloud services. When running within
6
+ [Google Cloud Platform environments](#google-cloud-platform-environments) the
7
+ credentials will be discovered automatically. When running on other
8
+ environments, the Service Account credentials can be specified by providing the
9
+ path to the
10
+ [JSON keyfile](https://cloud.google.com/iam/docs/managing-service-account-keys)
11
+ for the account (or the JSON itself) in
12
+ [environment variables](#environment-variables). Additionally, Cloud SDK
13
+ credentials can also be discovered automatically, but this is only recommended
14
+ during development.
15
+
16
+ ## Quickstart
17
+
18
+ 1. [Create a service account and credentials](#creating-a-service-account).
19
+ 2. Set the [environment variable](#environment-variables).
20
+
21
+ ```sh
22
+ export GOOGLE_CLOUD_CREDENTIALS=path/to/keyfile.json
23
+ ```
24
+
25
+ 3. Initialize the client.
26
+
27
+ ```ruby
28
+ require "google/cloud/network_management/v1"
29
+
30
+ client = ::Google::Cloud::NetworkManagement::V1::ReachabilityService::Client.new
31
+ ```
32
+
33
+ ## Credential Lookup
34
+
35
+ The google-cloud-network_management-v1 library aims to make authentication
36
+ as simple as possible, and provides several mechanisms to configure your system
37
+ without requiring **Service Account Credentials** directly in code.
38
+
39
+ **Credentials** are discovered in the following order:
40
+
41
+ 1. Specify credentials in method arguments
42
+ 2. Specify credentials in configuration
43
+ 3. Discover credentials path in environment variables
44
+ 4. Discover credentials JSON in environment variables
45
+ 5. Discover credentials file in the Cloud SDK's path
46
+ 6. Discover GCP credentials
47
+
48
+ ### Google Cloud Platform environments
49
+
50
+ When running on Google Cloud Platform (GCP), including Google Compute Engine
51
+ (GCE), Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE), Google App Engine (GAE), Google Cloud
52
+ Functions (GCF) and Cloud Run, **Credentials** are discovered automatically.
53
+ Code should be written as if already authenticated.
54
+
55
+ ### Environment Variables
56
+
57
+ The **Credentials JSON** can be placed in environment variables instead of
58
+ declaring them directly in code. Each service has its own environment variable,
59
+ allowing for different service accounts to be used for different services. (See
60
+ the READMEs for the individual service gems for details.) The path to the
61
+ **Credentials JSON** file can be stored in the environment variable, or the
62
+ **Credentials JSON** itself can be stored for environments such as Docker
63
+ containers where writing files is difficult or not encouraged.
64
+
65
+ The environment variables that google-cloud-network_management-v1
66
+ checks for credentials are configured on the service Credentials class (such as
67
+ {::Google::Cloud::NetworkManagement::V1::ReachabilityService::Credentials}):
68
+
69
+ * `GOOGLE_CLOUD_CREDENTIALS` - Path to JSON file, or JSON contents
70
+ * `GOOGLE_CLOUD_KEYFILE` - Path to JSON file, or JSON contents
71
+ * `GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS` - Path to JSON file
72
+
73
+ ```ruby
74
+ require "google/cloud/network_management/v1"
75
+
76
+ ENV["GOOGLE_CLOUD_CREDENTIALS"] = "path/to/keyfile.json"
77
+
78
+ client = ::Google::Cloud::NetworkManagement::V1::ReachabilityService::Client.new
79
+ ```
80
+
81
+ ### Configuration
82
+
83
+ The path to the **Credentials JSON** file can be configured instead of storing
84
+ it in an environment variable. Either on an individual client initialization:
85
+
86
+ ```ruby
87
+ require "google/cloud/network_management/v1"
88
+
89
+ client = ::Google::Cloud::NetworkManagement::V1::ReachabilityService::Client.new do |config|
90
+ config.credentials = "path/to/keyfile.json"
91
+ end
92
+ ```
93
+
94
+ Or globally for all clients:
95
+
96
+ ```ruby
97
+ require "google/cloud/network_management/v1"
98
+
99
+ ::Google::Cloud::NetworkManagement::V1::ReachabilityService::Client.configure do |config|
100
+ config.credentials = "path/to/keyfile.json"
101
+ end
102
+
103
+ client = ::Google::Cloud::NetworkManagement::V1::ReachabilityService::Client.new
104
+ ```
105
+
106
+ ### Cloud SDK
107
+
108
+ This option allows for an easy way to authenticate during development. If
109
+ credentials are not provided in code or in environment variables, then Cloud SDK
110
+ credentials are discovered.
111
+
112
+ To configure your system for this, simply:
113
+
114
+ 1. [Download and install the Cloud SDK](https://cloud.google.com/sdk)
115
+ 2. Authenticate using OAuth 2.0 `$ gcloud auth login`
116
+ 3. Write code as if already authenticated.
117
+
118
+ **NOTE:** This is _not_ recommended for running in production. The Cloud SDK
119
+ *should* only be used during development.

129
+
130
+ ## Creating a Service Account
131
+
132
+ Google Cloud requires **Service Account Credentials** to
133
+ connect to the APIs. You will use the **JSON key file** to
134
+ connect to most services with google-cloud-network_management-v1.
135
+
136
+ If you are not running this client within
137
+ [Google Cloud Platform environments](#google-cloud-platform-environments), you
138
+ need a Google Developers service account.
139
+
140
+ 1. Visit the [Google Developers Console][dev-console].
141
+ 2. Create a new project or click on an existing project.
142
+ 3. Activate the slide-out navigation tray and select **API Manager**. From
143
+ here, you will enable the APIs that your application requires.
144
+
145
+ ![Enable the APIs that your application requires][enable-apis]
146
+
147
+ *Note: You may need to enable billing in order to use these services.*
148
+
149
+ 4. Select **Credentials** from the side navigation.
150
+
151
+ You should see a screen like one of the following.
152
+
153
+ ![Create a new service account][create-new-service-account]
154
+
155
+ ![Create a new service account With Existing Keys][create-new-service-account-existing-keys]
156
+
157
+ Find the "Add credentials" drop down and select "Service account" to be
158
+ guided through downloading a new JSON key file.
159
+
160
+ If you want to re-use an existing service account, you can easily generate a
161
+ new key file. Just select the account you wish to re-use, and click "Generate
162
+ new JSON key":
163
+
164
+ ![Re-use an existing service account][reuse-service-account]
165
+
166
+ The key file you download will be used by this library to authenticate API
167
+ requests and should be stored in a secure location.

156
+ negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
157

158
+ incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
159
+ result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
160
+ Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
161
+ work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
162
+ other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
163
+ has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
164
+
165
+ 9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
166
+ the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
167
+ and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
168
+ or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
169
+ License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
170
+ on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
171
+ of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
172
+ defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
173
+ incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
174
+ of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.

+ This gem is a _versioned_ client. It provides basic client classes for a
10
+ specific version of the Network Management V1 API. Most users should consider using
11
+ the main client gem,
12
+ [google-cloud-network_management](https://rubygems.org/gems/google-cloud-network_management).
13
+ See the section below titled *Which client should I use?* for more information.
14
+
15
+ ## Installation
16
+
17
+ ```
18
+ $ gem install google-cloud-network_management-v1
19
+ ```
20
+
21
+ ## Before You Begin
22
+
23
+ In order to use this library, you first need to go through the following steps:
24
+
25
+ 1. [Select or create a Cloud Platform project.](https://console.cloud.google.com/project)
26
+ 1. [Enable billing for your project.](https://cloud.google.com/billing/docs/how-to/modify-project#enable_billing_for_a_project)
27
+ 1. [Enable the API.](https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/library/networkmanagement.googleapis.com)
28
+ 1. {file:AUTHENTICATION.md Set up authentication.}
29
+
30
+ ## Quick Start
31
+
32
+ ```ruby
33
+ require "google/cloud/network_management/v1"
34
+
35
+ client = ::Google::Cloud::NetworkManagement::V1::ReachabilityService::Client.new
36
+ request = ::Google::Cloud::NetworkManagement::V1::ListConnectivityTestsRequest.new # (request fields as keyword arguments...)
37
+ response = client.list_connectivity_tests request
38
+ ```
39
+
40
+ View the [Client Library Documentation](https://googleapis.dev/ruby/google-cloud-network_management-v1/latest)
41
+ for class and method documentation.
42
+
43
+ See also the [Product Documentation](https://cloud.google.com/network-intelligence-center/docs/connectivity-tests/reference/networkmanagement/rest)
44
+ for general usage information.
45
+
46
+ ## Enabling Logging
47
+
48
+ To enable logging for this library, set the logger for the underlying [gRPC](https://github.com/grpc/grpc/tree/master/src/ruby) library.
49
+ The logger that you set may be a Ruby stdlib [`Logger`](https://ruby-doc.org/stdlib/libdoc/logger/rdoc/Logger.html) as shown below,
50
+ or a [`Google::Cloud::Logging::Logger`](https://googleapis.dev/ruby/google-cloud-logging/latest)
51
+ that will write logs to [Cloud Logging](https://cloud.google.com/logging/). See [grpc/logconfig.rb](https://github.com/grpc/grpc/blob/master/src/ruby/lib/grpc/logconfig.rb)
52
+ and the gRPC [spec_helper.rb](https://github.com/grpc/grpc/blob/master/src/ruby/spec/spec_helper.rb) for additional information.
53
+
54
+ Configuring a Ruby stdlib logger:
55
+
56
+ ```ruby
57
+ require "logger"
58
+
59
+ module MyLogger
60
+ LOGGER = Logger.new $stderr, level: Logger::WARN
61
+ def logger
62
+ LOGGER
63
+ end
64
+ end
65
+
66
+ # Define a gRPC module-level logger method before grpc/logconfig.rb loads.
67
+ module GRPC
68
+ extend MyLogger
69
+ end
70
+ ```
71
+
72
+ ## Supported Ruby Versions
73
+
74
+ This library is supported on Ruby 2.5+.
75
+
76
+ Google provides official support for Ruby versions that are actively supported
77
+ by Ruby Core—that is, Ruby versions that are either in normal maintenance or
78
+ in security maintenance, and not end of life. Currently, this means Ruby 2.5
79
+ and later. Older versions of Ruby _may_ still work, but are unsupported and not
80
+ recommended. See https://www.ruby-lang.org/en/downloads/branches/ for details
81
+ about the Ruby support schedule.
82
+
83
+ ## Which client should I use?
84
+
85
+ Most modern Ruby client libraries for Google APIs come in two flavors: the main
86
+ client library with a name such as `google-cloud-network_management`,
87
+ and lower-level _versioned_ client libraries with names such as
88
+ `google-cloud-network_management-v1`.
89
+ _In most cases, you should install the main client._
90
+
91
+ ### What's the difference between the main client and a versioned client?
92
+
93
+ A _versioned client_ provides a basic set of data types and client classes for
94
+ a _single version_ of a specific service. (That is, for a service with multiple
95
+ versions, there might be a separate versioned client for each service version.)
96
+ Most versioned clients are written and maintained by a code generator.
97
+
98
+ The _main client_ is designed to provide you with the _recommended_ client
99
+ interfaces for the service. There will be only one main client for any given
100
+ service, even a service with multiple versions. The main client includes
101
+ factory methods for constructing the client objects we recommend for most
102
+ users. In some cases, those will be classes provided by an underlying versioned
103
+ client; in other cases, they will be handwritten higher-level client objects
104
+ with additional capabilities, convenience methods, or best practices built in.
105
+ Generally, the main client will default to a recommended service version,
106
+ although in some cases you can override this if you need to talk to a specific
107
+ service version.
108
+
109
+ ### Why would I want to use the main client?
110
+
111
+ We recommend that most users install the main client gem for a service. You can
112
+ identify this gem as the one _without_ a version in its name, e.g.
113
+ `google-cloud-network_management`.
114
+ The main client is recommended because it will embody the best practices for
115
+ accessing the service, and may also provide more convenient interfaces or
116
+ tighter integration into frameworks and third-party libraries. In addition, the
117
+ documentation and samples published by Google will generally demonstrate use of
118
+ the main client.
119
+
120
+ ### Why would I want to use a versioned client?
121
+
122
+ You can use a versioned client if you are content with a possibly lower-level
123
+ class interface, you explicitly want to avoid features provided by the main
124
+ client, or you want to access a specific service version not be covered by the
125
+ main client. You can identify versioned client gems because the service version
126
+ is part of the name, e.g. `google-cloud-network_management-v1`.
127
+
128
+ ### What about the google-apis-<name> clients?
129
+
130
+ Client library gems with names that begin with `google-apis-` are based on an
131
+ older code generation technology. They talk to a REST/JSON backend (whereas
132
+ most modern clients talk to a [gRPC](https://grpc.io/) backend) and they may
133
+ not offer the same performance, features, and ease of use provided by more
134
+ modern clients.
135
+
136
+ The `google-apis-` clients have wide coverage across Google services, so you
137
+ might need to use one if there is no modern client available for the service.
138
+ However, if a modern client is available, we generally recommend it over the
139
+ older `google-apis-` clients.
