Newlines in the private key need to be replaced with `\n`.Copy the full JSON object into your `creds.json` like so: 13 14 {% highlight json %} 15 { 16 "gcloud": { 17 "type": "service_account", 18 "project_id": "mydnsproject", 19 "private_key_id": "a05483aa208364c56716b384efff33c0574d365b", 20 "private_key": "-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----\nMIIEvAIBADL2dhlY7YZbx7tpsfksOX\nih0DbxhiQ==\n-----END PRIVATE KEY-----\n", 21 "client_email": "dnscontrolacct@mydnsproject.iam.gserviceaccount.com", 22 "client_id": "107996619231234567750", 23 "auth_uri": "https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth", 24 "token_uri": "https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/token", 25 "auth_provider_x509_cert_url": "https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v1/certs", 26 "client_x509_cert_url": "https://www.googleapis.com/robot/v1/metadata/x509/dnscontrolsdfsdfsdf%40craigdnstest.iam.gserviceaccount.com", 27 "name_server_set" : "optional_name_server_set_name (contact your TAM)" 28 } 29 } 30 {% endhighlight %} 31 32 **Note**: The `project_id`, `private_key`, and `client_email`, are the only fields that are strictly required, but it is sometimes easier to just paste the entire json object in. Either way is fine. `name_server_set` is optional and requires special permission from your TAM at Google in order to setup (See [Name server sets](#name_server_sets) below) 33 34 See [the Activation section](#activation) for some tips on obtaining these credentials. 35 36 ## Metadata 37 This provider does not recognize any special metadata fields unique to google cloud dns. 38 39 ## Usage 40 Use this provider like any other DNS Provider: 41 42 {% highlight js %} 43 var REG_NAMECOM = NewRegistrar("name.com","NAMEDOTCOM"); 44 var GCLOUD = NewDnsProvider("gcloud", "GCLOUD"); 45 46 D("example.tld", REG_NAMECOM, DnsProvider(GCLOUD), 47 A("test","1.2.3.4") 48 ); 49 {%endhighlight%} 50 51 ## Activation 52 1. Go to your app-engine console and select the appropriate project. 53 2. Go to "API Manager > Credentials", and create a new "Service Account Key" 54 55 <img src="{{ site.github.url }}/assets/gcloud-json-screen.png" alt="New Service Account" style="width: 900px;"/> 56 57 3. Choose an existing user, or create a new one. The user requires the "DNS Administrator" role. 58 4. Download the JSON key and copy it into your `creds.json` under the name of your gcloud provider. 59 60 ## New domains 61 If a domain does not exist in your Google Cloud DNS account, DNSControl 62 will *not* automatically add it with the `push` command. You'll need to do that via the 63 control panel manually or via the `create-domains` command. 64 65 ## Name server sets 66 67 This optional feature lets you pin domains to a set of GCLOUD name servers. The `nameServerSet` field is exposed in their API but there is 68 currently no facility for creating a name server set. You need special permission from your technical account manager at Google and they 69 will enable it on your account, responding with a list of names to use in the `name_server_set` field above. 70 71 > `name_server_set` only applies on `create-domains` at the moment. Additional work needs to be done to support it during `push`
