Hi, I'm unable to properly understand the differences between this 2 authentication methods:
AppIdentity: https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/standard/java/appidentity/#asserting_identity_to_google_apis Application Default Credentials: https://developers.google.com/identity/protocols/application-default-credentials#whentouse My use case is use the Google APIs with the App Engine application itself as authenticated user. As far I can understand, with Application Default Credentials I can create an "hybrid" code that can work in both local and online environment (in local the user will be my own, configured in GCloud, and online will be the application). The AppIdentity method instead does not work in local enviroment. The AppIdentify only provides and accessToken (but a Credential object can be built using this token) The ApplicationDefaultCredentials directly provides a Credential object is there a comparison chart available? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
