The GoogleAuth library supports creating credentials for multiple credential types. The current state of inspec-gcp limits users passing a
GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALSfile to only be able to use service accounts.Description
This allows users utilizing authentication types other than service accounts to pass an appropriate
GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALSfile. It is no longer recommended by Google to utilize a service account directly and Workload Identity Federation is the recommended replacement. I am trying to implement Workload Identity Federation in googleauth and utilize it with InSpec and this is one of the issues I encountered.Issues Resolved
This is relevant to the work I am doing in googleapis/google-auth-library-ruby#354
