Override the authentication configuration

Some applications cannot use the default authentication mechanism (known as Application Default Credentials). You can override this default using google::cloud::UnifiedCredentialsOption. The following example shows how to explicitly load a service account key file.

  namespace gcs = ::google::cloud::storage;
  [](std::string const& filename, std::string const& bucket_name,
     std::string const& object_name) {
    auto is = std::ifstream(filename);
    is.exceptions(std::ios::badbit);
    auto json_string =
        std::string(std::istreambuf_iterator<char>(is.rdbuf()), {});
    auto credentials =
        google::cloud::MakeServiceAccountCredentials(json_string);
    auto client = gcs::Client(
        google::cloud::Options{}.set<google::cloud::UnifiedCredentialsOption>(
            credentials));
    PerformSomeOperations(client, bucket_name, object_name);
  }

Keep in mind that we chose this as an example because it is relatively easy to understand. Consult the Best practices for managing service account keys guide for more details.
