I am having trouble creating a JWT for Google Drive authorization. The instruction is given in this link.
<?php
//helper function
function base64url_encode($data) {
return rtrim(strtr(base64_encode($data), '+/', '-_'), '=');
}
//Google's Documentation of Creating a JWT https://developers.google.com/identity/protocols/OAuth2ServiceAccount#authorizingrequests

When I run this code, I get Resource id #4
followed by a nonsense signature. I even tried putting the private key in a file and reading from the file in which there is multiple lines (private key separated at ) but no success. I can't generate meaningful JWT signature from the private key. Can anyone help me with this issue?
Thanks,
I have managed to solve this issue. Below is the updated code that reads the JSON file downloaded from Google and creates an assertion
with which one can then get access token from Google:
<?php
//helper function
function base64url_encode($data) {
return rtrim(strtr(base64_encode($data), '+/', '-_'), '=');
}
// Read the JSON credential file my-private-key.json download from Google
$private_key_file="my-private-key.json";
$json_file = file_get_contents($private_key_file);
$info = json_decode($json_file);
$private_key = $info->{'private_key'};
//{Base64url encoded JSON header}
$jwtHeader = base64url_encode(json_encode(array(
"alg" => "RS256",
"typ" => "JWT"
)));
//{Base64url encoded JSON claim set}
$now = time();
$jwtClaim = base64url_encode(json_encode(array(
"iss" => $info->{'client_email'},
"scope" => "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.file",
"aud" => "https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v4/token",
"exp" => $now + 3600,
"iat" => $now
)));
$data = $jwtHeader.".".$jwtClaim;
// Signature
$Sig = '';
openssl_sign($data,$Sig,$private_key,'SHA256');
$jwtSign = base64url_encode( $Sig );
//{Base64url encoded JSON header}.{Base64url encoded JSON claim set}.{Base64url encoded signature}
$jwtAssertion = $data.".".$jwtSign;
echo "$jwtAssertion
";
You may then test your code by communicating with Google Drive for example:
curl -d 'grant_type=urn%3Aietf%3Aparams%3Aoauth%3Agrant-type%3Ajwt-bearer&assertion=YOUR-JWT-ASSERTION-BUILD-ABOVE' https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v4/token
