This is the "{project name}-xxxxxxxxxxxx.p12" file associated with the service account credential in
the Google Developer Console. A new private key may be generated
for a service account if you no longer have the original.
To create a new service account:
- Select your project from the Project list.
- Navigate to "APIs & Auth" and then "Credentials"
- Click the "Create new Client ID" button
- Select "Service account" and click "Create Client ID".
- A dialog should pop-up to download the private key file for the new service account, save this in a secure
location. This file contains a Private key in json format. This is NOT the file you must upload here.
- After clicking, "Okay, got it", you should see a "Service Account" section; click on the "Generate new P12 key"
button just underneath it. This is the file you must upload here.
To generate a new key for an existing service account, follow the above instructions until the "Create new Client
ID" step and instead find the Service Account for which you need a new key and click "Generate new P12 key".
