# Set up the Google Cloud Datastore spoke

Integrate the ServiceNow instance and Google Cloud Datastore spoke using Google Cloud Platform credentials to authenticate ServiceNow requests.

## Before you begin

-   Request an Integration Hub subscription.
-   Activate the Google Cloud Datastore spoke.
-   Role required: admin.

## Create a custom application

Create a custom OAuth application in your Google Cloud Platform account to enable OAuth 2.0 authentication with the Google Cloud Datastore spoke.

### Before you begin

Role required: admin

### About this task

Complete these steps from the [Google Cloud Platform](https://cloud.google.com/). See the [Google Cloud Platform](https://cloud.google.com/docs) product documentation for instructions on creating and configuring custom applications.

### Procedure

1.  Register a new custom application by navigating to [https://console.cloud.google.com/](https://console.cloud.google.com/).

2.  Create a project with your administrator credentials, and open the project.

3.  From the APIs & Services menu, select **OAuth consent screen**, enter the application name, and specify the Authorized domain `service-now.com`.

4.  Click **Save**.

5.  From the APIs & Services menu, select **Credentials**, and select **Create OAuth client ID** from the **Create credentials** list.

6.  Select the application type **OAuth client ID**.

7.  Enter the following **Authorized redirect URI**: `https://<instance>.service-now.com/oauth_redirect.do` and click **Create**.

    The OAuth client window shows your client ID and client secret.

8.  Copy these two values to a text file so that you can use them when you [Register Google Cloud Datastore as an OAuth provider](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/integrate-applications/integration-hub/setup-gcloud-datastore.md).

    The client ID and secret can always be accessed in the Google APIs &amp; Services interface. Click **Credentials** and select the OAuth 2.0 client ID name.


## Register Google Cloud Datastore as an OAuth provider

Register G suite as the OAuth provider so that the ServiceNow instance can request OAuth 2.0 tokens.

### Before you begin

Role required: admin

### Procedure

1.  Navigate to **System OAuth** &gt; **Application Registry**.

2.  Open for the record, **Google Cloud Datastore**.

3.  On the form, fill these values.

    |Field|Description|
    |-----|-----------|
    |Client ID|Client ID of the Google Cloud Datastore application.|
    |Client Secret|Client Secret of the Google Cloud Datastore application.|
    |OAuth API Script|**OAuthGoogleDatastoreUtils** is selected by default.|
    |Authorization URL|The OAuth authorization code endpoint: `https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth`.|
    |Token URL|The OAuth server token endpoint: `https://oauth2.googleapis.com/token`.|
    |Redirect URL|OAuth callback endpoint in this format: `https://<instance>.service-now.com/oauth_redirect.do`. If left blank, the instance auto-generates the URL.|

4.  Right-click the form header, and click **Save**.


## Create a credential record for the Google Cloud Datastore spoke

Create a credential record for the Google Cloud Datastore custom application. The Google Cloud Datastore Spoke connection and credential alias uses this credential to authorize actions.

### Before you begin

Role required: admin.

### Procedure

1.  Navigate to **All** &gt; **Integration Hub** &gt; **Connections &amp; Credentials**.

2.  Open the record, **GoogleCloudDatastore**.

3.  In the **Credentials** tab, click **New**.

    The system displays this message: `What type of Credentials would you like to create?`

4.  Select **OAuth 2.0 Credentials**.

5.  On the form, fill these values.

    |Field|Description|
    |-----|-----------|
    |Name|Name to identify the credential record. For example, `Google Cloud Datastore Cred`.|
    |OAuth Entity Profile|Select the default OAuth entity profile, **Google Cloud Datastore default\_profile**.|
    |Credential alias|Credential alias associated with this record. The default alias record, **sn\_gcp\_cds\_spoke.GoogleCloudDatastore** is selected.|

    \[Omitted image "gcloud-datastore-cred.png"\] Alt text: Credential record for Google Cloud Datastore spoke.

6.  Right-click the form header and click **Save**.
