//  When a service account (Client ID) is created at https://code.google.com/apis/console/
//  Google will generate a P12 key.  This is a PKCS12 (PFX) file that you will download
//  and save.  The password to access the contents of this file is "notasecret".
//  NOTE: The Chilkat Pfx API provides the ability to load a PFX/P12 and re-save
//  with a different password.

//  Begin by loading the downloaded .p12 into a Chilkat certificate object:
CkoCert *cert = [[CkoCert alloc] init];
success = [cert LoadPfxFile: @"/myDir/API Project-1c43a291e2a1-notasecret.p12" password: @"notasecret"];

    return;

//  The next (and final) step is to request the access token.  Chilkat internally
//  does all the work of forming the JWT header and JWT claim set, encoding and
//  signing the JWT, and sending the access token request.
//  The application need only provide the inputs: The iss, scope(s), sub, and the
//  desired duration with a max of 3600 seconds (1 hour).
//  
//  Each of these inputs is defined as follows 
//  (see https://developers.google.com/accounts/docs/OAuth2ServiceAccount
//  iss: The email address of the service account.
//  scope: A space-delimited list of the permissions that the application requests.
//  sub: The email address of the user for which the application is requesting delegated access.
//  numSec: The number of seconds for which the access token will be valid (max 3600).

CkoHashtable *claimParams = [[CkoHashtable alloc] init];

//  The required claim parameters that must be provided by the application are
//  the "iss" and "scope" params:
success = [claimParams AddStr: @"iss" value: @"761326798069-r5mljlln1rd4lrbhg75efgigp36m78j5@developer.gserviceaccount.com"];
success = [claimParams AddStr: @"scope" value: @"https://mail.google.com/"];

//  The "sub" param is required if there is an email address, such as for a
//  Google Apps domain—if you use Google Apps for Work, where the administrator of the Google Apps domain 
//  can authorize an application to access user data on behalf of users in the Google Apps domain.
//  
//  Comment out this line if there is no such email address.
success = [claimParams AddStr: @"sub" value: @"user@your-domain.com"];

//  The "aud" parameter is optional.  If not set, it defaults to the value shown here:
