configuring-identity-aware-proxy-with-google-iap

configuring-identity-aware-proxy-with-google-iap is a skill for Claude Code from 26zl/cybersec-toolkit. It costs 60 tokens per session (3,362 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A setup for Google Cloud Identity-Aware Proxy (IAP), which checks a user's or service's identity before allowing access to a protected application. It can also apply conditions such as device status or location.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to protect App Engine, Cloud Run, GKE, or Compute Engine services and configure access for users and service accounts.
Why use it?
It protects internal web services without requiring a VPN or public IP address. Per-request checks make access depend on the identity and context of each request.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

configuring-identity-aware-proxy-with-google-iap scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 7d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/agent.py, scripts/process.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Configuring Identity-Aware Proxy with Google IAP

When to Use

  • When protecting Google Cloud applications (App Engine, Cloud Run, GKE, Compute Engine) with identity-based access
  • When implementing context-aware access requiring device posture and location verification
  • When providing secure access to internal tools without VPN or public IP exposure
  • When needing per-request authentication and authorization for web applications and TCP services
  • When configuring programmatic access to IAP-protected resources using service accounts

Do not use for non-HTTP applications that cannot be placed behind an HTTPS load balancer, for public-facing applications that need unauthenticated access, or when applications handle their own authentication and IAP would conflict with existing auth flows.

Prerequisites

  • Google Cloud project with billing enabled
  • IAP API enabled (gcloud services enable iap.googleapis.com)
  • Application deployed behind HTTPS Load Balancer, App Engine, or Cloud Run
  • Cloud Identity or Google Workspace for user management
  • Access Context Manager API enabled for access levels
  • OAuth consent screen configured for the project

Workflow

Step 1: Enable IAP on Backend Services

Configure IAP for different GCP compute platforms.

# Enable required APIs
gcloud services enable iap.googleapis.com
gcloud services enable accesscontextmanager.googleapis.com

# Create OAuth consent screen
gcloud iap oauth-brands create \
  --application_title="Internal Applications" \
  [email protected]

# Create OAuth client
gcloud iap oauth-clients create \
  projects/PROJECT_ID/brands/BRAND_ID \
  --display_name="IAP Web Client"

# === Enable IAP on Compute Engine Backend Service ===
gcloud compute backend-services update my-backend-service \
  --iap=enabled,oauth2-client-id=CLIENT_ID,oauth2-client-secret=CLIENT_SECRET \
  --global

# === Enable IAP on App Engine ===
gcloud iap web enable \
  --resource-type=app-engine \
  --oauth2-client-id=CLIENT_ID \
  --oauth2-client-secret=CLIENT_SECRET

# === Enable IAP on Cloud Run ===
# First grant IAP service account the Cloud Run Invoker role
gcloud run services add-iam-policy-binding my-service \
  --member="serviceAccount:[email protected]" \
  --role="roles/run.invoker" \
  --region=us-central1

# Enable IAP on the Cloud Run backend service
gcloud compute backend-services update my-cloud-run-backend \
  --iap=enabled,oauth2-client-id=CLIENT_ID,oauth2-client-secret=CLIENT_SECRET \
  --global

# === Enable IAP TCP Forwarding for SSH/RDP ===
# No load balancer needed - uses IAP tunnel
gcloud compute instances add-iam-policy-binding my-vm \
  --member="group:[email protected]" \
  --role="roles/iap.tunnelResourceAccessor" \
  --zone=us-central1-a

# SSH through IAP tunnel
gcloud compute ssh my-vm --zone=us-central1-a --tunnel-through-iap

# RDP through IAP tunnel
gcloud compute start-iap-tunnel my-windows-vm 3389 \
  --local-host-port=localhost:3390 \
  --zone=us-central1-a

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
