I am trying to connect to an AppEngine instance with the remote API with something like this:
os.environ['GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS'] = ".../path/to/key" remote_api_stub.ConfigureRemoteApiForOAuth( server.encode('ascii'), path, secure=True ) Where the path/to/key points to a JSON file created in the Google Cloud (Beta), API Manager -> Credentials -> Add Credentials -> Service Account. The service account "Can edit" per the Permissions panel.
When I run this I get an error like this on the console, corresponding to a 401 (as reported in the App Engine log viewer):
File "/usr/local/share/app-engine-python/google/appengine/ext/remote_api/remote_api_stub.py", line 768, in ConfigureRemoteApiForOAuth rpc_server_factory=rpc_server_factory) File "/usr/local/share/app-engine-python/google/appengine/ext/remote_api/remote_api_stub.py", line 835, in ConfigureRemoteApi app_id = GetRemoteAppIdFromServer(server, path, rtok) File "/usr/local/share/app-engine-python/google/appengine/ext/remote_api/remote_api_stub.py", line 569, in GetRemoteAppIdFromServer response = server.Send(path, payload=None, **urlargs) File "/usr/local/share/app-engine-python/google/appengine/tools/appengine_rpc_httplib2.py", line 258, in Send NeedAuth() File "/usr/local/share/app-engine-python/google/appengine/tools/appengine_rpc_httplib2.py", line 234, in NeedAuth RaiseHttpError(url, response_info, response, 'Too many auth attempts.')

I checked and the correct credentials seem to be set in /google/appengine/ext/remote_api/remote_api_stub.py:760 and should be passed to the remote api.
The app.yaml has the basic setting - remote_api: on under builtins.
This setup works for the local dev_appserver.py, so I am led to believe the problem is on the Google server/cloud settings.
I have tried both authentication schemes in App Engine -> Settings -> Application settings (Google Accounts API and Google Apps domain).
I followed the Google Application Default Credentials as fit as I could, but maybe I missed something?
It is probably also worth noting that from the command line:
$ GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS=~/path-to-key remote_api_shell.py -s APPID.appspot.com --secure APPID also gives the same 401 exception.
