I'm glad you've had good results with AWS. The Azure should be equally straightforward if you are using the Shared Key stuff.
As to the GCP side. If you are using Google's recommended JSON key type, then yes, the systems need to have a crypto domain assigned to it in order to process the private key. I think there is a way to use an API Key with it, but after spending 30 minutes being frustrated with their interface, I gave up. I think most of the GDKUTIL users that have Google Cloud Platform actually use their 'XML compatibility API', which is their way to say S3-compatible. That's why I ship the GOOGS3.json sample.

GDKRC=122: ICSF error occurred. ERROR: CSNDPKI error: rc: 12, e_rc: xC, e_rsn: x2B34 ERROR: CSNDPKB result: rc:12, e_rc:12, e_rsn: 11060 If I'm understanding you correctly, does this mean that there's no way to use GDKUTIL with Google from a system that doesn't have a crypto processor configured? Is there another type of authentication that's not a GCP service account that we might use? Is there a way to store the key in a KDB file or something like that? Thanks again for your help - I've had good results with your stuff on AWS, so I'm hoping there's a way we can use it from GCP and Azure too.
