GCE S3 cloud cache bucket name: The cache bucket to be used when uploading data to the cloud, as described in Prerequisites.
GCE job mananger rest host URI: The URL pointing to the GCE instance deployed on the specified AWS account, as described in Prerequisites. Note that this URL must be the same as the "URL" setting specified in the CLC Workbench, under File | Cloud Connection.

GCE http oauth2 client secret: The client secret used by the CLC Genomics Server to authenticate using OAuth2 Client Credentials Grant.
GCE http oauth2 authorization server: The access token endpoint of the authentication server used by the CLC Genomics Cloud Engine.
Accept untrusted certificate: This checkbox should be selected when the GCE has been set up with a self-signed certificate. We recommend setting up the GCE with a trusted certificate.
Validate settings: This option, enabled by default, validates the AWS and GCE settings when you press OK. Uncheck this box only if you need to temporarily store invalid settings.
GLOBAL_OVERRIDABLE: This setting has no effect for the Cloud Server Plugin and we recommend leaving it at the default settings.
