[HTCondor-users] output file transfer using oauth token

[Kevin Retzke <kretzke@xxxxxxxx>]

I'm trying to have a job upload output to dcache over https, authenticating with a scitoken. In my submit file I have:

use_oauth_services = dune
output_destination = dune+https://example.com/foo/bar

Condor does send the token at $_CONDOR_CREDS/dune.use, but this file only contains the encoded token itself, which we expect in order to use the token in the job. However, uploading output fails with "Unable to parse token as JSON", since the file transfer plugin expects the dune.use file to be JSON with the token under the "access_token" field. https://github.com/htcondor/htcondor/blob/main/src/condor_filetransfer_plugins/multifile_curl_plugin.cpp#L131

Is this a bug in the file transfer plugin, or can I just not use the oauth token like that? The documentation suggests it should work in https://htcondor.readthedocs.io/en/latest/users-manual/file-transfer.html#file-transfer-using-a-url

condor 9.0.16 on the schedd

Thanks,

Kevin
