pelican credentials token setup

Set up a credential file containing tokens for a Pelican namespace

Synopsis

Acquire a token for the specified Pelican namespace and save it to a credential file on disk. The credential file contains the access token, refresh token, and OAuth2 client credentials needed to obtain fresh tokens later without re-authenticating.

By default, the credential file is password-protected. Use —no-password to save the file without encryption, which is useful for non-interactive contexts where password prompts would fail.

Use —credential-file to specify an alternative path for the credential file.

Examples:

Set up credentials for reading from a namespace

pelican credentials token setup —read pelican://federation.example.org/namespace/path

Set up credentials for reading and writing

pelican credentials token setup —write pelican://federation.example.org/namespace/path

Set up credentials without password protection

pelican credentials token setup —no-password —read pelican://federation.example.org/namespace/path

Set up credentials to a specific file

pelican credentials token setup —credential-file /path/to/creds.pem —read pelican://federation.example.org/namespace/path
