Globus User Credential Lookup Sample Code

Usage

1. Install Globus SDK by running pip install globus-sdk as root.
2. Obtain access and refresh tokens if you don't have them:
   1. Define CLIENT_ID environment variable with your app's client ID.
   2. Run the get_refresh_token.py code below.
3. Update the following environment variables with the information obtained from the previous step:
   • ACCESS_TOKEN
   • REFRESH_TOKEN
   • EXPIRES_AT_S
4. Run the get_globus_identities_from_sub.py like this:

   get_globus_identities_from_sub.py -s <globus sub>
