To discover an X.509 user credential (proxy) location:
>>> from igwn_auth_utils import find_x509_credentials
>>> print(find_x509_credentials())
('/tmp/x509up_u1000', '/tmp/x509up_u1000')
To discover (and deserialise) a SciToken for a specific
purpose (audience
and scope
):
>>> from igwn_auth_utils import find_scitoken
>>> print(find_scitoken("myservice", "read:/mydata"))
