[Iplant-api-dev] Staging files at iPlant through the API

[Lushbough, Carol]

I was wondering if anyone can help me with the following problem:

We have a very simple workflow with the BioExtract Server that runs a tool on our cluster at USD and then attempts to stage its output file to iPlant through the API to use as input into a tool on lonestar, executed through the API.

Some accounts, including bioextract, are unable to create a directory in their home folder. A curl request such as:

curl -X PUT -vsku "<user>:<auth>" -d "dirName=ShinyNewDirectory&action=mkdir"  https://foundation.iplantc.org/io-v1/io/<user>

receives a 403 HTTP response with the following body:

{
    "message": "The server understood the request, but is refusing to fulfill it",
    "result": null,
    "status": "error"
}

The behavior is the same whether authenticating with a password or token.
