How to configure personal Sharepoint

All the operations are on the MCC cluster DTN node "mcc-dtn.ccs.uky.edu". These will also work for LCC, with some modifications as noted below.

You will need two ssh terminals open to mcc-dtn.ccs.uky.edu. Note that for the second terminal specifically, you should ssh with the the -X flag .

In both terminal, load the same version of rclone in your path (there are multiple versions of rclone installed, use the latest version listed below).

module load ccs/rclone/1.59.2

Starting Rclone Configuration

In the first terminal, run rclone config to start configuring a new connection for you your SharePoint site. enter “n“ to begin creating a new connection and then enter a name for the connection.

[user@login001 ~]$ rclone config
No remotes found - make a new one
n) New remote
s) Set configuration password
q) Quit config
n/s/q> n
Enter name for new remote.
name> uky-sharepoint

When prompted for “Storage Options“ like as follows, enter either “32” or enter “onedrive”

Option Storage.
Type of storage to configure.
Choose a number from below, or type in your own value.

Leave the “OAuth Client Id“, “OAuth Client Secret“, “Choose national cloud region“, and “Edit advanced config“ prompts blank by hitting “Enter”. Once you reach the “Use auto config“ prompt, enter “y” and you will be given a message with a URL that you will need to copy to complete the remainder of the process.

y/n> y

Authenticating your Linkblue account with Microsoft

In the second terminal, you must either:

For MCC, connect to MCC-DTN and load the Firefox module and open a browser window with the following commands. For LCC, Firefox should already be loaded.

module load ccs/conda/firefox
firefox

If the prior step does not work, run the following command locally to perform SSH tunneling (-L flag) and open a local browser. As an example, if you are on MCC-DTN and the URL given in the last step is http://127.0.0.1:53682/..., the ssh command should be.
ssh -L 53682:localhost:53682 mcc-dtn.ccs.uky.edu

Whether you opened up the browser locally or on the DTN, paste the URL that was prompted in the first terminal into the window.
The screen will open to a Microsoft login page. Enter your linkblue UKy email address and you will be re-direct to the UKy login page to enter your login information. Once you’ve done so, you should see a Success screen in the browser.

A simple text page with 'Success' in bold and a message indicating the user to return to there terminal with rclone
