Description

This is very odd, but for some reason I can't use OCI_CLI_AUTH env variable, it's just ignored by oci.

I.e:

> oci compute instance ls --compartment-id=ocid1.tenancy.oc1....
WARNING: The active profile contains a value for 'security_token_file' which is not being used. To authenticate using the token, specify --auth security_token
...

> echo $OCI_CLI_AUTH
security_token

Here my config:

cat ~/.oci/config 
[DEFAULT]
fingerprint=...
key_file=/Users/josser/.oci/sessions/DEFAULT/oci_api_key.pem
tenancy=ocid1.tenancy.oc1.....
compartment-id=ocid1.tenancy.oc1....
region=eu-frankfurt-1
security_token_file=/Users/josser/.oci/sessions/DEFAULT/token
user=ocid1.user.oc1.....

Another odd thing is that it ignores compartment-id option from config file.

Is there any way to debug what I'm doing wrong?

Research direction

Reproduce oci compute instance ls with the shown ~/.oci/config and OCI_CLI_AUTH=security_token using OCI CLI 3.22.3. Trace the CLI's configuration and authentication handling; done means the environment variable and configured compartment-id are honored, with tests covering both behaviors.
