  1. In Cloudera Manager, click the Oozie service.
  2. Click the Configuration tab.
  3. Search for action_conf and add the following in the Oozie Server Advanced Configuration Snippet (Safety Valve) for action-conf/default.xml field: 
    Definition (can be seen by all the actions started by Oozie)

Name: oozie.action.credentials.filesystem.myCustomCredential
Value: s3a://<bucket-name>

Name: oozie.action.credentials.filesystem.myotherCustomCredential
Value: abfs://<bucket-name>
    Usage (applies to all the actions started by Oozie)

Name: oozie.action.credentials.filesystem
Value: myCustomCredential,myotherCustomCredential
