On Windows the command instead of export is set.

Replicate the issue after setting the environment variables listed above and it should create two new files in the working directory: tf.log and go-vcloud-director.log. The tf.log is a general Terraform debug log (more information about it is in https://www.terraform.io/docs/internals/debugging.html) while the go-vcloud-director.log is a specific log file for terraform-provider-vcd containing debug information about performed API calls. Please attach both of them to your Gist.

Panic Output

If Terraform produced a panic, please provide a link to a GitHub Gist containing the output of the crash.log.

Expected Behavior

Should be able to use an api_token and authenticate successfully

Actual Behavior

url seems to get modified and returns an incorrect url. Having multiple instances of the word api could be causing issues? incorrect url returned which errors out and breaks the process.

Returned value when using api_token as the auth_type shown below.

https:/-vca-abXXX.something.foo.com.ie/api/oauth/tenant/abXXX-XX-XX/token
refer to the supplied url which begins with https://api-vca
I was able to change the provider to use auth_type = "token" and then use token = "a bearer token generated from the script supplied" which successfully authenticated using the same url. It's something about the process which the api_token handles and crafts the final URL.
bear_token process is ok
When using an api_token with the correct options causes the error as shown in the logs.

Steps to Reproduce

Please list the steps required to reproduce the issue, for example:

terraform check

User Access rights

Information about user used. Role and/or more exact rights if it is customized. can create a bearer token and successfully authenticate using that token

Important Factoids

Is there anything atypical about your accounts that we should know?
