This URL will return details about the logged-in user. The identity provider can either be the default or a custom identity provider configured in the BTP Trust Configuration. The response will differ for OpenID Connect and SAML protocol.

Create your script file, make it executeable and add it to your .gitignore as it contains sensitive information:
touch login.sh
chmod +x login.sh
echo login.sh >> .gitignore
Open the file and paste the following:
#! /bin/bash
cf login <<!
myemail@mail.com
mypassword
1
!
With “1” you select your target space. Save your script and run it using:
./login.sh
After some time, it can happen that the default identity provider of the SAP BTP (SAP ID service) is asking for a password change. I don’t know exactly, but it seems to be every 90 days?!
The login process will fail with the following output:
$ ./scripts/login.sh
API endpoint: https://api.cf.eu10.hana.ondemand.com
Email: myemail@mail.com
Password:
Authenticating...
{"error":"invalid_grant","error_description":"User authentication failed: PASSWORD_CHANGE_REQUIRED"}
To change your password, just go to https://account.sap.com or https://accounts.sap.com/, and it should directly open the password change screen.
Update 06.09.2024: The login can now also be done by completely using the cf command.
cf login -a https://api.cf.eu10.hana.ondemand.com -o myOrg -s mySpace -u myEmail@mail.com -p myPassword
