Go to https://me.sap.com/app/sappassport, request your certificate and install it in your Browser. Working with the BTP is much more convenient now, as you don’t have to enter your credentials all the time.
Tag: login
[CAP] Login to CF using a bash script
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
password
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://accounts.sap.com/, and it should directly open the password change screen.
