Get valid cloud foundry oAuth token with post request

If I successfully logged in to cloud foundry with cf login I can get a valid token with cf oauth-token.

How can I get a valid token with a curl call or post request with username and password?

Thank you and best regards. Menu

Solution

  • You can use the following snippet:

     cf_user=youremail@example.com
 cf_password=yourpassword

 curl -X POST 'https://login.lyra-836.appcloud.swisscom.com/oauth/token' \
 -d "grant_type=password&scope=&username=${cf_user}&password=${cf_password}" \
 --user cf:

    Hint: You can inspect the HTTP requests of a CLI command by setting CF_TRACE=true, i.e. CF_TRACE=1 cf login.
