Support for Destinaitons with authentication type OAuth2Password

[gregorwolf]

I'm trying to call the Cloud Foundry API using the Cloud SDK for JavaScript. For that I've created a Destinaitons with authentication type OAuth2Password in my SAP BTP Subaccount and added this commit to my bookshop-demo sample project. Unfortunately when I call the implementation I get the following error message:

Failed to build HTTP request for destination: failed to build headers!
The destination used "OAuth2Password" as authentication type which is not supported by the SDK.

Would be great if the SDK could add support for the OAuth2Password authentication type. As shown in tests/cloud-foundry.http#L3 the authenticaiton itself is actually not that complicated.

Hi @gregorwolf ,

thanks for raising this up. I have created a backlog item. @artemkovalyov

Do you have a timeline for this feature? Do you have a workaround e.g., switching to other auth type for now?

Best regards,
Junjie

Hi @jjtang1985,

I've found a workaround using cf-http-client. Unfortunately the scope of this package is quite narrow. But also a plain axios solution worked. Unfortunately the Cloud Foundry API doesn't provide an Open API Specification yet.

Hi @gregorwolf,

What's the priority of this for you? Is it a PoC to try this credential flow or do you need it for a production-ready App/Service?
I want to prioritize the development of this.

Hi @artemkovalyov,

we need to access the Cloud Foundry API for a productive Multitenant SAP Partner solution.
