JR63625: DOC - SAMPLE CURL COMMAND INCORRECT TO GET ACCESS_TOKEN

APAR status

• Closed as documentation error.

Error description

• The Knowledge Center for Cloud Pak for Business Automation
  provides a sample command in step 2 at
  https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/cloud-paks/cp-biz-automation/21.0.x?
  topic=apis-using-long-lived-access-tokens :
                   curl -k -s -u "$umsuser:$umspassword"
  'https://localhost:9443/oidc/endpoint/ums/authorize?response_typ
  e=token&client_id=$clientid&scope=openid&state=none&redirect_uri
  =myapp://token'
  
  This command omits HTTP response headers, which required in
  later steps. The -v option will be added:
  curl -k -s -v -u "$umsuser:$umspassword"
  'https://localhost:9443/oidc/endpoint/ums/authorize?response_typ
  e=token&client_id=$clientid&scope=openid&state=none&redirect_uri
  =myapp://token'
