JR63626: DOC: UNCLEAR INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMMAND LINE APPLICATIONS

APAR status

• Closed as documentation error.

Error description

• The Knowledge Center for Cloud Pak for Business Automation
  contains misleading information for command line applications
  https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/cloud-paks/cp-biz-automation/21.0.x?
  topic=apis-from-command-line-application
  
  The text uses "command line application" and "custom
  application" to describe the same application. "Customer command
  line application" will be used consistently.
  
  Step 2 describes the option -u "customApp:passw0rd" to
  authenticate with UMS.
  Information will be added that
  - customApp is a human readable identifier of your custom
  command line app (registered in step 1)
  - passw0rd is a very weak sample client_secret to authenticate
  "as the app" to UMS"
  
  The same command sends end user credentials as payload:
  - username is the resource owner user name for whom the access
  token is being requested
  - password is the resource owner password for whom the access
  token is being requested"
