Authentication Mechanisms for Cloudfoundry Terraform Provider

The cloudfoundry terraform provider supports any of the following authentication mechanism currently:

USERNAME-PASSWORD

Use the env variables CF_API_URL, CF_USER and CF_PASSWORD.

Alternatively,

provider "cloudfoundry" {
    api_url = "<CF-API-URL>"
    user = "<USER-ID>"
    password = "<PASSWORD>"
}

CLIENT ID-CLIENT SECRET

Use the env variables CF_API_URL, CF_CF_CLIENT_ID and CF_CF_CLIENT_SECRET.

Alternatively,

provider "cloudfoundry" {
    api_url = "<CF-API-URL>"
    cf_client_id = "<CF-CLIENT-ID>"
    cf_client_secret = "<CF-CLIENT-SECRET>"
}

Using cf-cli configuration.

If you have installed the cf-cli and have logged into the environment, the the cloudfoundry terraform provider can use the default configuration of the cf-cli (present in ~/.cf folder) to connect to the environment.

provider cloudfoundry {}

If the provider is initialized without any parameters and no environment variables are set, then the provider will try to connect this way.
