Example using Node.js to get an Auth Code from Cloud Foundry's UAA for use with SSH (i.e. same as `cf ssh-code`)

README.md

To test this:

1. Run npm install or yarn install
2. Run node index.js && ssh -p 2222 cf:$(cf app app-name --guid)/[email protected], where app-name is your app name and ssh.system.domain.com is the DNS name of your SSH end point.
3. When prompted for a password, enter the code listed after Access Code is.

You should now be SSH'd into the given application & instance id.

NOTE: better error handling should be done, but has been omitted to keep this example brief.

index.js

const rp = require('request-promise-native')
const url = require('url')
// require('request-debug')(rp)

// Point this to your API
const API = 'api.system.domain.com'

// fetch the API information, from which we can grab the authorization endpoint
rp({
  uri: 'https://' + API + '/v2/info',
  json: true
}).then(function (data) {
  return data.authorization_endpoint
}).then(function (loginApi) {
  // get an auth token, which we need to get an auth code
  //  this requires your user & password
  rp({
    uri: loginApi + '/oauth/token',
    method: 'POST',
    json: true,
    form: {
      'grant_type': 'password',
      // insert your user name & password below
      'username': 'your-user-name',
      'password': 'your-password'
    },
    headers: {
      // this uses `cf` as the client and `` as the client secret
      //  most CF installations have this client configured as it's what
      //  the cf cli uses
      'Authorization': 'Basic ' + new Buffer('cf:').toString('base64')
    }
  }).then(function (data) {
    return [loginApi, data.access_token]
  }).then(function (data) {
    var loginApi = data[0]
    var accessToken = data[1]
    // request an auth code
    //  we use the ssh-proxy client id as most CF envs will have this client
    //  we set response type to code, so we get the auth code
    //  we also add the bearer token as an authorization header, this is the
    //   auth token we received from the previous HTTP request
    //  we don't want to redirect as the Location header will contain our
    //   newly minted auth code
    rp({
      uri: loginApi + '/oauth/authorize',
      method: 'GET',
      json: true,
      qs: {
        client_id: 'ssh-proxy',
        grant_type: 'authorization_code',
        response_type: 'code'
      },
      headers: {
        'Authorization': 'Bearer ' + accessToken
      },
      followRedirect: false
    }).then(function (data) {
      console.log('Sorry, didn\'t get the expected response.')
    }).catch(function (err) {
      if (err.statusCode === 302) {
        var data = url.parse(err.response.headers.location, true)
        // just printing the auth code, but you can do whatever you want with it
        console.log('Access Code is ' + data.query.code)
      }
    })
  })
})
