How to avoid authentication in SAP Web IDE using HTTPS?

How to avoid authentication in SAP Web IDE using HTTPS or how to use credential helper in SAP Web IDE?

https://git.wdf.sap.corp is the git hub used.

Referred this, https://kgrz.io/using-git-credential-helpers.html.

But doesn't seem to work in the GIT Repository Configuration.
The inbuild Remember me feature also does not work with cache nor works after the session is closed.

The "Remember Me" is only per session, as designed.

I didn't understand your other issue....

Hi Michal Keidar,

There is something called as the credential helper in the normal GIT client installed in the local PC which avoids the need for entering a username and password every time.

In Web IDE, it is only possible to store the password only in that session using "Remember Me". Can we somehow remove this authentication even if we close and open a new session?

Like how we store the password for sites in the browser ?

Thanks and Regards,

So my question is, is there a way to avoid entering password every time even if the browser is refreshed in SAP Web IDE Git?

Is there a possibility to use credential helper like thing in SAP Web IDE ?

Hi Jai,

When working against the popular Git services like GitHub, BitBucket, etc. you can use Personal Access Token, please see the blog we released on this manner yesterday:
https://blogs.sap.com/2018/06/26/using-personal-access-token-with-git-in-sap-web-ide/

When working against the SAP Cloud Platform Git service, we're currently working on implementing SSO experience. Please stay tuned to our release notes: https://help.sap.com/viewer/825270ffffe74d9f988a0f0066ad59f0/CF/en-US/3713b8a9c99741a59615db7fe0206640.html

Regards,
Michal.
