Bad request error when calling SCIM

[Sven_Lausen]

Dear SAP experts,

I tried to use the SAP AFC API using the description in this blog:

SAP Advanced Financial Closing: SCIM V2 | SAP Blogs

When I try to get the bearer token in a browser with the string

"https://easap-dev.authentication.eu10.hana.ondemand.com/oauth/token?grant_type=client_credentials"

I can enter the clientid and clientsecret in a popup (Username and Password). In this case I get the bearer token as a response.

But If I append clientid and clientsecret I will get a HTTP Status 400 Bad Request:

"https://easap-dev.authentication.eu10.hana.ondemand.com/oauth/token?grant_type=client_credentials&clientid=clientid&clientsecret=clientsecret"

I tried with clientid and client_id (same for the secret) but this did not help.

Could you please advise?

Thanks and kind regards

Sven

Please use the following notation:

curl --request POST \
  --url 'https://easap-dev.authentication.eu10.hana.ondemand.com/oauth/token' \
  --header 'content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' \
  --data grant_type='client_credentials' \
  --data client_id='<client-id>' \
  --data client_secret='<client-secret>'

Alternatively, this works as well (setting authorization - basic auth)

curl --request POST \
  --url 'https://easap-dev.authentication.eu10.hana.ondemand.com/oauth/token?grant_type=client_credentials' \
  -u '<client-id>:<client-secret>'
