Background
In the past, the CLI supported both on-prem (basic authentication) and SAP BTP using a service key for authentication. Recent updates have dropped or broken this feature, yet we need to support both scenarios for modern hybrid ABAP landscapes.
Request
- Restore authentication support using BTP service keys (via the new
ADT_SERVICE_KEY/COPILOT_ADT_SERVICE_KEY environment variables)
- Ensure seamless fallback/selection between:
- On-prem with basic authentication
- Cloud via BTP service key (using extracted credentials)
- Update CLI and related packages to fully support both scenarios again
- Update documentation/add usage examples
- CI must exercise both auth modes (with secret injection)
Notes
- Relevant env vars are:
COPILOT_ADT_SERVICE_KEY for Copilot, ADT_SERVICE_KEY for CI Actions
- Please review previous implementation for reference and avoid regressions
This will enable fully compatible authentication for both on-prem and BTP cloud ABAP systems via the CLI.
