Step number zero :-) . you will need to have a linux VM that can reach to VRA on port 443

1. Define your variables

identity_service_url='https://<vRA-HOSTNAME>'
username='<your_username>'
password='<your_password>'

2. Execute the below command

api_token=`curl -k -X POST \
  "$identity_service_url/csp/gateway/am/api/login?access_token" \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{
  "username": "'"$username"'",
  "password": "'"$password"'"
}' | jq -r .refresh_token`

3. Get the refresh token

echo $api_token

to get the access token:

1. Define your variables

identity_service_url='https://<vRA-HOSTNAME>'
username='<your_username>'
password='<your_password>'

2. Execute the below command
access_token=`curl -k -X POST \
  "$identity_service_url/iaas/api/login" \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -s \
  -d '{
  "refreshToken": "'"$api_token"'"
}' | jq -r .token`

3. Get the access token
echo $access_token
