Get an access or refresh token from vRA8/vRAC

Simple program to get either a refresh or acces token from vRealize Automation 8 that can be used by something else.

This has been tested with vRA8 but not vRA Cloud (though it should work)

Usage

There are five params

• -user : Name of the user logging in to vRA(defaults to administrator)
• -password (required): the user's password
• -domain: (optional) : the authentication domain
• -server: Name/FQDN/IP of vra server (defaults to vRA Cloud Endpoint if not specified)
• -type: Token Type to return access|refresh (Defaults to refresh if not specified)

Simply returns either the refresh or access token value and nothing else.

Examples
