Authentication

A UI5 app authenticates nobody itself: the server that delivers it, an application router, a launchpad or the ABAP server, asks for the login. On this door the question is the dev server, which has to put a login in front of the app or carry one to the backend the app calls.

Overview

SAP SHIPS

SAP's backend-proxy-middleware, a custom middleware for the UI5 dev server, authenticates the requests it forwards to a backend: it uses credentials maintained with SAP Fiori tools, runs the OAuth routine of the ABAP environment on SAP BTP when scp is set, and supports a reentrance ticket as the authentication type in VS Code.

Not covered: At the backend call. Its options describe how the proxied requests are authenticated; the README describes no login in front of the app the dev server serves.
