As an operator, when installing new tiles I'm often responsible for creating UAA clients; e.g., for services which read from the firehose (newrelic, splunk, wavefront, healthwatch, etc). This can get really tedious for many multiple foundations, and I hate having to log in to so many systems' UAA as admin. This makes me wonder: is there a way for tiles to generate the credentials they require in other deployments?
Judging by how many tiles require that admins generate clients, my gut instinct is "no"... I guess a tile could try to read UAA admin client credential properties from the CF deployment, then use those values to generate their required credentials that way...?
Apologies, I realize this is a fairly open-ended question. I'd just like to know if that's even a possibility. And if it is, what does it look like?
