Support for SAP-Connectivity-Technical-Authentication header

See original GitHub issue

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

The release 2.15.0 of SAP Cloud connector adds a new Authentication Type - Technical User Propagation. It can be used by setting the HTTP Header SAP-Connectivity-Technical-Authentication instead of the SAP-Connectivity-Authentication header which is already supported in the SAP Cloud SDK.

Describe the solution you’d like

Provide a possibility to decide on a by request level if either SAP-Connectivity-Technical-Authentication or SAP-Connectivity-Authentication should be sent.

Impact / Priority

Affected development phase: Production

Impact: Inconvenience

Additional context

Getting support for the Technical User Propagation would allow us to get rid of destinations using basic authentication which we currently need to use when our CAP endpoint is called by the Job Scheduling service.

This feature is being released in a step-wise approach. First in cloud connector, then in Destination service, etc. Kindly be patient, and stay tuned watching the What’s New for SAP Business Technology Platform - Connectivity

Then I will remove the blocked label and increase priority in our backlog for this ticket so that we will support this also from the SDK side.
