Login to Checkmarx via token or without username/password

[teodem]

Describe the problem

As user, i want to use cx-flow to run my SAST scans directly in the pipeline. For that, i would prefer and recommend to use a bearer token to access the Checkmarx Server instead of credentials (username and password).

Proposed solution

An idea could be to use authentication via bearer token.

A clear description of what you want to happen.
I would like to store the bearer token as CI/CD variable in GitLab and access Checkmarx Server like that.

Additional details

This is supposed to increase security (no credentials laying around nor traveling through potential insecure channel). As far as i know you also have an option to encrypt credentials, but i would prefer working with tokens, like most of the other tools already support.

Add any other details / contexts / screenshots about the feature request.
