A change to the Onboarding new hire authentication process have been implemented by SAP.
As of the 2H 2022 Onboarding IAS integration provides Onboarding new hire authentication and user account management with SAP IAS System using Cross-domain Identity Management (SCIM) API. Since this login option has been available since 2022, SAP have since announced that Basic Authentication with SAP SuccessFactors HCM suite will no longer be supported after June 2, 2025, and the use of this method will be permanently removed on November 13, 2026.
What does this mean and how will it change the Onboarding new hire User Experience with Onboarding the IAS integration?
When a new hire is created in SAP SuccessFactors Onboarding, they’re provisioned in Identity Authentication in real-time.
If the New Hire Data Review step is available in the Onboarding process flow, then the new hire’s account is synced to SAP Identity Authentication
Service after the New Hire Review Data step is complete.If the New Hire Review Data step is not available, then as soon as the Initiate Onboarding step is complete, the new hire’s account is synced to SAP Identity Authentication Service.
