2395508 - How to connect SuccessFactors to a new third-party site (allowlist on third-party side)

Symptom

To be able to connect your SuccessFactors (SF) instance to a new external/third-party site (SFTP/REST/SOAP), it is necessary to allowlist:

  • SAP's Data Centers IPs in the third-party servers.
  • Third-party site IPs in SAP servers.

This only applies when SuccessFactors is the Client System (the one making the call) and not the Source System (the one being called).

  • For the allowlisting on the SAP side, refer to KBA 3122406.
  • For the allowlisting on the third-party side, follow the steps below.

NOTE: Although uncommon, SAP Cloud Product IPs can change.

Environment

SAP SuccessFactors HCM Suite

Resolution

  1. Find your SAP's Data Center IPs in the KBA 2089448 - SuccessFactors Data Center Name, Location, URL, Domain Name, Mail Server details, SFTP details and Outbound IP addresses.
  2. Ask the third-party site provider to add these IPs to their allowlist so that SuccessFactors can connect successfully.

  3. Ask the third-party site provider to verify whether these IPs are not blocked (i.e., not on their IP auto-ban or blocklist).
