SuccessFactors

Step 1: Login to SF Instance >Admin center > Password and Login Policy Settings> Click on Set API login exceptions

Step 2: Check exception user settings

Step 3: For Set API login exception maximum password age (in days) set is -1 --> apiadmin is added in SET API login exception but password is still expiring after certain days {set under "Maximum Password Age (in days)"}

API login exceptions are only applicable for authorizing API user for making API calls and this setting does not respect access to UI

1. The password change prompt appears for API user on SuccessFactors' UI Login screen however the API password will never expire for the API calls [Expected Behavior]

2. For SuccessFactors UI Login, password policy settings apply from the highlighted screenshot and it is applicable for all employees.

3. For Eg: If the password is expired while making API calls, error message looks like "Authentication failed, password has expired(status code = 19). Please attempt a login to the SuccessFactors UI to reset, or contact your system administrator." will return in the response.
