This KBA aims to cover how to generate SAML assertions using the SAP-provided Offline tool, when integrating with SuccessFactors APIs.

Purpose and Usage

• This KBA is intended for demonstration purposes and developer reference.

• Software vendors must review and approve the code with their security and legal teams, particularly regarding third-party licensing, before reuse.

• SAP is not liable for issues unless caused by gross negligence or willful misconduct.

• If you use this code to generate SAML Assertions in a production environment, you are fully responsible for securing those assertions.

• All sample code is provided "AS-IS" without warranty.

Recommended Approach

• For production scenarios, the preferred method is to use a corporate Identity Provider (IdP) such as:

  • SAP Identity Authentication Services (IAS)

  • A trusted third-party IdP

• Refer to your corporate IdP's documentation for setup and configuration guidance.

• Reference: Generating a SAML Assertion chapter from OData API guide.
