3223182 - Mandatory DKIM setup - SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Symptom

Sending emails from the system does not work after changing e-mail domain. 

Environment

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Cause

Setting up Domain Keys Identified Mail (DKIM) is mandatory if it is desired to send emails from the system.

Securing the email using DKIM became mandatory since SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition 2208 release.

The purpose of this task is to apply the email security standard DKIM to emails sent by the SAP S/4HANA system. With that it is possible to make sure messages aren't altered in transit between the sending and receiving email servers. It uses public-key cryptography to sign emails with a private key as it leaves a sending email server.

Resolution

To enable DKIM on the sending email server hosted by SAP:

  1. Create a request for DKIM activation to SAP.
  2. Update the Domain Name Server (DNS) with information provided by SAP.
  3. Finally close the request once the setup is in place and validated.

Afterwards, the business email is sent using DKIM.

Procedure

To request the setup and activation of DKIM for your business emails sent by the system, you need to: 

  1. Log on to SAP for Me.
  2. Under Dashboards, choose Services & Support.
  3. On the Service Requests tab, choose New Service Request. The system displays the New Service Request dialog.
  4. Choose the Partner & Other Cloud Services radio button, then choose Create Service Request.
  5. Search for SAP S/4HANA Cloud: DKIM enablement for custom sender domains and open the service request.
  6. Read the service-related information and choose Add Service.
  7. Under Tenants, specify the relevant tenant for your SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition system (recommended: customizing tenant).
  8. In the Enter the Domain Name field, enter a domain name according to your business requirements.
  9. A confirmation text for your service request is displayed. Under Confirmation, select the checkbox to confirm that you meet the prerequisites for the service, or you agree to the guidelines as per the SAP Standards, and that you are ready to proceed with the service.
  10. Choose Submit to send your service request to SAP
