Resolution

This error is synonymous with missing SSO configuration,

  • If this error is reported by a PWD instance, it means that the SSO in provisioning has been enabled. Therefore, please ensure that “Enable SSO Authentication” is disabled in Provisioning > SSO Settings.
  • If the redirect is occurring in partial SSO instances, please ensure that the below URLs in Provisioning > SSO Settings have been configured, otherwise both PWD and SSO users will be redirected to the “MissingCredentials” error page.
  • If the instance is Partial SSO, PWD users should not use the login URL format

https://<yourdatacenterURL>/login?company=<yourcompanyID>. Instead, you should append &loginMethod=PWD in the URL to login with password https://<yourdatacenterURL>/login?company=<yourcompanyID>&loginMethod=PWD

NOTE: As a customer, you don't have access to Provisioning. To complete tasks in Provisioning, contact your implementation partner. If you're no longer working with an implementation partner, contact SAP Cloud Support.
