Symptom

This KBA will provide you the details on the Multi-Factor Authentication in SAP Cloud for Customer & SAP Business ByDesign.

Environment

  • SAP Cloud for Customer
  • SAP Business ByDesign

Resolution

MFA is Multi-factor Authentication, a secure authentication method that requires employees to enter their account password and a PIN to access their files and applications online.

  • SAP Cloud for Customer: SAP Cloud for Customer does not have inbuilt Multi-Factor Authentication. However, SAML 2.0 SSO can be set up using an Identify Provider(IDP) and you can configure in the IDP(like SAP cloud identity, ADFS etc) to provide multi-factor authentication.

Your preferred IDP should be able to help you with setting up Multifactor authentication.

  • SAP Business ByDesign: Multifactor authentication is not supported in Business ByDesign. However, customers can set up single sign-on and use one of the many identity providers which support the multi-factor authentication feature.
