3369542 - IP Allow listing character limit - SAP SuccessFactors Suite

Symptom

Environment

  • SAP SuccessFactors HCM Suite
  • SF Integrations

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Login to SuccessFactors
  2. Navigate to "OData API basic authentication Configuration" or "Password & Login Policy Settings"
  3. Try to add a List of IP addresses -> Notice that few of the last IP addresses were not added. 

Cause

By design there is a limit that needs to be respected. You can add up to 4000 characters. You can not go beyond that Limit.

Resolution

You will have to use ranges instead of single IP addresses. Otherwise you can raise an enhancement request for future development cycle considerations. [ Reference: KBA 2090228 ]
