Image/data in this KBA is from SAP internal systems, sample data, or demo systems. Any resemblance to real data is purely coincidental.

Environment

  • SAP SuccessFactors HXM Suite
    • Onboarding 1.0
    • OData API

Resolution

Deprecation of basic authentication will not affect this onboarding 1.0 API. Since these credentials are coming from Service Login.

If the KMS setting are updated from provisioning, then only you will face issue.
