3462403 - SuccessFactors OData API: OAuth 2.0 Authentication

Symptom

In this document we will demonstrate how to retrieve an OAuth Access Token to successfully authenticate against the OData API of a SuccessFactors 

   

The steps in this KBA can and should be used to test and validate that OAuth 2.0 Authentication is working correctly in SF before it is configured in the client system

These steps can also be used to troubleshoot in more detail - existing OAuth configurations that have already been setup

Please Note:

  • This document will not cover the steps on generating the SAML Assertion as there are multiple ways this step can be done and can vary depending on each customer's IT landscape 

  

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