3547156 - Able to access Learning via Custom Tile using Proxy Now in Bizx

Symptom

  • When using the Proxy Now feature on the BizX Platform as an Administrator, a custom tile on the home page provides a link for navigation to Learning user side. 
  • Using Custom Tile via Proxy Now allows navigation to Learning and the ability to start eLearning/Course.

Environment

SAP SuccessFactors Learning

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Login to the BizX >
  2. Navigate to Proxy Now >
  3. Search for user you want to proxy with >
  4. Click on the Custom Learning tile on the Bizx homepage >
  5. Able to access Learning via BizX Proxy feature >
  6. The proxy user can start/launch content or continue it >
  7. The online course will start.

Note: Above behavior cannot be reproduced when proxying users in LMS via Learning Administration >People > Users > Launch Proxy.

Cause

The scenario is caused by a known gap in the proxy behaviors between the Proxy Now feature on the BizX Platform and the Launch Proxy in LMS.

Resolution

As a workaround BizX Proxy feature can be disabled as a whole, for that:

  1. Navigate to Provisioning >
  2. Go to Authorized SP Assertion Consumer Service Settings >
  3. Next to Learning Assertion URLs, select the Prevent Proxy User checkbox >
  4. Click on the Save button >
  5. Administrator won't be able to Proxy Users in BizX Platform, hence unable to access Learning via Proxy Now.
