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
- Login to the BizX >
- Navigate to Proxy Now >
- Search for user you want to proxy with >
- Click on the Custom Learning tile on the Bizx homepage >
- Able to access Learning via BizX Proxy feature >
- The proxy user can start/launch content or continue it >
- 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:
- Navigate to Provisioning >
- Go to Authorized SP Assertion Consumer Service Settings >
- Next to Learning Assertion URLs, select the Prevent Proxy User checkbox >
- Click on the Save button >
- Administrator won't be able to Proxy Users in BizX Platform, hence unable to access Learning via Proxy Now.
