Symptom
- Email notification for event EVB13060888 is received stating that the tenant may still be using basic authentication or direct third‑party corporate IDP integration.
- The affected environment is already integrated with Identity Authentication Services (IAS).
- Email subject/description referenced: "Action required deprecation of basic authentication and third‑party corporate idp direct integration with SAP SF HCM Suite"
Environment
- SAP SuccessFactors Platform HCM Core
- Identity Authentication Services (IAS)
Reproducing the Issue
- Receive the email notification for event EVB13060888 regarding the deprecation of Basic Authentication or Direct Third‑Party Identity Provider (IDP) usage.
- Observe that the affected environment is already integrated with Identity Authentication Services (IAS).
Cause
A legacy Third‑Party IDP Asserting Party remains saved in Provisioning (even if disabled). The event notification logic filters by asserting parties and flags the environment as non‑compliant.
Resolution
Below are some of the checks that you can do to verify if you are already using IAS on your SuccessFactors instance:
- Go to Upgrade Center and verify if you have already ran the IAS Upgrades (Initiate IAS Upgrade, Change IAS Upgrade, or Activate IAS Upgrade).
- Go to Monitoring Tool for SAP Cloud Identity Services Integration > SAML Asserting Parties.
- Go to Manage Asserting Parties to check current asserting parties (the page will be deprecated on November 2026. KBA: 3655980 - [2H 2025] New Way to View SAML Asserting Parties in Preparation for Manage Asserting Parties Page Deprecation - SAP for Me)
If you are already using IAS on your SF tenant and if you have received this notification, you can disregard the notification.
