Symptom

  • 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

Reproducing the Issue
