Symptom
- When a rehire onboardee attempts to log in, it's redirecting to the learning login page instead of the onboarding home page.
- The error message displayed is "user is not active".
Environment
SAP SuccessFactors Onboarding
Reproducing the Issue
- Open the onboarding login link for external onboardees (the link includes the parameter pm_product_name=ONB).
- Enter the onboardee’s username and password.
- Observe that, after submitting credentials, the flow redirects to a learning login page.
- Note the error "user is not active".
Cause
This is a known /sf/start landing page regression. The onboardee rehire user’s stored landing page preference is incorrectly resolving to a learning deeplink instead of falling back to /sf/home. A code fix is planned for release b2611.
Resolution
Our engineer has identified a known issue.
As a workaround, please change the URL of the page with: https://<SF_URL>/sf/home?bplte_company=<companyID>. Then press the key Enter to access the home page.
- For example (for DC68): https://performancemanager4.successfactors.com/sf/home?bplte_company=<companyID>
