Description

We're deprecating basic authentication user login using SuccessFactors employment username and password by May 15, 2026. We request that all customers still using basic authentication to migrate to Identity Authentication in SAP Cloud Identity Services for authentication instead since basic authentication will be deprecated by November 13, 2026. For those customers that continue to use basic authentication before Nov 13, 2026 and are still using employment username login, we request that these customers migrate to use account login name for login.See More

Detailed Description

We request that all customers still using basic authentication to migrate to Identity Authentication in SAP Cloud Identity Services for authentication instead since basic authentication will be deprecated by November 13, 2026. End of Development was reached on May 16, 2025; End of Maintenance was reached on November 14, 2025; the feature will be permanently deleted on May 15, 2026. You can continue to use the software, but you should begin planning for a time when it will no longer be available for use. After the deprecation, the user can log in the system through Identity Authentication in SAP Cloud Identity Services using login name and password or through basic authentication using account login name until Nov 13, 2026.

Impact Assessment

SuccessFactors implementations that use this functionality must take action before the deletion date to avoid business disruption. End of Maintenance was November 14, 2025, meaning SAP no longer provides bug fixes or patches. The feature will be permanently removed on May 15, 2026, after which it will be completely unavailable in production. SAP recommends migrating to method for your business scenario. Implementation teams must audit current usage, communicate with stakeholders, complete the migration to the replacement solution, and test all affected business processes before the deletion date.
