Set up a connection

This video demonstrates creating a SAP SuccessFactors connection.

After you start the connection, configure it in the Create connection panel and complete all of the required * authentication settings: 

Setting Instructions

Throughout integrator.io imports and exports, you will have the option to choose this new connection. A unique identifier will prove helpful later when selecting it from a list of the connections in your account.
Base URL *

Enter your SAP SuccessFactors account base URL.
For example, if your account URL is https://pmsalesdemo8.successfactors.com , then apisalesdemo8.successfactors.com is your base URL. For detailed information, see List of SAP SuccessFactors API servers.

User ID *

Enter your SAP SuccessFactors account user ID.

SAML assertion *

Paste your SAML assertion. Multiple layers of protection, including AES 256 encryption, are in place to keep your assertion safe. When editing this connection, you must re-enter this value each time; it is stored only when the connection is saved and never displayed as text.

While registering an application, you can download the private key provided with your OAuth 2.0 client application’s X.509 certificate. Use the private key to generate a SAML assertion via the terminal. For detailed information, see How to generate SAML assertion for SAP SuccessFactors API.

Tip: This connector documentation describes only the settings shown for the Simple view. For the corresponding HTTP settings, see OAuth 2.0 auth universal connector documentation.
