1 SAP SuccessFactors IT Landscape Checks

An SAP SuccessFactors IT landscape check is a set of tasks and checks that Information Technology (IT)
professionals use to make sure that SAP SuccessFactors works well in their organization's software landscape.

SAP SuccessFactors is part of your IT landscape: all of the software tools you use, in the cloud and within your
organization. As an IT professional, you keep all parts of your IT landscape integrated, secure, and so on. SAP
SuccessFactors IT landscape checks are a set of instructions that we want you to be aware of, so you can keep your
organiztion's software landscape healthy.

 Note

The leading practice checks from SAP SuccessFactors aren’t the only checks you run: your IT department likely
has its own checks.

you may have to upgrade your client JRE to the most recent version so that these JRE-dependent functions
work correctly.

3 Checking Your Network Bandwidth

Determine whether your network supports the optimal application performance by using the SAP SuccessFactors
Diagnostics tool.

Context

In general, SAP SuccessFactors HXM Suite requires no more bandwidth than is required to surf the Internet. All
application modules are designed for speed and responsiveness with minimal use of large graphic files.

Procedure

1. Open the diagnostics tool by the URL: https://<domain>/diagnostic/main.

Use the same domain of the URL that you use to access the SAP SuccessFactors solutions.
2. Go to the Tests section of the tool and run the bandwidth test.

Results

The tool returns your network bandwidth. If it is below 300 Kbits per second, it is highlighted in red. When it is
below 300 Kbits per second, the performance of the application is compromised. To optimize the performance,
contact your IT support to increase the network bandwidth.

Checking Your Network Bandwidth PUBLIC 15
4 Allow Listing

4.1 Verify Akamai Allow Listing with a Browser

Click each of these URLs from within your corporate network to test if your allowlist and blocklist enable SAP
SuccessFactors to work with Akamai.

Procedure

1. Open a browser from within your corporate network.


2. Click all of the links below.

https://validate-akamai.successfactors.com/akamai/validateAkamai.html

https://validate-akamai.successfactors.eu/akamai/validateAkamai.html

https://validate-akamai.sapsf.eu/akamai/validateAkamai.html

https://validate-akamai.sapsf.cn/akamai/validateAkamai.html

After clicking each of the links, you should see a success message that reads Akamai validation completed
successfully!

Next Steps

If you do not get a message that says Akamai validation completed successfully!, then the Akamai connection
wasn't successful. Check your allow and deny lists to make sure that you can reach the domains below. Work with
your IT infrastructure team to add them to your list of domains that employees are allowed to visit (the allowlist).

• successfactors.com
• sapsf.com
• successfactors.eu
• sapsf.eu

4.2 Verify SFAPI/OData Allow Listing with a Browser

Click each of these URLs from within your corporate network to test if your allowlist and blocklist enable SAP
SuccessFactors API calls from within your network using your browsers.

Procedure

1. Look up the domain for your data center's API calls.


2. Open a browser from within your corporate network, and in the site address bar of the Browser, paste a URL in
the pattern https://test.<your Data Center Domain>/domain/validation.html.

For example, if you look up your data center domain and your domain is successfactors.com, then you
paste https://test.successfactors.com/domain/validation.html.
3. Press ENTER to go to the site.

If you’re able to reach the domain, you see a success message that reads Testing is successful.

Next Steps

If you don't get a message that says Testing is successful, then the API connection wasn't successful. Check your
allow and deny lists to make sure that you can reach the API Domain. Work with your IT infrastructure team to add
it to your list of domains that employees are allowed to go outbound from your network.

To prevent email spam, spoofing, social engineering, phishing attacks, and to make sure that your own spam filters
don't filter valid messages from SAP SuccessFactors, use an allowlist method for the email senders.

Use one of the following methods so that your email servers can distinguish valid email sent by SAP
SuccessFactors from email social engineering attacks like phishing and spoofing. These methods identify the
origins of SAP SuccessFactors email so that your system can trust them. If you don't use one of the methods we
describe, you might:

• Inadvertently filter out valid SAP SuccessFactors emails. Your spam filters or other security systems won't
recognize our email messages as valid. They could be blocked or go to quarantine depending on your
configuration.
• Receive email that looks like it’s coming from SAP SuccessFactors but is in fact spoofed by a third party
engineering an attack.

 Restriction

We no longer advocate for single sender as a leading practice for resolving spoofing issues. In some cases, if
you use single sender, your email can be blocked.

Domain Key Identified Mail (DKIM)

Domain Key Identified Mail (DKIM) allows senders to associate a domain name with an email message to validate
its authenticity with a key. SAP SuccessFactors can configure DKIM for your system. We provide you with the public
key and manage the key.

Sender Policy Framework (SPF)

Sender Policy Framework (SPF) verifies that the sender IP Address is allowed to send email from a domain against
the Domain Name System (DNS). SAP SuccessFactors sends email from a set list of IP addresses. When you add
them to your SPF configuration, you verify that the SAP SuccessFactors is the true sender of email from SAP
SuccessFactors domains.

4.4.1 Requesting a Key for Domain Key Identified Mail (DKIM)

To use Domain Key Identified Mail (DKIM) with SAP SuccessFactors, you request a key from cloud services.

Prerequisites

Before you request the key, gather this information:

• Your SAP SuccessFactors Company ID


• Your datacenter
• The full list of domains used by your users (for example, @company.com)

Procedure

1. Create a ticket with component LOD-SF-PLT-SEC to request a DKIM key.


2. In the ticket, add the information that you gathered, and then submit it.

The SAP SuccessFactors team returns the key to you or seeks additional information or policy clarification.
3. Use the key in your DKIM TXT record.
4. Update the ticket to let SAP SuccessFactors know that you have added the key.

4.4.2 Adding Listings for Sender Policy Framework

If you elect to use Sender Policy Framework (SPF) to prevent spam and spoofing from SAP SuccessFactors, you
must add a Domain Name System (DNS) listing that matches your data center.

Prerequisites

Before you can add the DNS listing for SPF, you must know your data center. If you don’t know your data center,
you can ask support.

Context

Sender Policy Framework (SPF) operates with Domain Name System (DNS). We’ve registered the IP addresses of
our email servers. You include that registry so that your system recognizes the IP addresses as valid senders.

As an alternative, use Domain Key Identified Mail (DKIM). DKIM is independent of data center numbers because it
uses a key in the message header. We manage the private key and provide you with the public key. If you move to a
new data center, we manage the key so that your service isn't interrupted.

 Restriction

We don’t support IP addresses in URLs as part of our reference architecture. Use domain names instead. If you
think you have a special case that requires IP addresses instead of domain names, contact Product Support.

Procedure

In your DNS, add the line include:_spf-dc<data center number>.sapsf.com where <data center
number> is the data center of your SAP SuccessFactors system.

For example, a company in data center 60 adds the following (where <other includes> are all the other include
statements for all other registered domains):

 Sample Code

v=spf <other includes> include:_spf-dc60.sapsf.com -all

5 Integration Center Enterprise Check

Assure that Integration Center URLs follow policy.

When using Integration Center, we have a set of policies that define URL usage - and usage of integration center in
general. Integration center is a hub of your enterprise with SAP SuccessFactors.

5.1 Source Settings For Your Inbound Integration

You can enter the File Server Settings, File Name and Folder Settings, and Advanced Settings on the Source Settings
page for the input source of the integration. These settings are required for your integration to run successfully.

File Server Settings

Field Description

SFTP Server Host Address Enter the Domain name/internet address and port of the SFTP
server.

IT Landscape Requirements for SAP SuccessFactors


26 PUBLIC Integration Center Enterprise Check
Field Description

Port For new integrations, you can't edit the SFTP port value. The
port value is set to 22 by default.

For existing integrations, you can change the existing port


value only to 22. This value will be set as default and can’t
be changed.

During an integration definition import, if the existing port


value is a different value, then the port value will be changed
and defaulted to 22.

SFTP User Name Enter the User name for the SFTP account.

 Note
You can use the period '.' character, the underscore '_'
character, and the hyphen '-' character to create your
SFTP User Name.

SFTP Password Enter the password for the SFTP account. This field supports
alphanumeric characters that are case sensitive. This field
does not support special characters (@,#,$%,^,&*).

Authentication Key From this dropdown you can select any previously generated
SSH key or the No key Authentication option. This key is used
for authentication while writing to the Destination. If you want
to generate a new SSH key, click Generate SSH Key option
which navigates you to the page where new SSH keys are gen-
erated.

Integration Center Enterprise Check PUBLIC 27
File Name and Folder Settings

Field Description

File Name Prefix Enter the name of the template to be used as the file name.
This name must be the same as the file in SFTP location.

You can process multiple files by adding wild cards (? *) to the


file name (s) that need to be processed.

For example:

If the File Name Prefix is Person_Data_*, it means that all files


in the SFTP location, of file name starting with Person_Data_
will be processed sequentially. File names, Person_Data_USA,
Person_Data_UK and so on will be processed.

If the File Name Prefix is Person_Data_?, it means that all files


in the SFTP location, of file name starting with Person_Data_
and ending with only one character will be processed sequen-
tially. File names, Person_Data_1, Person_Data_2 and so on will
be processed. In this case file name Person_Data_10 will not be
processed since it ends with two characters.

 Note
1. Make sure that the case used in the extension of
the SFTP File Name Prefix is consistent with the File
Extension field. For example, if you select the File
Extension as csv, then the extension in the File Name
Prefix should be .csv.
In case you type in any other extension, it should
match the case of the actual file extension in the SFTP
directory.
For example, if you enter CSV in the File Extension
field, then the extension in the SFTP File Name Prefix
should be .CSV.
2. Integration Center does not support blank space
and any other special character other than '_' (under-
score) in the file name.

File Extension Select or enter an extension of the file, excluding the period.
This extension must be the same as the extension of the file in
SFTP location.

 Note
If the outbound file is encrypted and saved with the ex-
tension csv, then in inbound integration, you need to en-
ter csv.pgp in the File Extension field. This will fetch the
csv.pgp file from SFTP location. Also, make sure to provide
the Decryption key in the Advanced Settings section with
the file extension as csv.pgp.

IT Landscape Requirements for SAP SuccessFactors


28 PUBLIC Integration Center Enterprise Check

6 Time Synchronization Check

The time synchronization check assures that SAP SuccessFactors is synchronizing to a standard service so that all
times in your enterprise are aligned.

In modern computer networks time synchronization is critical because every aspect of managing, securing,
planning, and debugging a network involves determining when events happen. Time also provides the only frame of
reference between all devices on the network. Without synchronized time, accurately correlating log files between
these devices is difficult, even impossible.

• It is necessary to consider clock synchronization of the cloud service customer’s systems with cloud
service provider’s systems, which run the cloud services used by the cloud service customer. Without such
synchronization, it can be difficult to reconcile events on the cloud service customer’s systems with events on
the cloud service provider’s systems.
• Tracking security breaches, network usage, or problems affecting a large number of components can be nearly
impossible if timestamps in logs are inaccurate. Time is often the critical factor that allows an event on one
network node to be mapped to a corresponding event on another.
• To reduce confusion in shared filesystems, it is important for the modification times to be consistent,
regardless of what machine the filesystems are on.
• Billing services and similar applications must know the time accurately.

Network Time Protocol

Network Time Protocol (NTP) is a protocol used to synchronize computer clock times in a network. It belongs to
and is one of the oldest parts of the TCP/IP protocol suite. The term NTP applies to both the protocol and the
client-server programs that run on computers.

Stratum Level

Network Time Protocol is a hierarchical protocol and is divided into stratum which define the distance from the
reference clock. A reference clock source that relays UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) time and has little or no
delay is known as a stratum-0 device.

IT Landscape Requirements for SAP SuccessFactors


30 PUBLIC Time Synchronization Check
6.1 NTP Services for Time Synchronization

Depending on where your SAP SuccessFactors system is hosted, it can synchronize time from one of these
speciific NTP services.

SAP Converged Cloud NTP Service

The SAP Converged Cloud NTP Service gets the time from the regional ntp.org pools. For example, for the ap-
au-1 region, 0-3.au.pool.ntp.org is used, and for the eu-de-1 region, 0-3.de.pool.ntp.org is used.

Hyperscaler NTP Service

If your SAP SuccessFactors system is hosted on a hyperscaler platform, you can synchronize the clock of your local
IT system to one of the below NTP services, depending on your configuration.

Hyperscaler Name

Microsoft Azure time.microsoft.akadns.net

Google Cloud Platform (GCP) metadata.google.internal

7 Certificate Renewal

If you receive certificate renewal notification and if you’re using a SAP SuccessFactors integration with SAP or
Non-SAP application through APIs (SFAPI/OData API/Adhoc API), then renew the certificates to assure continued
service.

Your internal IT resources conduct certificate renewals. Certificates are used for the SSL/TLS handshake for
secure system protocols before allowing connection to or from the system. SAP SuccessFactors requires an SSL
handshake for any system to connect.

• Update the SAP SuccessFactors Domain certificate for API endpoint URL.
• Check the list of potential certificate information. 2533915

Certificate Renewal Timing

Renew your certificate as soon as possible. You can maintain both the old certificate and the new one at the same
time on your middleware storage so that you don’t have down time at the transition. After the transition, you can
remove the old certificate. You can read about both the timing of the certificates and the certificates themselves in
2533915 . Take note of the following milestones in the policy:

• When SSL Certificate Renewal Notifications are published before the certificate expiration date.
• When we initiate the deployment process before the certificate expiration date.
• When the certificate is available before expiration.
• When you receive a final notification before the deployment of the certificate.

Who Is Impacted by Certificate Renewal

You’re impacted by certificate renewal if the following are true:

• You’re using our APIs (SFAPI/Odata API/Adhoc API) and have an integration scenario in your SAP
SuccessFactors instance.
• You’re using middleware for your integration.
• The SAP SuccessFactors API domain for which the certificate is being renewed (*.successfactors.eu) is same
as the domain you’re using to access/connect to SAP SuccessFactors API server using API URL as the
endpoint URL.

 Note

If you use SAP Business Technology Platform, if you already installed the SAP SuccessFactors root certificate
in your tenant, then you aren't impacted.

32 PUBLIC Certificate Renewal
Responsibilities for Certificate Uploads

You’re responsible for certificate upload, even if you’re using middleware supported by SAP.

This certificate renewal is for API integrations and doesn’t affect Single-Sign On (SSO).

Certificate Renewal and SAP SuccessFactors Learning

If the certificate renewal is for the *.successfactors.com/eu domain, then SAP SuccessFactors Learning isn't
impacted.

If the certificate renewal is for *.plateau.com then SAP SuccessFactors Learning is impacted.

9 Standards for SAP SuccessFactors
Learning Integration

If you use SAP SuccessFactors Learning and you integrate with structured content providers or online meeting
software, review our standards for the content and integration.

With SAP SuccessFactors Learning, you can take advantage of structured content (like SCORM) and integrate with
online meeting software to hold virtual, in-person training.

• If you work with a third-party vendor for structured content, they should provide the structured content in a
recent standard that we support.
• If you plan to integrate with online meeting software and take advantage of the SAP SuccessFactors Learning
Virtual Learning System (VLS), select a supported vendor.

9.1 AICC and SCORM Support for SAP SuccessFactors


Learning

SAP SuccessFactors Learning supports these versions of structured online leaning content.

• AICC
• SCORM 1.2
• SCORM 2004 2nd Edition
• SCORM 2004 4th Edition

9.2 Supported Virtual Meeting Software for SAP


SuccessFactors

SAP SuccessFactors supports these virtual meeting rooms for virtual classrooms.

Supported Virtual Meeting Software

For cloud software, we support the most recent software available during our testing cycle. However, cloud vendors
ensure that APIs are backwards compatible with earlier versions of their cloud software. This means that Learning
and cloud software integration tested with one version shouldn’t break when a new version of the cloud software is
released.

• Microsoft Teams (cloud, Microsoft Graph REST API v1.0)

IT Landscape Requirements for SAP SuccessFactors


Standards for SAP SuccessFactors Learning Integration PUBLIC 55
• Zoom Meeting 2.0 (cloud only)
• Zoom Webinar 2.0 (cloud only)
• Cisco Webex Training Center WBS40 (cloud only)
• Cisco Webex Meeting Center WBS40 (cloud only)
• Adobe Connect Meetings 11 (cloud only)
• Microsoft Lync 2013 (on-premise)
• Microsoft Skype for Business Server 2016 (on-premise)

 Note

For Adobe meeting room software, we support Adobe Connect Meetings, not Seminars or Webinars.

For Cisco Webex, we support Cisco Webex Site Administration and Cisco Webex Control Hub.

Microsoft Teams webinars and Zoom scheduled programs aren't supported.

Additional Information

Virtual meeting software provides a space for virtual classrooms in SAP SuccessFactors Learning. Users can join
the virtual meeting room to interact with an instructor and classmates. The clients install in a standard way, as if
users clicked a meeting invitation link in an email message.
