Creating an HTTP destination to connect to Success Factors LMS with OAuth2

[eachtime]

Hi All,

I'm trying to connect to SucessFactors LMS that uses oAuth2 authentication. I can authenticate directly using chrome plugin Advanced Rest Service sing the encoded64 secret key like this:

I tried to adapt this to the destination in HCP so I can connect to it but with no luck, I always get permission denied:

Many thanks for you help!

Cheers,

Tiago

Hi Tiago,

we are also trying the same, through the Postman service we are able to generate the token and consume it but same process not working in UI5. We are setting the destination in SCP as well but that scenario is also not working.

Please let us know if you were able to successfully connect the LMS system to SCP.

Hi Tiago,

As far as I can see you are using Basic Authentication in the Advanced REST Client and trying to connect to the LMS in HANA Cloud platform using the SAML Bearer Assertion. So you are comparing two different authentication  mechanism with each other.

What do you want to accomplish? Do you want to have a technical user (Admin API-User) log in and perform some recurring tasks on the LMS? Or do you want to have your code act on behalf of a user who successfully logged into BizX?

In case it is the later one: Did you build up a trust relationship between the HANA Cloud platform and the Successfactors BizX so that you can use BizX as a SAML Identity provider for HCP? As far as I know (maybe I am wrong) this is a prerequisite for using the Bearer Assertion and have the code act on behalf of the logged in user.

I didn't access LMS with OAuth in the past but I did access BizX using OAuth and SAML Bearer Assertion. So I don't know if there are any pitfalls related to LMS.

kind regards
