SSL certificate for ODATA & Compound API

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I have used ODATA API to upsert data and compound API for fetching data from Successfactors. I have used Basic authentication for enabling the transmission between API and Successfactors. It establishes the connection, data are transmitted within the two ends. Now there is a situation to use Certification based authorization replacing the Basic authentication. In order to do so, first we need to get the Certificate from the target end ( third party system ) and get the approval from successfactors and store it in Keystore.

I have a question to understand who will be handling it to deploying the certificate in Keystore and what are the other process involved in doing this steps ?

Kindly help to set up this way for transmission.

Thanks & Regards,

Jagadesh

If you can use OAuth then you don't need the certificate itself, you can configure the connection directly in SAP SuccessFactors using the X.509 certificate in Admin Center (Company Settings > Manage OAuth2 Client Applications).
