Prepare for authentication

You can configure basic and authorization code authentication types to access SAP Datasphere and SAP S/4HANA applications.

Before you configure the connection properties, you need to keep the authentication details handy based on the authentication type that you want to use.

To connect to SAP S/4HANA applications using basic authentication, you need the SAP account user name and password.

Get the required details from the SAP S/4HANA application to which you want to connect.

For more information about basic authentication in SAP, see Basic authentication in the SAP documentation.

To connect to SAP Datasphere and SAP S/4HANA applications using the OAuth 2.0 authorization code, you need the SAP client ID, client secret, authorization token URL, access token URL, and access token.

To get the authorization details, you need to create an authorization integration in SAP, and register the Informatica redirect URL in SAP Integration Suite. SAP Integration Suite is an integration platform-as-a-service that enables clients that support OAuth to redirect users to an authorization page and generate access tokens.

Register the following Informatica redirect URL in SAP Integration Suite:

If the access token expires and the response returns 401 error code, Informatica redirect URL, which is outside the customer firewall, tries to connect to the endpoint and retrieves a new access token.

For more information about how to create an authorization integration and get the authorization details, see OAuth 2.0 authorization code in the SAP documentation.
