Switch from basic auth to workload identity based auth for SAP SuccessFactors provisioning integrations

Microsoft Entra is introducing workload identity–based authentication for SAP SuccessFactors provisioning. This new capability allows the Microsoft Entra provisioning service to authenticate to SAP SuccessFactors using Entra workload identity and short‑lived tokens instead of static credentials (username and password).

This change helps customers transition to a more secure authentication model in preparation for SAP’s plan to deprecate basic authentication for SuccessFactors APIs by November 2026.
