IMPORTANT: These Planned Changes may not be all of the upcoming enhancements and modifications that affect this SAP Concur product or service. The Planned Changes that apply to multiple SAP Concur products and/or services are in a consolidated document. Please review the additional Planned Changes admin summaries available in the July 2020 Shared Planned Changes Professional Edition Admin Summary.
These changes are part of the SAP Concur solutions continued commitment to maintaining secure authentication.
Targeted for the November (9.86) Mobile release, SAP Concur solutions plans to retire the Mobile PIN sign-in option in the SAP Concur mobile app.
This change coincides with the redesign of the mobile sign-in page which will also be implemented with the November release.
Beginning with the November release, users will be able to switch back to the old sign-in page design and will be able to use the Mobile PIN sign-in option on that page. The option to switch between the old and new page designs will no longer be available beginning with the March (9.90) release.
With the retirement of the mobile PIN sign-in option, users will continue to be able to sign into the mobile app via the following methods:
Single Sign-On (SSO)
Mobile SSO
SAP Concur SAML v2 (SAML v2)
Username and password
E-mail address and password
For companies that have Single Sign-On (SSO) enabled for the web version of SAP Concur solutions, we recommend that they enable SSO on the SAP Concur mobile app, ideally migrating to SAML v2.
For information about migrating to SAML v2, refer to the SSO Service: Overview Guide (English Only) and the Shared: SSO Management Setup Guide (English Only).
Business Purpose / Client Benefit: The retirement of this feature better supports secure authentication by removing the less secure PIN option, simplifies the way users sign into the SAP Concur mobile app and makes the mobile sign-in experience more consistent with the web sign-in experience.
Targeted for the November (9.86) Mobile release, the Mobile Sign In page will be redesigned and improved. The enhancements will improve the user experience, improve security and simplify configuration. It will also assist customers who use more than one Identity Provider (like OKTA or Azure) for Single Sign-On (SSO).
There will be additional changes, which will be described in future release notes.
