Authentication

These changes are part of the SAP Concur continued commitment to maintaining secure authentication.

SAP Concur is planning to add a Single Sign-On (SSO) self-service tool to SAP Concur products. This new tool will enable clients to set up SSO for their organisation without assistance from SAP Concur support. SSO is currently supported for Concur Expense, Invoice, Request and Travel.

This feature will provide new SAP Concur clients with a self-service option for setting up SSO. It will also provide an option for existing SSO clients who must eventually migrate to the new SAML v2 service to manage SSO for their users.

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.

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.

File Transfer Updates

This release note is intended for technical staff responsible for file transmissions with SAP Concur. For our customers and suppliers participating in data exchange through various secure file transfer protocols, SAP Concur is making changes that provide greater security for those file transfers.

These changes provide greater security for file transfers.

Miscellaneous

As part of our overall cloud platform strategy, SAP is planning to implement a more consistent naming convention for the URLs used to connect to SAP Concur solutions, based on data centre. Users will continue to be able to access www.concursolution.com and will be routed automatically to the correct URL or single sign-on (SSO) as part of their sign-in process.

This change supports future URL consistency across all global regions, and a central URL that redirects users to the appropriate data centre.
