In 2H_2023 release, SAP is blocking the sftp port of sftp destinations to 22 in built-in integration tool
Integration Center
What used to be configurable, is now a fixed value.
How a customer who is having multiple integration with third party vendors having SFTP server on different port than 22 ( customer is not choosing these port , these is the third party vendor who does that)
are supposed to send their employee list from Integration Center ?
Are we supposed to use
Multiple Destinations
in Integration Center
which seems to not be impacted by these change or these will be changed as well in next release ?
But these workaround is only working if we do the move from
Single destination
To
Multiple destinations
In B2305 release ( before nov 17th)
i don't see the benefit from an end-user perspective, except that we are forced to move integration (simple or not) to cpi
Or drop the file on successfactors sftp server
And have a second job on a ETL platform ( different from integration center) to download the file on the target sftp server using a different port than 22
just because sap decided to remove a feature that was introduced several years ago to improve the self-service of the Integration Center feature.
as a reminder for SAP :
Changing the SFTP port would fall under “security through obscurity” which means that the security isn’t technically enhanced, but the SFTP port has been obscured and isn’t as easy for attackers to access. In practice, this means that the thousands of bots scanning the internet for open SFTP servers are a lot less likely to find yours.
