Latest Identity and Authentication Management features introduced with SAP Business One FP 2305

[Guy_Sujetzki]

With SAP Business One FP 2208 we launched the Identity and Authentication management (IAM) solution (here's my first blog on this topic). For the first time in the history of SAP Business One, we introduced the option to sign-in to SAP Business One and its core components with an external Identity provider (using OpenID Connect protocol) and directly leveraging from enhanced security features such as 2-Factor-Authentication (2FA).

Following a successful launch of IAM and positive market reaction, with SAP Business One FP 2305 we are taking IAM to the next level. I am excited to share with you the latest highlight making implementation and consumption of IAM in SAP Business One easier now more than ever!
