SAP SuccessFactors 5.0 - Additional Configuration Information - Mule 4
Perform additional configuration for Anypoint Connector for SAP SuccessFactors (SuccessFactors Connector), such as using a query as a filter.
Use a Query as a Filter
To configure the Query operation to perform queries over entities of a specified type, follow these steps:
-
Select the Query operation on the canvas.
-
In the General properties tab, select Query value from the Filter drop-down.
-
In the Value field, enter the filter options using the format described in the ODATA URI Conventions site, item 4.5.
-
Select the Entity set name from the list.
The following are some example queries:
-
startswith(username, 'Mule') eq true -
startswith(username, 'JA') eq true or endswith(username, 'n3') eq true -
username eq 'Mike'
The Query value is only used for the Filter field. The actual query is built by the connector.
Generate a Keystore File
In SAP SuccessFactors Connector 5.0 and later, The private key from the X.509 certificate. is removed from OAuth SAML Bearer Assertion Authentication. You can migrate your existing public-private certificates into a keystore file. These steps show how to generate a Java keystore (JKS) file.
-
Go to your Mule workspace and open the command prompt (for Windows) or Terminal (for Mac).
-
Enter this command:
keytool -genkeypair -alias successfactors-cert -keyalg RSA -keystore successfactors-cert.jks -
Enter the following information:
-
Password for the keystore
-
Your first name and last name
-
Your organization unit
-
Your city and state, and the two-letter code for your country
The system generates a Java keystore file (JKS format) that contains a private or public key pair in your workspace.
-
-
Provide the file path for the keystore in your connector configuration.
Enter this command:
keytool -exportcert -alias successfactors-cert -file successfactors-cert.crt -keystore successfactors-cert.jksThe system exports the public key from the keystore into the workspace. This is the public key to enter in your SuccessFactors instance.
-
Verify that you have both the keystore (
successfactors-cert.jks) and the public key (successfactors-cert.crt) files in your workspace.

After you complete configuring the connector, you can try the Examples.
