signing in to SAP Business One.
Main benefits of using IAM in SAP Business One:

• Utilization of IdP’s multi-factor authentication and reduction of potential for attack
• Reduced password fatigue – users don’t need to remember an excessive number of passwords
• Single sign-on experience, supporting market-leading IdPs:
– Azure AD
– ADFS
– Okta
– SAP’s identity authentication service (beta)
• Central user management across companies and optimal license allocation
• Solid integration with extensions
• Enhanced sign-in user experience

business and lower midmarket segment, while SAP S/4HANA Cloud tackles the midmarket
and large enterprise customers. New cloud innovation and extensions working across

We are making SAP Business One fit for the next decade, investing in essential product
