This topic describes how to authenticate to SAP Concur and configure any necessary connection properties in the SAP Concur connection connector.

Connection Configuration #

Each connection property available in the SAP Concur connector is explained below.

Connection Name #

The name of the connection to be created should be provided. This is the name that will display on the list of available connections.

Auth Scheme #

The type of authentication to use when connecting to SAP Concur.

• OAuth: Authenticates you using OAuth with a client ID and secret. Should be used with server-side applications.

• CompanyLevelAuth: Set to this to perform Company Level Authentication with password grant type OAuth..

Client ID #

The client Id assigned when you register your application with an OAuth authorization server.

Client Secret #

The client secret assigned when you register your application with an OAuth authorization server.

Access Token #

The access token for connecting using OAuth.

Refresh Token #

The OAuth refresh token for the corresponding OAuth access token.

OAuth Grant Type #

The grant type for the OAuth flow.

The following options are available: CODE,PASSWORD

Company ID #

Unique identifier of your company. This is required for Company Level Authentication.

Company Request Token #

The Company Request Token generated from the Company Request Token tool or retrieved from SAP Concur support.

Admins with the required permissions will have a link to the Company Request Token tool on the Administration > Company > Authentication Administration page.

Concur Instance URL #

The server URL to use. The new server URLs are backwards compatible with the legacy authentication methods, so set this only if necessary. For example https://concursolutions.com for some production accounts and https://implementation.concursolutions.com for sandbox accounts.

Set this connection property if you are using V1-V3 API version and the server does not accept the Base Url with region information.

LoginId #

Login ID of the user. Can be used if the user account associated with the OAuth 2.0 access token has a Concur account with one of these roles: Web Services Administrator for Professional or Can Administer for Standard.

Setting the Login ID to “ALL” will retrieve information for all accounts at the expense of certain tables that do not support this argument.

User ID #

The unique identifier of the SAP Concur user. Used only for tables that expose V4 endpoints of the SAP Concur API.

Query the Identity table to retrieve this value. Some V4 tables allow UserId to be set as query parameter.

Region #

The region where the server is located. Valid values are US, EU and CN.

Use Sandbox #

A boolean indicating if you are using a Sandbox account. The provider makes requests to the production environment by default.

Use New OAuth Version #

A boolean indicating wether the new authentication version should be used.

Add Configuration: Additional properties can be added using this option as key-value pairs.

After entering all the details, click on the TEST button.

If the connection service identification and authentication details are provided correctly, a success message stating “connection available” is generated.

Click on the CREATE button to save the changes.

If the details are incorrect or the server is down, you will get a message “Connection unavailable”.
