## Changes in This Release

SAP SuccessFactors Connector 5.0 includes these changes.

- Basic Authentication is now deprecated.

- In OAuth SAML Bearer Assertion Authentication:

  - **The private key from the X.509 certificate.** and **The authorisation url.** fields are
    removed.

    For more information about how to generate a keystore file, refer to
    [Generate a Keystore File](https://docs.mulesoft.com/sap-successfactors-connector/latest/sap-successfactors-connector-config-topics#generate-keystore).

  - **Key store**, **Store password**, **Type**, and **Certificate alias** fields are added.

  - **Scopes** is moved from the **Advanced** tab to the **General** tab.

## Upgrade Prerequisites

Before you perform the upgrade, you must create a backup of your files, data, and configurations in
case you need to restore to them.

## Upgrade Steps

Follow these steps to perform the upgrade:

1.  In Anypoint Studio, create a Mule project.

2.  In the **Mule Palette** view, click **Search in Exchange**.

3.  In **Add Dependencies to Project**, enter `successfactors` in the search field.

4.  In **Available modules**, select **SuccessFactors** and click **Add**.

5.  Click **Finish**.

6.  Verify that the SAP SuccessFactors Connector dependency version is `5.0.0` in the `pom.xml` file
    in the Mule project.

Studio upgrades the connector automatically.

### Verify the Upgrade

After you install the latest version of the connector, follow these steps to verify the upgrade:

1.  In Studio, verify that there are no errors in the **Problems** or **Console** views.

2.  Verify that there are no problems in the project `pom.xml` file.

3.  Test the connection to verify that the operations work.

## Troubleshoot

If there are problems with caching the parameters and caching the metadata, try restarting Anypoint
Studio.

### Revert the Upgrade

If it is necessary to revert to the previous version of SAP SuccessFactors Connector, change the
`sap-successfactors-connector` dependency version `5.0.0` in the project’s `pom.xml` to the previous
version.

You must update the project’s `pom.xml` in Anypoint Studio.
