Picking the right connector—and knowing what each one supports—lets you design flows that are robust, secure, and easy to maintain.
How to read the catalog
Each connector below lists:
Display Name & Type – How it appears in IPS and the internal connector key you reference in jobs.Destination Type – The protocol or API family IPS uses (HTTP, LDAP, RFC, SSH, etc.).Supported Entities – What IPS can read from that system in a top‑down context (e.g., user, group, role, or event).Visibility / Enabled – Whether the connector is visible in the UI and currently enabled.Destination Required – Whether the connector expects a dedicated “Destination” object (e.g., RFC for ABAP).

Tip: For enterprise-scale top‑down setups, a common pattern is Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD) or Identity Authentication (IAS) as the authoritative source, fanning out to S/4HANA, SuccessFactors, Ariba, Fieldglass, SAP BTP services, and any non‑SAP apps via SCIM or LDAP. Use IPS transformations (mappings, filters) to normalize attributes across targets.
SAP IPS Connector – Supported Systems
Why this matters. In a top‑down user provisioning model, you drive identities from one (or a few) authoritative sources into many downstream business applications. SAP Identity Provisioning (IPS) acts as the orchestration layer: it reads users/groups/roles from sources, optionally transforms them, and writes them into targets.Picking the right connector—and knowing what each one supports—lets you design flows that are robust, secure, and easy to maintain.
