What is Network Security Solutions/ options to allow suppliers , without requiring VPN, to access SAP Sourcing On Premise installed behind the firewal.
I have searched SDN/ SCN forum and find there are 2 people posted similar questions but no one has answer...I think this information will be very usefull for all companies that plan to implement SAP Sourcing on-premise...So I really hope any Security experts can share their experience. Thank you in advance
Detail questions
How to allow the suppliers access to SAP Sourcing/ CLM i.e. perform self registration and submit RFP response without requiring them to have VPN access?
Requiring a separate VPN User ID/ Password for the suppliers to access to our company’s network will inhibit the effectiveness of rolling out SAP Sourcing to our suppliers
- We want to install SAP Sourcing systems inside the internal firewall
- The supplier should be able to access the SAP Sourcing systems to do supplier registration and submit RFP response/ submit contract
- I understand that the URL for supplier registration and submit RFP response can different but they all point to the same server.
1. The URL for supplier registration has /sourcing/fsguestvendor/
2. The URL to submit RFP response has /sourcing/fsvendor/
3. The URL for internal users has /sourcing/fsbuyer/
