2 Introduction

This document describes the steps required to set up a secure connection between an Employee Central Payroll
customer and SAP. After a summary on VPN technologies, we will talk about some technical prerequisites as well
as VPN configuration details.

The Employee Central Payroll VPN connection is primarily needed for the back end access to SAP Payroll systems
via SAPGui. However, it can also be used for RFC/ALE based integrations.

For integration scenarios where it is possible , SAP recommends that you rather use Web Services instead of RFC
to be less dependent on the VPN connection.

 Note

A VPN connection can’t be used for Integration scenarios with HTTP/HTTPS connections.

3 General Information on VPN Technologies

IPsec-VPN

Internet Protocol Security (IPsec) is a protocol suite that can provide a secure communication channel through
insecure networks like the Public Internet. IPsec-VPNs are typically used to connect businesses in a secure and
cost-efficient way.

As IPsec VPN technology has been de facto an industry standard for B2B connections for years, we will not explain
further technical details of IPsec VPNs in this document.

Another VPN Technologies

Beside IPsec VPNs, there are more VPN technologies like L2TP, PPTP, or SSL-VPNs. Note that these VPN
technologies are not supported by SAP.

4 Technical Details of the VPN Connection to
SAP

The technical setup consists of at least a VPN device and an SAProuter on the customer side, as well as a VPN
device and a load balanced SAProuter farm on the SAP side. Note that all network devices at SAP are set up as a
high available cluster. For simplicity reasons, VPN devices, Firewalls, and Load Balancer are represented as single
devices in this picture:

4.1 IPsec VPN Prerequisites

This section explains the prerequisites that must be met in order to set up a VPN connection to SAP and access
Employee Central Payroll systems.

IPsec-Capable VPN Device

As SAP SE only supports IPsec-VPNs, an IPsec-capable VPN device is required. Examples of IPsec-capable VPN
devices are Checkpoint FW-1, Cisco ASR, Cisco ASA, Sophos UTM, Palo Alto Networks Firewalls, etc. If you are not
sure whether your VPN device supports IPsec-VPNs, contact the vendor of your VPN device.

6 INTERNAL – Authorized for SAP Customers and Partners Technical Details of the VPN Connection to SAP
Static Public IP Address of Your VPN Device

Dynamic IP addresses are not supported for VPN connections to SAP. In case your VPN device is using dynamically
assigned IP address, ask your ISP to provide you a statically assigned IP address.

SAProuter Installation

Connectivity between the customer landscape and the Employee Central Payroll systems is limited to SAProuter
connections. For details about SAProuter, see SAProuter [page 11].

Officially Registered IP of Your SAProuter

In order to prevent IP address conflicts on our VPN devices that are caused by different customers using the same
IP address range in their internal network, SAP requires the usage of an officially registered IP address assigned to
your SAProuter. If you prefer to use private IP addresses for your systems this can be achieved by using Network
Address Translation on your VPN device, or by setting up NAT-T (to use the Outside Interface IP as the Encryption
Domain IP. Additionally, ensure that the NAT can communicate between your Private and Public IP of router with
your service provider if Opted for.

DSN Resolution on your SAProuter

Using the Disaster Recovery (DS) setupt requires using Fully Qualified Domain Names (FQDNs) for the SAProuters
on SAP side. For this, your SAProuter needs to be able to resolve SAP Public DNS entries:

● SAProuter FQDN EMEA: sr-emea.payroll.gtm.ondemand.com


● SAProuter FQDN US: sr-amer.payroll.gtm.ondemand.com
● SAProuter APJ: sr-apj.payroll.gtm.ondemand.com

4.3 Creation of Service Request to Configure the VPN


Connection

See how to create service request to configure the VPN connection for your Employee Central Payroll systems.

Go to the One Support Launchpad and follow the steps described in KBA 3012342 .

SAP has built Disaster Recovery systems at SAP DR sites for every corresponding Employee Central Payroll
Production system. In case of any disaster situation at SAP Production site, customer must be able to connect to
DR system via DR VPN Tunnel to continue with business run, until Production system become available.

The same configuration details submitted for Production VPN tunnel would be used for DR tunnel creation too. In
case you require separate tunnel for SAP DR site, please raise new service request for DR tunnel. For more
information, refer to Point #7 in KBA 3012342 . Choose Option - DR VPN Tunnel Setup.

For more details on Disaster Recovery Tunnel set up process and technical information please refer to KBA
0003037793 and 2875892 .

4.4 Security Policy

By default, only SAProuter connections (tcp/3299) and ICMP for debugging purposes are allowed through the VPN
connection. This results in the following security policy:

● <Encryption Domain Customer> → <Encryption Domain SAP> tcp/3299


● <Encryption Domain Customer> → <Encryption Domain SAP> icmp
● <Encryption Domain Customer> -> <Encryption Domain DR Site> icmp
● <Encryption Domain Customer> -> <Encryption Domain DR Site> icmp

● <Encryption Domain SAP> -> <Encryption Domain Customer> tcp/3299


● <Encryption Domain SAP> -> <Encryption Domain Customer> icmp
● <Encryption Domain SAP> -> <Encryption Domain DR Site > tcp/3299
● <Encryption Domain SAP> -> <Encryption Domain DR Site > icmp

4.5 SAProuter

SAProuter is a software application that provides Application Level Gateway (ALG) functionality for SAP application
protocols.

Typically, a SAProuter is used to provide a remote connection to the SAP support infrastructure. For Employee
Central Payroll connectivity, the SAProuter is used only as Application Level Gateway.

 Caution

You don't need to register this SAProuter with SAP Support.

If you already have a SAProuter installed, it’s possible to use it also to connect to your SAP Payroll systems, but we
highly recommend that you use a separate SAProuter installation for this purpose.

As stated in the section IPsec VPN Prerequisites, your SAProuter should be configured with a public IP address
owned by your company. This is necessary as we need to avoid IP address conflicts with other customers on our
VPN gateways. As most customers use private IP addresses on their internal systems, this can be achieved by
applying Network Address Translation (NAT) like on the VPN-Gateway.

4.5.1 Download and Install SAProuter

Context

SAProuter related data is available on the SAP Support Portal Home .

Procedure

1. Select Download SAPRouter to download the latest version of the SAProuter software according to the
operating system of the host where you plan to install SAProuter.

Downloaded files are in format .sar. Download SAPCAR_XXX-XXXXXXXX.EXE if not available.


2. Extract the SAProuter executables using the SAPCAR_XXX-XXXXXXXX.EXE -xvf saprouter_XXX-
XXXXXXXX.sar command.

For Windows hosts, the command above must be executed from command prompt.
3. Create a file saprouttab in the folder where executables are downloaded.

4.6 Employee Central Payroll Connectivity

4.6.1 Customer Access to/from Payroll Systems Via VPN

The following graphic illustrates customer access to SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central Payroll systems over a
virtual private network (VPN). As stated previously in the Introduction [page 4], the primary reason for using the
VPN is SAPGui access to the SAP Payroll systems. It can also be used for remote function call (RFC)/application
link enabling (ALE) based integrations. SAP recommends that you use Web Services instead of RFC to set up
integration wherever possible.

SAPGui and SAP RFC use SAProuters on both sides of the connection. SAProuter strings are required to establish a
successful connection. The SAProuter strings vary depending on the location of the SAP Payroll systems. The
following list of SAProuter strings is provided to be used for end-to-end connectivity tests using the SAP NIPING
tool. The SAProuter string used in SAP Logon is slightly different – see the next section for details.
