Summary by cubic

Added a complete write-only Platform Token Server authentication flow to the SAP SuccessFactors LMS guide and clarified the inputs needed to link accounts. This enables teams to configure OAuth2 with X.509 to write data safely.

  • New Features
    • Documented Authentication Flow 3 with steps to find the API Server, Learning Domain URL, Username, Company ID, register the OAuth2 client, generate the X.509 certificate, download the private key, and locate the API Key.
    • Added the Learning Content Provider requirement to the connection steps.
    • Renamed the linking section to “Connecting Your Account,” kept the Flows 1 & 2 linking section, and noted initial auth may take up to 15 minutes (401 until ready).

Written for commit e9dca84. Summary will update on new commits.

- Add note that Platform Token Server auth is write-only
- Include Learning Content Provider step in authentication flow
- Change "Connecting with StackOne" to "Connecting Your Account"
- Add complete Authentication Flow 3 section with all required steps
