2551066 - "Authentication failed" error on eQuest

"ID Error" or "Authentication failed. The username or password supplied is incorrect." error when clicking "Add Job Boards" on Job postings - eQuest

Successfactors Recruiting Management (RCM)

1. Go to bizx > Recruiting module

2. Select an approved Job requisition > go to Job postings

3. Then verify that Job Board Posting - eQuest is being used

4. Click "Add Job Boards" button and you will receive the "Authentication failed" error:

Either the external system account for PARTNER_PASSWORD or PARTNER_PASSWORD is incorrect. In this case, the problem is with the incorrect PARTNER_PASSWORD.

1. Go to bizx > Admin Center > Manage External User Accounts

2. Export all external accounts to generate a .csv file of the instance's existing configuration

3. From the extracted .csv file, you can verify the USER_NAME if it's correct since it's from the Successfactors side.

4. Then to verify the correct PARTNER_USERNAME and PARTNER_PASSWORD, you will need to engage eQuest support.

Note: For security purposes, the PARTNER_PASSWORD will not be viewable in the extracted .csv file

5. Once the PARTNER_USERNAME has been verified and the eQuest support provided the PARTNER_PASSWORD, you can now update the .csv file and re-upload it in Successfactors by going to bizx > Admin Center > Manage External User Accounts > Import External accounts
