  DERIVED FROM DOCS ONLY. SAP Taulia publishes no OpenAPI, so there are no securitySchemes to
  read; every scheme below is transcribed from SAP Taulia's own published documentation and is
  marked with the page it came from. Nothing here was inferred from a spec.

schemes:
- id: oauth2-jwt-bearer-ias
  type: oauth2
  subtype: jwt-bearer-trust
  applies_to: Buyer integration API (SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition activation)
  documented: true
  source: https://support.taulia.com/article/Easy-Guide-to-Activating-SAP-Taulia-with-S-4HANA-Cloud-Public-Edition
  detail: >-
    The customer creates an OpenID Connect application in SAP Cloud Identity Services (IAS),
    configures a client secret for API authentication, and adds a self-defined `aud` attribute to
    single sign-on. The token is then trusted by SAP Taulia through a token setup registered in
    the Taulia platform under Settings > Integrations > Setup Token.
  parameters:
    audience: extapi-buyer-integration
    issuer: the customer's SAP IAS tenant URL (e.g. https://<tenant>.accounts400.ondemand.com)
    jwks_url: >-
      the IAS certificate URL — the customer's
      https://<IAS INSTANCE URL>/.well-known/openid-configuration or its /oauth2/certs endpoint
    subject: the Client ID generated in IAS
  note: >-
    The audience string `extapi-buyer-integration` is the only publicly published identifier of
    SAP Taulia's external buyer integration API.
- id: api-key-secret
  type: apiKey
  applies_to: Taulia Buyer API and Taulia Supplier API (direct REST integration)
  documented: true
  source: https://taulia.com/dss/
  detail: >-
    The Description of Software Services states that the direct API integration follows RESTful
    principles with resource-oriented URLs, JSON request and response bodies, HTTP verbs and HTTP
    status codes for errors, and that authentication uses an assigned API key.
  parameters:
    header: unknown
    key_prefix: unknown
  note: >-
    The DSS does not publish the header name, the signing algorithm, or a key prefix. Key issuance
    is handled by SAP Taulia during customer onboarding, not through self-service.
- id: saml2-sso
  type: federated-sso
  applies_to: Taulia platform web portal (human sign-in, not API)
  documented: true
  source: https://taulia.com/dss/
  detail: >-
    SAML 2.0 single sign-on is supported with response signing; assertion encryption is not
    supported.
- id: mfa
  type: two-factor
  applies_to: Taulia platform web portal (human sign-in, not API)
  documented: true
  source: https://taulia.com/dss/
  detail: Two-factor authentication is available and can be mandated for an account.
not_the_api_authorization_server:
- url: https://support.taulia.com/.well-known/openid-configuration
  status: 200
  issuer: https://support.taulia.com/vforcesite
  note: >-
    This 200 is the stock Salesforce Experience Cloud OIDC discovery document for the SAP Taulia
    support community. Its scopes are Salesforce platform scopes (api, web, chatter_api,
    cdp_*_api, wave_api …), not Taulia API scopes. It is recorded so a later pass does not mistake
    it for the Taulia API authorization server; nothing was derived from it and no scopes/
    artifact was written from it.
gaps:
- No public authentication reference page with header names, token lifetimes, or error responses.
- No self-service key issuance; credentials are provisioned during onboarding.
- No published OAuth scope list for the Buyer or Supplier API.
