C_CPI Integration Suite Development Practice Question
An integration developer needs to expose an integration flow as an HTTP endpoint that external partners can call without authenticating. The flow performs a simple data transformation and returns a response. Which sender adapter configuration should the developer use?
⚠ Common exam trap
The trap here is assuming that anonymous HTTP access requires a special adapter type, when the HTTPS sender adapter itself supports an anonymous authorization option.

Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Configure an HTTPS sender adapter with the authorization option set to allow anonymous access.
Exposing an integration flow as an unauthenticated HTTP endpoint is done with the HTTPS sender adapter, whose authorization setting can be configured to allow anonymous access. Partners can then call the endpoint without credentials, and the flow processes the request and returns the response. Other adapter types such as OData or IDoc impose different protocols and do not provide a plain anonymous HTTP interface.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Configure an IDoc sender adapter and set the partner profile to accept unauthenticated inbound IDoc messages.
Why it's wrong here
The IDoc sender adapter receives IDoc-formatted messages, typically from SAP systems, and is not an HTTP endpoint for external partners to call. Its configuration involves IDoc metadata and partner profiles, not anonymous HTTP access. This option confuses an SAP-specific document protocol with a generic HTTP interface and does not satisfy the requirement for an unauthenticated HTTP endpoint.
- ✓
Configure an HTTPS sender adapter with the authorization option set to allow anonymous access.
Why this is correct
The HTTPS sender adapter supports an authorization setting that permits anonymous access, meaning callers do not need credentials. This matches the requirement to expose the flow without authentication. The adapter still handles the HTTP request and routes it into the integration flow, so the transformation runs and a response is returned to the caller as intended.
- ✗
Configure an HTTPS sender adapter with Client Certificate authentication and require partners to present a certificate.
Why it's wrong here
Client Certificate authentication requires partners to present a valid certificate, which contradicts the requirement that partners call the endpoint without authenticating. While it is a secure and valid adapter configuration, it adds an authentication step that the scenario explicitly does not want. This option would block unauthenticated callers, so it does not meet the stated requirement.
- ✗
Configure an OData sender adapter and enable anonymous access in the OData service definition.
Why it's wrong here
An OData sender adapter exposes an OData service, not a generic HTTP endpoint, and its configuration centers on entity sets and service metadata. While OData can allow anonymous access, it imposes an OData contract on callers and is not the adapter for a simple HTTP endpoint. The scenario asks for a plain HTTP endpoint, so this adapter type is inappropriate.
