API Authentication update

To address security concerns, Network no longer supports submitting credentials in the URL parameters in the Authentication API call.

The update will be applied by default:

• Sandbox instances - March 28, 2025

• Production instances - April 11, 2025

This change has been announced in the Veeva Network Release Notes since version 24R2.0 (August 2024).

Action

To gain access to your Network instance using the Network API, ensure that user names and passwords are submitted in the body of the POST request.

Additional information

• See the Veeva Connect post: Upcoming 25R1 Veeva Network Security Update may affect your existing integration processes.

• For help making the change, see the Authentication topic in the Veeva Network Developer Help.

Add request match rules

In version 25R1.1, updates will be made to the default match rules used by add requests. The rules will be modified to reduce the potential for over matching for HCPs.

Changes will be made to countries in the EMEA and APAC regions and to the US.

Custom match rules

If you have made changes to the default match rules, these updates will not impact your custom rules.
