Generate Basic Auth credentials in ServiceNow

Learn how to generate Basic Auth credentials on ServiceNow.

Set up OAuth in ServiceNow

To set up OAuth in ServiceNow , we need to install these plugins on the instance.

  • SCIM v2
  • OAuth2.0
  • Rest API Access Policy

Learn How to install SCIM v2 plugin on ServiceNow.

Similarly, install OAuth2.0 and Rest API Access Policy plugins.

After this, We need to generate Client Credentials of an Application Registry. Follow the steps mentioned here .

Note: By default, an application registry named SCIM API is created internally when the SCIM plugin is installed. We can select this application to get the client id and client secret. This application already have a pre-configured 'REST API Access Policy' neccessary for performing SCIM endpoint requests. If we create a custom application by following the official documentation mentioned above, it won't have 'Rest API Access Policy' configured. We will have to create a 'REST API Access policy' by following the documentation mentioned in next step otherwise we will receive error while performing SCIM endpoint requests.
