ServiceNow OAuth 2.0 inbound integration | OAuth 2.0 ServiceNow Complete setup in 10 min with ease

Hi Folks , in this video we will be looking into ServiceNow OAuth 2.0 inbound integration . We will be looking into the below given points
1. What is diffrence between Basic and OAuth
2. What is OAUTH integration
3. How we can use OAUTH integration
4. What is Access and Referesh token
5. Demo

Lets try to understand what is OAUTH first ?
OAuth 2.0 lets users access instance resources through external clients by obtaining a token rather than by entering login credentials with each resource request.
You must have the security_admin role to manage the OAuth integration. Configure OAuth 2.0 for the following scenarios:

OAuth external client scenario: Your instance provides an endpoint for third-party clients to pull data from the instance.
OAuth provider scenario: Your instance pulls data from a third-party provider.
Both the simple security and high security frameworks support OAuth 2.0. High Security is recommended. See for information about which versions have high security already active and how to activate high security.
OAuth grant types
A grant type is the way that the client obtains the access token. The following grant types are supported:
Authorization code: The consumer first gets an authorization code and then uses it to get an access token. You can Specify an OAuth profile and specify this grant type. The process that uses the authorization code is also referred to as auth code flow or authorization code flow.
Resource owner password credentials: The consumer of the resource already has the user credentials to get the access token. This process is also referred to as password flow.
Client credentials: The consumer of the resource uses the client ID and client secret that is already configured in the application registry.
Storage of authentication credentials
The OAuth client secret is stored as a password2 type field, which is encrypted in Triple DES. User passwords, which are used to check incoming endpoint requests, are stored as a hash value in the User table in a password type field (SHA 256).

Set up OAuth
Set up and activate OAuth, enable the OAuth system property, create an OAuth application endpoint for external client applications to access the instance, and set OAuth parameters.

ServiceNow is a software platform which supports IT Service Management (ITSM). Majorly, It helps you to to manage service requests or incidents. You could find lots of details about its REST Interface and OAuth Integration. However, its lacking lots of information and you will unable to use it since some of the key information is missing. Stay tuned … you will find everything you need for OAuth Integration in this article.
Setting Up OAuth
Activate the OAuth plugin.
In order to set us OAuth, you must be owning a developer instance which you can create from here. After login in to the instance, type “Plugins” in the filter section shown below and search for the OAuth plugin and click “Activate”.

2. Set the OAuth property.
Search the below property value in filter section and set the value to true.

3. Create Application Registry.
Create application registry for OAuth by filtering using “Application Registry” and click on New.
Fill the relevant details and complete creation of the application.
