ConnectionJSON to servicenow using Basic Auth

[jralexander137]

Does anyone happen to have a sample connectionJson for Servicenow using basic auth they could share?

There is this in the doc

{
"authentications": {
"acctAuth": {
"authType": "Basic",
"url": "https://<domain name>/api/tbng4/custom_service_catalog_api/cat_item/6b8cd34c1b227300c2bf2f066e4bcbf1",
"httpMethod": "POST",
"httpHeaders": {
"content-Type": "application/json" },
"properties": {
"userName": "<user name>",
"password": "<password>" },
"httpContentType": "application/json",
"expiryError": "ExpiredAuthenticationToken",
"retryFailureStatusCode": [401],
"authError": [
"Internal server error" ],
"timeOutError": "Read timed out",
"errorPath": "message",
"maxRefreshTryCount": 5,
"tokenResponsePath": "access_token",
"tokenType": "Basic",
"accessToken": "Basic abcd" }
}
}

Im not sure what that provided URL is for? That doesn't look like an authentication endpoint.

What do you populate in the <<TOKEN>> for basic auth? Didnt think that was needed for basic auth?

[rushikeshvartak]

You can open any url of service now and add into URL Section

Any reason for not using oauth ?

[jralexander137]

Trying to get them to do OAuth, not sure why they don't at the moment.
