How are we setting password for the user which got created in AD server from ServiceNow using FlowD?

[Prathamesh Chav]

Hi Team,

I am creating user in AD server, but how are we creating password for that user in AD server?

can we map ServiceNow Password field and AD server password field is that possible? without any extra charges?

Currently we are trying to Integrate this using flow designer with available spoke but password part is confusing.

I am referring to this link for the user creation :- How to use the Create User Action for the AD Spoke - Support and Troubleshooting

Hi @Prathamesh Chav ,

The custom action will help you to set password,Check this out if you are using the Microsoft AD spoke.

@Prathamesh Chav 

whenever you are creating user in AD server you might be having some random password which you are using for setting in AD server, use same password encrypt it and set it in sys_user record

what script did you try so far or flow you tried so far and where are you stuck?
