Hello -
I’m looking for some urgent guidance- We have a Scripted REST API endpoint that will be called by another application(Inbound Integration). For the authorization we have to use 3rd party token generation at our company not the servicenow OAuth token URL. how do we validate 3rd party token generator for inbound scripted rest api servicenow.
I have the client ID and secret created by that 3rd party token validator tool, and tested with the Servicenow Endpoint. Able to get the token, but using with that token it's throwing an error in POSTMAN as user unauthenticated. Can you please guide me on how to connect to 3rd party token validator tool to Servicenow.
Thanks

when the ServiceNow scripted REST API is consumed by external system they will have to authenticate either with OAuth using token or Basic AUTH.
you will have to discuss this with the validator tool.
If my response helped please mark it correct and close the thread so that it benefits future readers.
