Hi Dinesh,



You can login to ServiceNow using saved credentials too. Ensure you save a password in the user profile and assign the relevant roles.


If the ServiceNow is enabled with SSO or LDAP and a specific URL is assigned to it, then you will have to use the force URL to login. This URL is configured in the Glide Properties and usually, a different login URL is used for SSO/LDAP authentication. Use this URL, pass the username and password.



While creating the account:


Make sure you don't fill LDAP/SSO primary key fields like the User Distinguished Name etc else it will try to authenticate you from LDAP.

Hi Dinesh,



If you navigate to yourinstancename.service-now.com/login.do that should take you directly to the service now login page where you should be able to login with a locally configured user.
