Steps to install MID Server:-

1. Check MID Server host computer must have access to the ServiceNow Instance to download the MID Server installer package. If not you must import the MID Server installer package into your MID Server hosts manually.
2. Create the MID Server user account and grant the appropriate role(mid_server) to this user.
3. Download the MID archive file for the host machine and Extract All.
4. Install the MID Server:-

• • Navigate to the agent folder that was created when the file was extracted.
  • Edit the following parameters in the config.xml file with a text editor.
  • • <parameter name="url" value="https://YOUR_INSTANCE.service-now.com" />
    • Enter the MID user credentials in the mid.instance.username and mid.instance.password parameters.
    • <parameter name="name" value="YOUR_MIDSERVER_NAME_GOES_HERE" /> element and change the value for the MID Server name.
    • (Optional) Enter connection information for the proxy server.
  • Run start.bat to start the MID Server. (open command prompt with run as administrator).
  • On the instance, in the Related Links, select Validate.

This way you can easily install a mid server.

I have followed these steps and given the user mid_server role but in agent.logs i can see that user not Authenticated.....also in the config file

If your ServiceNow instance has authentication enabled (the normal case), set
these parameters to define the user name and password the MID server will use

this is one of the instruction do i have to enable any authentication in servicenow site?
