can anyone explain me existing login widget

[pratap1]

Hi there,

In SP we have default login widget.

in server side scripting section

Where i could find GlideSPUtil defination?

in client scripting

what is spUtil object? and what is view_form.login?  

variable url cotains url for some rest api?

I have to create login for my application. should i use existing login module or create my custom login module?.
If i use existing login process then user details validation is done from existing User Table?

Can i use my own user table with existing login process? if yes then how?

Sorry for lots of question in single post. I am new to ServiceNow and creating my first application so need some help.

Thanks.

Best regards,

Pratap Ranawat

GlideSPUtil is new to me.  Not sure I can answer that question.

spUtil is a visible to you if you know where to look.

Here: https://hi.service-now.com/scripts/app.$sp/service.spUtil.js

I'm not sure that really answers that many questions but I hope it at least is a start.

Anyone got answers to his questions. 

what is spUtil object? and what is view_form.login?  

Does variable url contain URL for some rest API?

I have to create a login for my application. should I use existing login module or create my custom login module?.
If I use the existing login process then user details validation is done from the existing User Table?

Can I use my own user table with the existing login process? if yes then how?

Thanks,

I can see the rest call in login widget is hitting the above url

sputil is building the below path (angular.do?sysparm_type=view_form.login) with the passed paarameters

https://xxxx.service-now.com/angular.do?sysparm_type=view_form.login

If I use the existing login process then user details validation is done from the existing User Table?

I think yes, it will check the user table for sure  and create session for the user in server.

so you cant use your custom table for this I think.

Thank you very much SatheeshKumar. Can you tell me how "view_form.login" is linked to authentication?

I tried to trace the flow from client script to server-level validation. But I can't find the link between this view_form.login and any script includes/business rules.

Thanks & Regards,

Arun
