Hi,
I'm new to Servicenow, and i'm trying to link an app to a repo Github.
I have this message : "Repository authentication failed, check credentials. Make sure the user has both read and write access".
As shown in screenshots, I created my Credential towards Github, with a valid token.
I'm wondering a few things :
- is it normal than the password in the field, after updating credential, is shorter than the token length ?
- is the user name important when using a token ?
I specify than two factor authentication is not enabled in my Github account.
I also tried with "normal" authentication (user name and password), doesn't work neither.
I, please, really need help on this.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Yes, this worked for me. Using a basic auth
- Configure the New personal access token.Note: ServiceNow accessExpiration: I used 30 days, so that should not be an issueSelect scopes: repo
- Copy your token to keep in a secure location.
This is important as when I changed my password to my personal token, then it worked
When configuring a Credentials record to authenticate to source control, I entered my token in the Password field instead of my GitHub password.
