We have inbound Client SSL Rest API enabled. The Client Certificate all set up and also linked to a specific user
The API makes POST request to make an attachment to table Record via server side script
Now from Postman I am making a POST request to the API to Servicenow using the same user linked to the client SSL - but just with Basic Authentication and it works. The server side script attaches the json document to the record.
Question - when the user is required make SSL authentication (by way of linking the user to a client SSL) - why did the basic authentication worked?. My understanding is - without the Client SSL Authentication for that user - the connection simply fails.
Please let me know if my understanding is correct. The reason we went for Client SSL Authentication is that - extra security.
Thanks
