• The NameID Attribute field in the Advanced tab of the Identity Provider form is used to define the attribute in the external identity provider that contains the user's unique identifier.
• This field is used to map the user's unique identifier from the external identity provider to the ServiceNow user record.
• This field is required to be configured in order for the external identity provider to be able to authenticate the user in ServiceNow.
