failed authenticating using authentication code

[lital_halawi]

hey,

I try authenticating through Oauth to my instance using authentication code.

I fail with 401 unauthorized

{

      "error_description": "access_denied",

      "error": "server_error"

}

my flow:

I configured my instance to use my authentication server.

then - I follow https://dev12427.service-now.com/oauth_auth.do?response_type=code&client_id=30b47d885e030300230439da...

click on allow - and I see a new token is created on manage tokens (limited for 1 minute for an unknown reason)

when I try to use this token to authenticate I fail.

my request:

POST to: https://dev12427.service-now.com/oauth_token.do

client_id : ...

client_secret: ...

Conten-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded

grant_type: code

code: the authentication code I got

what am I doing wrong

Hi Lital,

While consuming servicenow endpoint and using OAuth only following grant types are supported.

password or refresh_token.

If you want to check complete details on this read my post here.

Hey Ankur,

I try following these guides:

OAuth authorization code grant flow

OAuth support for authorization code flow

Example: authcode flow: ServiceNow instance as authorization server

it appears that I can configure my instance to work with oauth using authentication code

currently I try it on a dev instance.

can you help me with that?

Hi Lital,

If you are consuming Servicenow endpoint then only above 2 grant types are supported. no other way to include one more in that list.
