To convert Ansible Integration from Basic Auth to OAuth in ServiceNow, follow these steps:

1. **Create an OAuth API Endpoint in ServiceNow:**
- Navigate to System OAuth > Application Registry.
- Click on New and select Create an OAuth API endpoint for external clients.
- Fill in the necessary details like Name, Redirect URL, etc. and submit.

2. **Create a Client Secret:**
- After creating the OAuth API endpoint, a client ID and client secret will be generated.
- Store these details securely as they will be used in Ansible.

3. **Create an Access Token:**
- Navigate to System OAuth > Access Token.
- Click on New to create a new access token.
- Fill in the necessary details like Name, User, etc. and submit.

4. **Update Ansible Configuration:**
- In your Ansible configuration, replace the basic auth credentials with the OAuth credentials.
- The client ID and client secret generated in step 2 will be used here.
- The access token generated in step 3 will also be used here.

5. **Test the Integration:**
- After updating the Ansible configuration, test the integration to ensure everything is working as expected.
