Hi Prasad,

Since REST API call to ServiceNow happens in backend why you require sso?

Are you saying that you require a user in user table with valid sso id and use this user for integration purpose?

I think there is no need for sso for REST API. Just create a local user account, share the username and password to API team and that's it.

Mark Correct if this solves your issue and also hit Like and Helpful if you find my response worthy based on the impact.
Thanks

We want to create Incidents from custom mobile application with Service now users actual credentials. So that we need authenticate user first with service now.
