There is a scheduled maintenance activity planned by the ServiceNow to update the SSL certificates and as a part of Impact assessment, we need steps to identify hard coded SSL certificates in our instance as those are likely to get skipped during maintenance activity & needs to be handled manually.

 

So, any advice / help on Steps to identify hard - coded SSL Certificates on our instance ?

Hi, 

 

Please check this support article.

As per the article the following are the 2 things that needs to be take care.

The only customers likely to require manual intervention are those who have integrations, caching or proxy servers that use a hard-coded ServiceNow SSL certificate.

  • Some inbound integrations (services connecting to your ServiceNow instance) may have the current SSL certificate hard-coded. You can view integrations that may be affected in our documentation: Integration with third-party applications and data sources. Contact the service owner of any integration that connects to your ServiceNow instance to verify that it will properly handle the SSL certificate change.
  • If you access your ServiceNow instance using a URL similar to https://<instance-name>.service-now.com/, you are likely not affected. If you access your ServiceNow instance by a different URL, you most likely access the instance through a proxy. Please contact your IT department or network administrator to verify that the proxy can handle the SSL certificate change properly.
