Token Generation

[rna]

I am trying to generate the access token for an application which I have deployed over serviceNow,

Referred the link: http://wiki.servicenow.com/index.php?title=REST_API

Rest API : https://<InstanceName>.service-now.com/oauth_token.do

Request Body:

{"grant_type":"password","client_id":"33eb1705c75f3154400b1237989343b5","client_secret":4gE[IT#5qk,

"username":"UserName",

"password":"Password"}

Response:

        Status Code: 401 Unauthorized

        {

            "error": "server_error",

            "error_description": "access_denied"

        }

Am I missing anything?

Thanks. Can you double-check that the values in the form-encoded body are actually form-encoded? In other words, if the username is "someuser@domain.com", then the username needs to be specified as:

&username=someuser%40domain.com

This goes for all the fields in body if they contain special characters.

I have tried encoding all the fields and the same results. Also for the username I have tried myusername, domain\myusername, and myusername@domain.com but still no success.

Here is a request that works for me using cURL. Note that my client secret is my##secret, and my user's password is CompleX$$pw, so see encoding.

$ curl "https://instance.service-now.com/oauth_token.do" -v -XPOST -H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" -H "Accept: */*" --data "grant_type=password&client_id=8c2dd30e1778120027b33a5ca050ded8&client_secret=my%23%23secret&username=test.user&password=CompleX%24%24pw"

I am not familiar with curl so how do I use this? Is this a program that I need to install on my computer?
