Exclude Basic Auth Credentials Using for the discovery

[ErangaW]

Hi Everyone,

We have multiple types of credentials stored on our credential table. This includes few Basic Auth credentials. What we recently noticed is when discovery in progress, it used these Basic auth credentials also to perform discovery.

We just want to prevent using these basic auth credentials from discovery. Can you please help us identify the way for excluding them from using for the discovery ?

Only way i can think of is - delete or deactivate basic auth records from credential table.

if for a given IP -if Affinity record is not there then based on sczaam probe port return it tries all.

Basic auth may be used for REST based integration or Discovery.

Hi Rahul,

Suppose following this step will fix my issue.

https://docs.servicenow.com/bundle/rome-platform-security/page/product/credentials/concept/discovery...

I have to keep those basic auth credentials as they were used for other rest integrations.

I have identified the credentials that are only needed for discovery and will align them with the credential alias. Then planning to set them in each discovery schedule. Hope that Fix the issue.

Regards,

Eranga

You can avoid it be either creating a behaviour and tag to the discovery schedule OR create alias which is more efficient way to make sure only the required credentials are called for the desingated schedule.

I have used alias and it works fine

Hi,

Multiple ways to resolve this issue.

1) If Basic Auth credential is not used for any integration then deactivate this credentials.

2) Define MID Server in that specific credential to use correct credential for that discovery.

Thank you
