Any Discovery pro can help me out of this situation where we want to run discovery on linux machine without creating the local user.
Because we have implemented Ockta ASA (Advanced server access).
Which don't really requires local user to be created on linux machine to sign in. We don't have any users created locally on machine we use Ockta ASA which acts like single sign on to get into system.

Hi @zafarp
As per OKTA document SSH access be done remotely it recommends Open Proxy Commands. Refer the link below
https://help.okta.com/asa/en-us/content/topics/adv_server_access/docs/setup/ssh.htm
Did you try creating the SSH credentials in ServiceNow and tested against any Unix Host? Try testing the credentials. Also ensure the credential has the sufficient privileges.
