Hi @Muhammad_Faisal ,

To run mid server you require mandatory to have an account in ServiceNow and that user should have role assigned as mid_server.

Hi @Muhammad_Faisal 

You would need a non root user with privilege to install the Mid Server package. Please see the below command for silent installation on the linux server with required parameters for completing the installation. 

./installer.sh -silent -INSTANCE_URL https://instance_name.service-now.com -MUTUAL_AUTH N -MID_USERNAME username -MID_PASSWORD password -USE_PROXY N -MID_NAME mid -APP_NAME mid -APP_LONG_NAME ServiceNow_MID_Server_Mid -NON_ROOT_USER nonrootuser

The code block executes a shell script named installer.sh with several command-line options:

• -silent: Runs the installation without user interaction.
• -INSTANCE_URL https://instance_name.service-now.com: Specifies the URL of the ServiceNow instance.
• -MUTUAL_AUTH N: Indicates that mutual authentication is not enabled.
• -MID_USERNAME username: Sets the username for the MID server.
• -MID_PASSWORD password: Sets the password for the MID server.
• -USE_PROXY N: Indicates that a proxy is not used.
• -MID_NAME mid: Names the MID server instance as "mid".
• -APP_NAME mid: Sets the application name to "mid".
• -APP_LONG_NAME ServiceNow_MID_Server_Mid: Provides a longer name for the application.
• -NON_ROOT_USER nonrootuser: Specifies a non-root user for the installation.

Both non root user account is needed for the installation. Once the installation is complete you can view the installed Mid Server on the instance.
