Force local login doesn't work for Agent App

Hello,

we want to disable SSO for our mobile apps. We found the checkbox "Force local login" which promises that the mobile app uses "login.do" page (https://docs.servicenow.com/bundle/tokyo-mobile/page/administer/tablet-mobile-ui/task/mobile-force-l...). For the Now Mobile App everything works like expected. For the Agent App it does not work. There is still a redirect to the SSO Login Page.

 

Has anyone an idea why it does not work for Agent App?

 

Thanks!

The reason why the "Force local login" checkbox is not working for the ServiceNow Agent App is that the Agent App uses a different authentication mechanism than the Now Mobile App. The Now Mobile App uses a cookie-based authentication mechanism, while the Agent App uses a session-based authentication mechanism. try using "basic Auth" mechanism for disabling SSO for agent app

I was facing the same issue and found a solution in the following article:
https://docs.servicenow.com/bundle/vancouver-mobile/page/administer/tablet-mobile-ui/task/config-mob...

By setting the login URL for the ServiceNow Agent Application Registries record to 'oauth_login.do' the users are now redirected to the local login on the Agent app as expected.
