SEVERE: User cannot be authenticated or is missing the proper roles. If you have deleted or changed the MID server keystore, and config.xml mid.instance.password value is encrypted, you may need to change this value to plain text (during MID startup, password is re-encrypted using current keystore and written back to mid.instance.password).

Hey Ajeet,

Once Refer The process how to install mid-server from below docs, might be helpful to you:

This MID Server installer automates the installation of a MID Server on a Windows computer.

Before you begin

Role required: admin or mid_server

About this task

You can install one or more MID Servers on a supported Windows computer. Click this link to view the installation video:

Procedure

Create a folder for the MID Server on the top level of the drive such as ServiceNow\MID Server1.
Download the MID archive file into the new folder.
Right-click the archive and select Extract All.
Navigate to the \agent folder that was created when the file was extracted.
Change directories to the service-now\mid server name\agent folder, and enter the following command to start the MID Server installer: installer.bat.To configure the MID Server manually, skip to Step 12.The system opens the MID Server installer.
Use the installer to enter the following information.
- URL to your instance
- User credentials to run the MID Server
- Proxy server connection details
- MID server name
- MID server service name
Note: The MID Server user must have the mid_server role.
From the installer, click Start MID Server.The local host starts the MID Server.
Click Mid Servers List Page.The installer opens the MID Server list from your instance.
Select the MID Server name from the list.
Note: It may take a few seconds for the MID Server time to establish a connection with your instance.

The system displays the MID Server record.
From Related Links, click Validate.The MID Server Validated changes to Yes.
To configure the MID Server manually, edit the config.xml file with a text editor such as WordPad:
1. Find the element <parameter name="url" value="https://YOUR_INSTANCE.service-now.com" /> element and change the value to the URL of your instance.
2. Enter the MID user credentials in the mid.instance.username and mid.instance.password parameters.By default, the MID Server, uses basic authentication for SOAP messages. The password value is also encrypted authentication.
3. (Optional) Find the <parameter name="name" value="YOUR_MIDSERVER_NAME_GOES_HERE" /> element and change the value for the MID Server name.
4. (Optional) Enter connection information for the proxy server. Remove the appropriate comment tags from the proxy configuration information.For example, you can configure these parameters:
  - mid.proxy.use_proxy
  - mid.proxy.host
  - mid.proxy.port
  - mid.proxy.username
  - mid.proxy.password
If you configured the MID Server manually, finalize the configuration as follows:
1. Execute the batch file start.bat.The system starts the new MID Server.
2. Log into the instance.
3. Navigate to MID Servers > Servers.The system displays a list of MID Server records.
