    About this task

    For each profile, the CLI displays host information, version details, user name, login method, and preferred output format. It does not display sensitive information such as passwords or client IDs.

    Procedure

    Open your system's command-line tool and execute this command.

    Include the [--profile profile-name] argument to view the connection information for a single profile. Otherwise, the CLI lists information for all profiles.

    $ snc configure profile list [--profile profile-name]

    This command displays all configured profiles.

    $ snc configure profile list

    The CLI provides the following output.

    {
       "profiles":{
          "default":{
          "host":"https://myinstance.service-now.com",
          "loginmethod":"basic",
          "username":"admin",
          "output":"json",
          "hostversion":"Paris",
          "appversion":"1.0"
       }
    }
