Set up the ServiceNow Remote Instance spoke

  • リリースバージョン: Australia
  • 更新日 2026年03月12日
  • 所要時間：12分

    • Integrate the local and remote ServiceNow instances by creating an OAuth API endpoint in the remote ServiceNow instance to authenticate requests.

    始める前に

    • Request an Integration Hub subscription.
    • Activate the ServiceNow Remote Instance spoke in remote and local ServiceNow instances.
      注:
      The terms remote instance and local instance are used in these contexts:
      • Local instance: This is the ServiceNow instance from which the communication is initiated and established.
      • Remote instance: This is the ServiceNow instance with which the local instance communicates.
    • Role required: admin.
      注:
      Admin role is required to only set up the spoke.

      To use the spoke, ensure that the spoke users have only the required minimum permissions to access data in ServiceNow tables. Do not assign elevated privilege roles to users of this spoke unless very much required. This practice ensures controlled access to data.

      The integration users must have the flow_operator and other required roles to access the table they want to interact with. Also, they need roles to access the Table [sys_db_object] and Dictionary Entry [sys_dictionary] tables to show dynamic options such as, table names and fields in a table.

    Register remote ServiceNow instance as an OAuth provider

    Register remote ServiceNow instance as an OAuth provider so that the local ServiceNow instance can request OAuth 2.0 tokens.

    始める前に

    • In the remote ServiceNow instance:
      • Create an OAuth API endpoint for external clients. In Redirect URL, specify the URL of the local ServiceNow instance in this format: https://<instance-name>.service-now.com/oauth_redirect.do. For more information, see Create an endpoint for clients to access the instance.
      • Copy and record the values of Client ID and Client Secret.
    • Role required: admin

    手順

    1. Navigate to All > System OAuth > Application Registry.
    2. Open for the record, RemoteSpoke.
    3. On the form, fill these values.
      表 : 1. Application Registries form
