ServiceNow OAuth API Provider Setup

To authenticate a ServiceNow OAuth Beta element instance you must register an app with ServiceNow OAuth Beta. When you authenticate, use the Client ID, Client Secret, and Redirect URL as the OAuth API Key, OAuth API Secret, and Callback URL.

See the latest setup instructions in the ServiceNow OAuth Beta documentation.
