Prerequisites

To install the EmpowerID Orchestration Pack to ServiceNow, you need to import into your ServiceNow instance the XML file that was provided to you by EmpowerID. This file contains the necessary configuration settings for the pack as well as the endpoint information the activities need to call the EmpowerID API.

In this article, we take you through the steps for importing the prerequisite XML file into ServiceNow and adding each of the workflows in the Orchestration Pack to the ServiceNow Service Catalog. Finally, we demonstrate how to make the EmpowerID Chat Bot available to users within Service Now.

Step 1 – Import the XML file into ServiceNow

Info

Change Password workflow is using EmpowerID API to successfully Change a user’s password. To call EmpowerID API a token must be generated. Currently it has been configured as a Scheduled Job, the Empower Token Generation job, which runs every once a day. This job is responsible for generating tokens which is used to authenticate EmpowerID.

For a new instance this job should be executed first, after which it will continue to generate tokens.

Next, add the EmpowerID Chat Bot to ServiceNow.
