1E Core post-installation tasks

Post-installation tasks, which include mandatory and optional configuration tasks.

The 1E Core application communicates with the 1E system that is hosted in your production network. Settings must be configured to manage how the 1E Core application works.

App Configuration Page

The App Configuration node is in the Administration section of the 1E Core application, where administrators can configure various application settings.

This page is only accessible to a ServiceNow user that is a member of 1E Core app role x_1e_core_connect.admin. If the user is also a ServiceNow admin the page will only be accessible after setting the scope to 1E Core.

All the fields on the App Configuration page are mandatory with default values except the MID Server. The domain separation feature (Single-Tenant or Multi-Tenant) will be autopopulated based on whether the Domain Separation plugin is activated. It can also be configured from the x_1e_core_connect.multi_tenant_instance system property.

Due to the limitations of ServiceNow property pages, there are no validation checks applied to any of the settings. You should take extra care to ensure that all the fields are filled out correctly.

The following table describes the fields available on this page:

Field

Description

1E Platform URL

The base URL for the 1E Platform server (specifically, the server that hosts the Consumer API component of the 1E Master Stack).

Switch to OAuth-based Authentication

The business application's authentication to 1E is managed using this checkbox. If checked, the application will authenticate itself via Modern Authentication. Else, the application will authenticate itself via Basic Authentication.

Are You Using MID Server for OAuth-based Authentication

This checkbox specifies whether an application will use MID Server with OAuth on-premises or not. However, it plays no role if the application will use Basic Authentication with MID Server and the functionality remains the same. If checked, the application will use MID Server for OAuth. Else, the application will not use MID Server for OAuth.

 

Note that the use of OAuth by the application is decided by the above checkbox.

MID Server

The MID Server name used for 1E, if applicable. Please refer to ServiceNow requirements.
